Review of The Lucky One (2012) by Michellecsmith1 — 05 Sep 2020

Contrary to many critics' opinion, for me, The Lucky One depicts a carefully diligent and lovely portrayal of a modern, heartfelt fairytale romance grounded in real and relatable experiences and emotion to which the viewer can easily form intimate connections with.

Combat war backgrounds and small town single parenthood, both with their own underlying complexities, may be cliche, but it doesnt make them any less meaningful or somehow ingenuine. Cliches become cliched precisely because at their origin they are valid enough to warrant vast reiteration until the idea is so beautifully simple that it can reach anyone at their core.

Moreover, I found that the meaning behind the story of the miracle photo has much more depth than others give it credit for. Expectations, cheesy lines, and judgements aside, a beautifully romantic, raw and unshrinking love story unravels that is undeniably passionate and signular.

The unrelenting chemistry the two share is unhindered and magnetically attractive to a fault, ultimately portraying a fundamental connection that is seductively mesmerizing in every scene. Couple that with the idyllic quaint yet breathtaking small town Louisiana country setting and you'll have the ultimate dream home and love story to forever fantasize about.
