Even taken as simple schmaltz, 'The Lucky One' lacks the romantic impact of the adaptation of Sparks's 'The Notebook' or even the Channing Tatum-starrer 'Dear John'.
Anna Smith, Time Out

As long as Efron's shirt comes off, he could play an accountant and no one in the target audience would care.

[Hicks] hits the beats - lonely woman, hunky stranger - without bothering to develop even the slightest depth.
