Lucky One, The
horizontal line

After a hunky, blue-eyed, Colorado Marine (Zac Efron) finds a picture of a beautiful woman (Taylor Schilling) during his third tour of duty in Iraq and walks across the U.S. with his faithful German shepherd Zeus to thank her for being his good luck charm in this unevenly paced, bittersweet, romantic film, which is loosely based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, is highlighted by picturesque cinematography, and hindered by one-note acting, he falls in love with her and her chess-savvy, violin-playing son (Riley Thomas Stewart) after her widowed grandmother (Blythe Danner) hires him to work in their Louisiana dog kennel and then quickly proceeds to anger and frustrate her jealous sheriff ex-husband (Jay R. Ferguson) who wants his family back; some readers of the book may be disappointed.
