PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Scott Hicks (can it have been 16 years since Shine?) serves up this treacly tale with absolutely no trace of self-consciousness about the material's cliches or simple-mindedness" (Todd McCarthy: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"The sun breaks through the clouds, you smile through your tears, and your cynicism - even the tiny voice in your head crying out, 'Wait, none of this makes any sense!' - is silenced by sweet music and swelling sentiment" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"If you've ever liked a Nicholas Sparks movie, you're likely to enjoy this one (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"'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 (...) Rating: * (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"A sudsy romantic melodrama that in the 1950s would have been directed with lurid overkill by the likes of Douglas Sirk (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)
