I read a review of The Lucky One by Todd McCarthy on The Hollywood Reporter online. The movie review comments of all three aspects of literary aspects; literary, dramatic, and cinematic. The review of the movie, based on the Nicolas Spark's book, mostly explains the plot.
The Lucky One and tells the story of a veteran named Logan who finds the picture of a woman who, by some mysterious fate, saves him from many of the disasters at war. Logan promises himself that when he returns from war he will find the woman who saved him and thank her. He ends up falling in love with the woman and realizing the problems of her life with her abusive ex-husband and bullied 8-year old.
McCarthy touches lightly on the dramatic aspects of the film. He talks about Efron's performance and comments that his potential was not shown. He also talks about the limited use of sets in the war zone.
He talks about the cinematic affects, commenting on the interesting use of camera angles. He also talks about the beautiful light from the set in Louisiana.
