You give me death by treehouse collapse. I give you a 10/10.

I am sorry, but Zac Efron was just too young for this role at the age of 25. She looked older than him. Probably now, at 35 he would've been perfect, but not back then. He was like a teenager with e beard. I couldn't believe the 25 vet thing... It probably is true for U.S., but I would've preffered a little bit more mature guy. Anyway, I liked the movie, just your typical romance movie, not great, not terrible.

For a chick-flick it's not too bad.

The movie itself is, of course, very much a cliché piled on top of another - a typical romance film for women. But it’s enjoyable nonetheless and a pleasure to watch.

Zac Efron in a marine uniform walking kilometers to find a woman from a photo he found in Iraq. Believable? Zero. Did I care? Neither. Nicholas Sparks writes the same movie over and over, and here is no exception. From minute five you know they're going to fall in love, that the ex-husband is going to be the big bad villain, and that there will be a dramatic scene in the rain. Everything happens exactly like that. Taylor Schilling is there, being pretty and suffering as the character requires. They didn't give her much to work with, honestly. The golden retriever Zeus, on the other hand, steals every scene effortlessly. It's not good. But it doesn't pretend to be either. Sometimes you just need to watch hot people kissing among Louisiana landscapes.
