Review of The Lucky One (2012) by Seymourmovies — 02 Jul 2016

I read the book and perhaps that's what ruined the movie. Rarely does a director improve on a book (Horse Whisperer and Robert Redford is an example) and so I think that the director failed when he didn't stick with the book.

Nicholas Sparks has great ideas, and sometimes not so great endings, but the beginning and middle of the book were better than this movie. I am not a tween nor a 20 or 30 something, but have had to take course work for art in pursuit of a BA and MA.

I love sometimes stupid movies just for the laughs, but this movie was a total disappointment. I gave it two stars for the effort of the performers. The director shoulders the rest of my disgust with his freedom of interpretation.
