I enjoyed the movie, but how it got a PG 13 rating I don't know. I have not seen another PG 13 movie with such erotic love scenes. Other than that, it was a good movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons too erotic for pg 13
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lucky One was a very good, predictable story. Very enjoyable and engaging. It kept my interest and the sets and lighting bathed my eys in serenity. I LOVED the locations and the lighting was fabulous! I'd like to be able to light a scene like that. probably the most outstanding part of the film. There were a few things that bothered me. Probably the most distracting thing was the Cop's name pin wasn't in the proper location. Blythe's white nail polish was distracting on CU. Should have used clear like Zac. Zac is nice to look at but he didn't deliver a lot of his lines very convincingly. Blythe did an outstanding job as did the little boy acting as her son. Overall, very good film. Definitley worth watching.
Pros well paced, great story, fabulous lighting

The acting was awesome, the story line was fantastic. PG13 may be a little lean for young children as there is a lot of adult romance. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would see it again. I laughted, I cried, this movie was awesome.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons too much sexual inuendos for a pg 13

I was really excited to see this movie with my daughter after reading the book just a couple weeks before. Outcome....not overly thrilled about it. Could have had a little better acting in it. Noticed a lot of monotone scenes. I did like the story-line. It was much like the book, not much difference, which doesn't often happen with movies/books. Would I recommend it to friends? I would with the recommendation they keep an open mind of the acting.
Pros great story
Cons bad acting
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The story and scenery was beautiful. Zac Efron has become a very sexy young man. He is so handsome and gentle in this film. I loved the fact that it portrayed a young marine who was encountering serious ramifications from the trauma of war and how he found his way back to reality. Blythe Danner was a very supporting actress. Taylor Schilling is a beautiful and graceful actress.
Pros great story
Cons need a little more war portral, it took to long to get to the photo revelation
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is better than good. It's very good. It was authentic, and well acted but not over acted. Good pace with good editing and the cinematography is better than average. Considering the genre, I wouldn't lose any sleep giving this flick 5 stars. It's a love story. And they aren't made much better.

It was cheesy and corny and the story line was ok, not great. Zac Efron is hot, but he looks like he's about the cry the entire time and just didn't do it for me. To say it's Nicholas Sparks' best movie since The Notebook is a big fat lie. Not worth movie theater price at all; wait for Red Box on this one.

A love story? Call it a 'Crappy', 'baseless' and 'nonsense' drama, and it would make sense then. Plot builds up nice and keeps audience engaged, but then a series of illogical events, reasons just made me puke. Probably I already am too old for such movies, because a lot of teens appeared to have liked it a lot. Use your judgement and leave your brains outside the theatre before watching...
No, I do not recommend this movie.

It was an incredibly touching movie! It had just the right amount of comic relief and proved to have a more deeply woven story line than in the book, which I also loved. Zac Efron & Taylor Schilling really proved themselves in this movie. It was a wonderful experience & I can't wait to see it again! (Probably tomorrow...)
