Film School Rejects
Kate Erbland
The Lucky One is so dismal, so off-kilter, so nonsensical that even the ever-ready charms of Zac Efron cannot redeem it in the slightest.
Chicago Reader
Tal Rosenberg
As long as Efron's shirt comes off, he could play an accountant and no one in the target audience would care.

Leonard Maltin
I won't elaborate on the plot points. I'll just say that I could have done without the melodramatic elements that punctuate the film and underscore its climax.
Richard Roeper.com
Richard Roeper
Well-acted schmaltz with some gaping plot holes.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
[Hicks] hits the beats - lonely woman, hunky stranger - without bothering to develop even the slightest depth.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The overheated eroticism could have at least made for a camp classic, but the film's chilling narcissism ultimately makes for a pleasureless fantasy.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
I'm beginning to think writer Nicholas Sparks isn't one person at all, but a roomful of ladies doing Harlequin-romance Mad Libs.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A sudsy romantic melodrama that in the 1950s would have been directed with lurid overkill by the likes of Douglas Sirk.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A lazy (in all ways) Nicholas Sparks romance that's as pretty and vacant as its hero.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
For all its soap-opera psychodrama, The Lucky One is pretty boilerplate stuff, with barely a smidgeon of surprise and a foregone conclusion.
Film.com
William Goss
Logan's opening voice-over describes how fate can throw one's life off-course, but nothing about the film that follows strays from Sparks' well-established tear-jerking formula...
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Director Scott Hicks pours enough syrup over this movie to cover all the pancakes IHOP can serve in a month.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The Sparks-styled romance has almost become its own movie genre - predictable, pure of heart, sentimental and never straying from the boy-meets-girl basics, or the surface, for that matter - and in that "The Lucky One" delivers.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Unable as I am to locate any feelings about him, I see Mr. Efron as a hunk with a problem delivering sustained dialogue in units of more than one or two sentences.
USA Today
The cliches are as thick as a vat of honey. And the love story proves just as syrupy.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The Lucky One doesn't have a genuine emotion in it or a plausible reason to endure it. It's strictly for the sisters of the cult of Sparks and the men who love them.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Efron and Schilling simply look like two pretty people who are bound to get together because they both have the big blue eyes of a porcelain doll.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The latest screen adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance in which fate, destiny, and sage cliches whirl together in a sugar crash of meaningful moments and tasteful eroticism.
