Logan accepts and lives close by, getting to know Beth and her family without Beth knowing why he is really there. Instead of telling Beth the truth she assumes Logan is there to apply for a job at the kennel.

He discovers her name is Beth Green and she lives in Louisiana with her son, running a dog kennel with her mother, and with an alcoholic ex-husband close by. He decides to go find the girl in the photo and thank her for saving his life. When Logan returns home to his life, he is suffering PTSD and unable to focus. The good luck charm is a photograph he found on the battlefield of a woman he does not know. The plot of The Lucky One features U.S Marine, Logan Thibault returning home from his third tour of duty in Iraq with a good luck charm in his hand that he credits to be what kept him alive. To put it into perspective I have seen every Nicholas Spark’s movie at least three times, but I only saw this one once. Obviously we are still going to discuss this and the takeaways, but as usual I like to throw my two cents in, just so those of you reading this are aware. Additionally the plot for The Lucky One is very unique, but if portrayed wrong on film it can make Efron’s character Logan Thibault come off as a stalker. Starring the beautiful Zac Efron, and way too old for him Taylor Schilling, my issue with this movie is that the leads lack major chemistry and are not great to watch on screen.

Actually what’s funny is I absolutely loved the book, but extremely disliked the movie. If you couldn’t already tell from the title I am going to be perfectly straight with you guys and admit that I really don’t care for Nicholas Spark’s The Lucky One.
