The Lucky One

Today I thought I would give my views on movies that are already in theatres. My first review in on the movie The Lucky One. This is a movie that is based on a book by Nicholas Sparks. It stars Zac Efron, Blythe Danner and Taylor Schilling. This is a story of a Marine who spots a picture and while he admires the picture is kept safe from a bomb that went off where he was sitting. Trying to fit in back in the U.S. and suffering from PTSD, he sets out to find the woman he claims saved his life. He finally finds her and he becomes attached to her little boy and helps her deal with the loss of her brother who was a Marine. She has an ex-husband who threatens to take her son away unless she stops seeing Logan(Zac Efron) and when that didn't work the ex-husband breaks into Logan's pad and finds the picture. She then asks Logan to leave and that is when the climax starts which I won't give away.

Zac Efron did an amazing job in his transitional movie from teen to man, Blythe Danner was good as the grandmother, Taylor Schilling was convincing as Beth but Riley Thomas Stewart who played her son Ben stole the scenes. This movie is a must if  you love romance. I highly recommend this movie.
