If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

In reality I would probably give this movie a 7, but I'm giving it a 10 to attempt and bring up its score because everyone giving it a 1-3 rating has only cited how Miley is a bad actress who need to give up. Just stop. This movie had some good performances, great character chemistry and a tear jerking story. If you CAN'T feel something during the scene where she finally finishes her Dad's song and it's the last thing he gets to hear before he dies, you have no heart. The songs are great. The messages were great. Yes it's a sappy-chick-flick-romance-tragedy-drama and I know you have to be in the mood for those things. But it's got a great 3 act structure, stayed turned in for it and you won't be dissatisfied.

Just as Zac Efron did with films such as 'Me and Orson Welles', fellow teen star Miley Cyrus uses 'The Last Song' as a bridge between Disney kiddie films to adult roles.And while this is admirable I think the fact that she teamed up with Nicholas Sparks, a man who seems quite happy to repeat his 'Notebook' trick for as long as the public can stomach it, for this film.It's sappy, it's overly sentimental, and overall despite the best efforts of Cryrus, this film isn't that good.Cyrus does well in her role, and holds it all together well, but I don't think this was the best choice of project.

This film tells the story of a teenage girl and her brother, who are forced to spend the summer with their father in a southern seaside town. She meets a charming guy and falls for him, but unfortunately life gets in the way."The Last Song" is quite a weak Nicholas Sparks story because it cannot decide what it wants to be. Is it a romantic story between two teenagers, or a drama about an estranged father and daughter relationship? The first half is the former while the second half is the latter. The film appears to be a forced hybrid between the two, and is not helped by the constantly grumpy Miley Cyrus. She and Liam Hemsworth don't even look right together for this film. Fortunately Greg Kinnear is very good as the father who has a secret he can't tell anyone, which saves the film a bit.

The last song is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It was directed by Julie Anne Robinson and the principal characters, Ronnie and Will are played by Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. It takes place in a small coastal town in southern United States, where an estranged father sets out to spend the summer with a reluctant teenage daughter, who prefers to stay at home in New York. The father tries to reconnect with his daughter through all they have in common, music. It is a story of family, friendship, secrets, forgiveness, second chances and first loves. It is a really predictable movie, with a nice story, where we can appreciate the evolution of the main character, it isn't just about a romantic story, it is a dramatic story linked with a love story. It is totally a movie for teenage girls, especially the ones who love to cry.
