* 1/2 The Lucky One In this latest movie Xeroxed from a Nicholas Sparks novel, Zac Efron plays Logan Thibault, a Marine convinced that he owes his life to a photo of a pretty blonde. He travels to meet the woman in the picture (Taylor Schilling) and they fall in love. As sex education goes, it’s a terrible development.
