DVD: The Lucky One
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The latest of the many mawkish Hollywood melodramas to be based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, The Lucky One miscasts the elfin Zac Efron as a US Marine who tracks down a blue-eyed blonde (Taylor Schilling) he spotted in a photograph in Iraq.
Once they meet in her rural home, there's nothing standing in the way of their idyllic romance, so the film slots a series of sun-kissed montages into the gap where its story should be.
