Hey guys I just wanted to make a quick post about this movie I just finished watching to which I also have posted the link above. The movie is "The Lucky One" by Director Scott Hicks and based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. Now, I'm NOT a big romantic -ask any of my friends- and the only reason I watched this movie was because I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan (guilty pleasure, don't hold it against me). I have read several of his books and have loved all of them, matter of fact, "The Notebook" is my favorite movie and my favorite N.S. book as well. After having said that I guess it's clear why I saw this movie. But if there is one thing I am is honest, and I gotta tell you, I just finished watching it and thought WHAT THE F-CK?! This movie is crap!

So basically the argument is this one guy named Logan (Zac Efron) is a marine who just got back from Iraq and had a bunch of messed up things happen to. According to what I understood he's "the lucky one" and we realize this after seeing how everybody around him seems to keep having all these tragedies happen and he's just mad because he survived? Okay... Then there's this lady, Beth (Taylor Schilling) who just lost her brother, is divorced from a real a-hole, is an orphan and lives with her granny and 8 yr-old son. In a very predictable and Nicholas Sparks-like turn of events these two characters who at first seem to not get along at all start an affair and it's all sex from there... So as Logan keeps "getting lucky" -get it? lol- this lady has yet another tragedy come her way when because of her new boy toy her douchebag ex-husband threatens with taking her son away and ruin her life, yet again. Finally the kid's dad ends up dying while trying to rescue him after he was trying to kidnap him? - major WTF right?!?!- and so Logan and Beth end up getting together... a bunch of other stupid shit happens in between but that pretty much sums it up for you.

So here I am thinking what the hell was Nicholas S. thinking? This so called argument is so crappy it should be a lifetime movie. He's just trying too hard and guess what? IT AIN'T WORKING!! They weren't crazy in love, there was no grand gesture like in most of his books and the ending is just plain stupid. This poor kid ends up losing his dad-which is not really much of a loss- just so a 25-year-old war veteran can bang his mom guilt free. I stand corrected this last sentence pretty much sums up the whole movie. There is no lucky one in this movie!! I certainly do not feel lucky that I watched it or inspired. I just feel like someone should pay me for having watched this.

Now it's possible that I'm being too hard on it. It is after all not supposed to win an academy award -which it certainly won't- it is just suppose to entertain. And let me tell you something Zac Efron is one hot piece of ass! I can see the entertainment there... However, I do wish I'd seen a little more Noah Calhoun and a little less Nate Archibald (that irrelevant pretty boy from Gossip Girl) in his character. This one? a total disappointment. I don't really recommend you see it unless you think you won't miss that hour and forty minutes of your life that I assure you will not get back...like ever.

It's completely up to you, you've been warned.
