The Last Song
Review: 3.5 Stars Rated: PG
Based on best selling novelist Nicholas Sparks’ A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, and now the latest novel The Last Song is brought to the big screen and directed by Julie Anne Robinson
Plot: Set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenaged daughter (Miley Cyrus), who’d rather be home in New York. Her dad tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common, music.
Did It Suck? If you liked any of the movies based on the books by the same author then you’ll most definitely enjoy The Last Song.
Going into the theatre knowing the type of movie it was, and having read the book, I was not disappointed. Miley Cyrus was a great choice for this roll as she suited her character well, making it believable, and she seems able to move forward from the “Hannah Montana” star we know from the past.
The story line differed from the book in some areas, but made little impact with the few changes. I really applaud the character development and was pleasantly suprised with the caliber of acting for a fairly low budget feature film. All in all, it was a warm hearted, tear jerker, tacky love story that kept true to the story line.
Final verdict .. Although most of the critics are rating this film very low It’s still worth a girls night out, however, if you’re on your own it’s better watched at home! Mostly Worth a Ticket.
