Review: What a beautiful film with outstanding performances from Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling & Blythe Danner. Zac Efron plays Logan, an ex marine on a journey to thank what he believes is a good luck charm that saves him from a war that should have killed him. Taylor Schilling (Beth) annoyed by this traveller, is a victim her ex-husband who is to scared to believe that she deserves any happiness. When fate intervenes, Logan & Beth find in each other what they have been missing. Probably classified as a chic flick, I dare you not to enjoy this convincing romantic tale of loss, love, hope & fate.
