U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron) returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive--a photograph he found of a woman he doesn't even know.

Learning her name is Beth (Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel.

Despite her initial mistrust and the complications in her life, a romance develops between them, giving Logan hope that Beth could be much more than his good luck charm.

My Thoughts:
I thought this was going to be a sappy love story, but it really was great! When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was at the movies with my sister and we were like: "OMG! Who's that guy? Oh wow, dude, I think that's Zac Efron. No way! It can't be! Oh my god, it totally is. Man! He really grew up!" Haha. Our conversation really did go just like that. So I was excited when I finally got to watch it!

And he was really hot in this movie. He looked really cute as a soldier. And their sex scene was like wow! I didn't know he had it in him. Other than that it was a cute and really good story. It wasn't really deep. It had to do with war and her brother. Along with a little bit of her crazy ex husband thrown in. It's definitely a chick flick and I think most girls/women would love it!

My Thoughts:
I thought this movie was completely adorable! Surprisingly I haven't read the book, but I do have a lot of Dr. Seuss books. And honestly, I didn't know the story of The Lorax, but it was really cute. I think even adults would love this movie, because I did. I got it because of my son, and I thought he would want to watch it, but I ended up watching it by myself while he was at school one day. He said "awww mom, I wanted to watch it!" So it looks like I'll be watching it again.

I haven't seen the other recent Dr. Seuss movies. Like Horton Hears a Who or The Cat in the Hat, but that's on my never ending list. I did like How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Just because it was Dr. Seuss I knew it would be good, because you can't mess up Dr. Seuss' stories! They're too good for that. So I say watch it!
