  2. Apr 2, 2019 · There are three things Nicholas Sparks knows how to do exceptionally well when it comes to storytelling: stir up emotions, set a beautiful scene, and crush readers' spirits as soon as they become invested in the characters.

    • The Choice (2016) A more recent — and perhaps, the most forgettable — film in the Sparks oeuvre, "The Choice" cast Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer as its leading lovers, telling the tale of a complicated love triangle between two neighbors (Walker and Palmer) and the woman's current boyfriend (Tom Welling), as an irresistible attraction threatens to ruin the lives of all involved.
    • Safe Haven (2013) Nicholas Sparks films have long been the access point for stars looking to establish a cinematic foothold, and "Safe Haven" was part of a Hollywood blitzkrieg lunched by "Dancing With the Stars" vet Hough — who made the Christina Aguilera/Cher film "Burlesque," the "Footloose" remake, the Tom Cruise dud "Rock of Ages" and this film all in the span of about three years, but hasn't done much film since.
    • The Last Song (2010) When it came time for Miley Cyrus to make her live action film debut, and take on her first real adult role, she followed the Mandy Moore blueprint with this installment of the Sparks cinematic universe, alongside Liam Hemsworth (who she would later marry in real life) — also, at the time, taking on the most sizable role of his career.
    • The Lucky One (2012) Another Sparks movie about a military veteran, "The Lucky One" is focused on a U.S. Marine named Logan Thibault (played by Zac Efron) who finds a photograph of a woman while serving in Iraq.

We are presented with flashbacks of their love story as t...

    As with many of his stories, ‘The Choice’ sets once again two characters in a warm neighborhood of the sunny South where tragedy and love will cross their paths and bring them together through typical and repeated romanticism. Not that it can’t be entertaining to those who enjoy this style of cinematic experiences but its lack of originality shows ...

    For all the Zack Efron fans, here’s the movie to watch as he portrays a US Marine serving in Iraq who finds a photograph of a beautiful blonde woman smiling and keeps it as his good luck charm. When he returns home, he makes it his mission to find the face who has unknowingly protected him. After finding her, Logan (Efron) and Beth (Taylor Schillin...

She is rebellious and stiff and starts off the holidays on the wrong foot. However, things turn brighter later on when she meets and falls in love with Will (Liam Hemsworth), a popular, handsome ...

    With a little more thrill and story depth (although the neighbor romance aspect remains), we have ‘Safe Haven,’ directed by Lasse Hallström, who has also made ‘Dear John.’ Here, we follow the story of a woman who nervously flees from her city and introduces herself as Katie (Julianne Hough) in a new small town. There, she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel),...

    In this romantic drama, we stumble upon Richard Gere and Diane Lane back together for their third collaboration. Their performances are great and help the flaws of the story construction seem less evident. The emotional connection the viewer is able to form with the characters and their sorrows and joys is stronger and more significant in this Spar...

    In The Longest Ride,’ we are presented with two parallel dramatic love stories, one from the present and one from the past, set 70 years ago. Luke (Scott Eastwood) and Sophia (Britt Robertson), two young people, have a “first-sight” experience and go on a date. On their way home, they rescue an old man stuck in his car after an accident, and while ...

    ‘Message In a Bottle’ is able to take us on a more serious and believable romance than most of Nicholas Sparks’ other novels and films. It is also a more beautiful and emotional plot that grabs the audience tighter and for longer. It’s about a woman (Robin Wright Penn) who finds a love letter inside a bottle, half buried in the sand, and is so stru...

    Welcome another coming-of-age romantic drama, highly predictable yet entertaining and heart-warming to watch.

    Nicholas Sparks often uses written letters as an important element in his stories, which we can again find in ‘Dear John,’ occupying a central part of the romance and its pulse to move forward. The performances are great, the plot is interesting and grabbing, and the likable characters transmit emotion and feeling. We certainly root for them, and i...
