THE LUCKY ONE

Opening April 20th 2012

Directed by Scott Hicks and produced by Denise Di Novi, The Lucky One stars Zach Efron as (Logan) and Taylor Schilling as (Beth). The film is based off of the book written by Nicholas Sparks which was a successful seller. The movie runs slightly over 100 minutes and is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Logan is a U.S marine who is returning home to North Carolina. During his time in Iraq, he kept a picture that he had found. It was a picture of a beautiful woman who he claims was what kept him alive during his stay. He does not know this woman but over time, he learns her name is Beth and where she lives. He shows up at her door one day and begins to work with her family in a family-ran local kennel. Beth has mistrust issues and complications in her life, but a romance develops between the two.

The film is rated PG and has the potential to be a good film; more directed torward females. Nicholas Sparks has written many love novels that have later been made into films. I personally will not see this movie in theatres because it is not my genre but definately go see it if you want to see a chick flick!!
