Adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks comes another “Notebook-ish” type tale of an Iraqi marine, Logan (Zach Efron) in the middle of a combat explosion in which he is saved because h the hunky lead has happened to stop to read a
photograph her finds in the mud. It says: “Keep Safe.” And he does!
Fast forward the tour of duty is done and he goes home determined to find the girl in the picture. Long story
short he locates Beth (Taylor Schilling) after walking from Colorado to Louisiana and finds her running a kennel. He wants a job, she thinks he’s dreamy and he attempts to be a quality actor though somehow he’s still that boy
from Charlie St Cloud but with grown-up muscles. The plot becomes pretty transparent until a
few minor triangle upsets come along to alter perfection. But if it didn’t, we wouldn’t have a movie. Two and a half tiaras
