Cheesy? or Copied?
Now, let me explain from the very beginning that I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedies. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy these movies, i'm just saying that I get annoyed of them very quickly.
Take the most recent romantic comedy coming to theater's, "The Lucky One." Which is the story of U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault, who is in search of the woman who unknowingly saves his life. The Irony of this movie is that within weeks of lying to the woman who saved him, he's in love with her and his lie breaks them apart.
I know i'm not ruining anything for anyone. I've never read the book, i've only ever seen the preview. I actually have no desire to watch the movie either. It just seems too predictable for my taste. After seeing the majority of Nicholas Sparks films, I'd say almost all romantic story lines have been taken. Unfortunately, for a movie goer annoyed with copy cats, "The Lucky One" doesn't make my cut.
Nicholas Sparks books are predictable. Some people like that, others don't. It really depends on personal preference.
