Nice effects though.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The main character of this story is a girl. I think this story indicates girl at puberty very well. A lot of girls may sympathize with main character. Girls at puberty have a lot of troubles. Sometimes they consider about their love, sometimes they consider about their family. The main character of this movie, a girl also think about family and her love. Her father is divorced from her mother. The girl defies her parents. Then, she meets a good boy. However she quarrels with the boy over some problems. I think some girls at puberty defy their parents for a while and some girls quarrel with their boyfriend. This movie indicates girl at puberty very well. A lot of girls' feeling is so dedicate. The audience can see the girl's feeling. I can sympathize with main character. However there is not big wave in the story. Therefore this story may be difficult for some kids.

'The Last Song' is another Nicholas Sparks adaption and one of the weaker ones. It's also been aimed at the teen angst audience with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth as the romantic leads. On that note I guess if I was 20-ish years younger I would have enjoyed it more than I did.The story is predictable and heart-wrenching, because well, Nicholas Sparks wrote it and he loves to torture us, following a father and daughter who after a long estrangement slowly reconnect over a summer in a small Southern beach town through their mutual love of music.Cyrus plays the bitter wild-child Ronnie who falls for the often shirtless but very employable Will. They both have a lot of secrets and struggle to carry this movie as newbie actors. Miley giggles and squeals her way through the romance while Liam just stands about looking good.I did enjoy Greg Kinnear as the doomed father and the boy playing his son was like a breathe of fresh air. As with all of Sparks' movies the coastal scenery is beautiful and the storyline about forgiveness, acceptance and family shamelessly manipulative but oh so addictive. 2/14/16

"The Last Song" is a 107-minute movie from 5 years ago directed by Julie Anne Robinson. It was the first of so far 2 writing efforts by Jeff Van Wie when he adapted the Nicholas Sparks novel for the screen. I loved "A Walk to Remember", I liked "The Notebook" and I have always been a fan of Miley Cyrus, so i was pretty curious about it. My hopes were smashed pretty quickly though. This was a disappointing movie. Cyrus plays her part solid and same goes for Kinnear, but most of the cast are really not good. However, the worst thing about this film is the script. It is packed with enough drama and tragedy for 3 films and at some point, it just stops feeling authentic: Hemsworth's brother, the protagonist's father, the arson plot, Chaikin's character etc. And what was up with that raccoon-turtle story on the beach? I guess that is supposed to be a metaphor on children who want to live after their parents left them alone? It's very pretentious and hey raccoons have to feed their kids too.One of the worst moments was surely when Hemsworth's character actually turns out to work for the aquarium. Talk about really cheesy and unrealistic coincidence. And sadly, the whole love story did not feel too authentic either, especially when they meet and are not a couple yet. It's not romantic, it is really just cringeworthy. This is particularly disappointing as Cyrus and Hemsworth were a couple for a very long time and they certainly could have made something better with their chemistry. And finally, this movie lacks the great music from other Miley Cyrus works in the past, especially the marvelous "Hanna Montana" movie. This will not destroy my appreciation for her as I don't think her performance wasn't bad in "The Last Song", but the movie crumbled around her. Looking forward to her next projects, which will hopefully be better.

I honestly don't get all the bad reviews on this movie. I saw it twice and bawled my eyes out both times. Maybe Miley isn't the best actress in the world to play such a dramatic part, but I think she did a nice job. Instead of being negative, let's sum up all the good things about this movie. The story is very moving and touching and will definitely make you cry, the chemistry between Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus is beautiful, the soundtrack is gorgeous and the performance of young Bobby Coleman is exceptional! He deserves so much credit for this part! All together, it's sad to see that the ratings are so bad. It will keep people from watching which is such a shame since this movie is really worth watching.
