A treatise on masculinity masquerading as a fairytale love story, The Lucky One (12A) stars Zac Efron as Logan, who finds a picture of a beautiful blonde woman while serving as a Marine in Iraq.

Based on a book by Nicholas Sparks, who also penned ‘The Notebook’ and ‘Dear John’, ‘The Lucky One’ follows a similar template – hunky guy, beautiful girl, deathly spectre of war – to chronicle the efforts of a battle-hardened Marine (Zac Efron) to track down the divorced mom (Taylor Schilling), whose photograph literally saved his life behind enemy lines.

Zac Efron is in talks to star in ‘The Lucky One’.

Based on a true story, this is a character-driven drama about family values and coping with tragedy, featuring another fine performance from Owen.

A slight, fluffy and seen-it-all-before romance in which Zeta Jones and Eckhart play out an obvious opposites-attract love-hate plotline that goes nowhere in particular.
