Memorable, crazy movie
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.

View MoreRonnie and her younger brother Noah are sent to spend summer with their Dad. Trouble is that Ronnie is still furious at him over the parental split, and is the archetypical disaffected teen. Factor in bad influence local teens, local beach volleyball hunk with rich parents, neglected piano scholarship, and you have all the elements of a tried and tested young romance formula. When you factor in turtle babies, deadly illness, and stained glass windows (yes, there was a reason for that church fire at the start), and you have a formulaic teen romance with some weird stuff in it.Miley Cyrus does sulky bad-tempered teen, then executes a 180 degree turn and does smiley happy teen in a movie which saw the start of the off-screen romance with Liam Hemsworth, here executing the teen hunk boyfriend role. Greg Kinnear is likeable as Dad.This film is nowhere near as bad as some of the revews on IMDB make out, but it contains no surprises whatsoever. Apart from turtles.
View MoreIt's amazing and a great movie based off of an even greater book!!
View More'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
View MoreWhen you have Nicholas Spark's credibility to a film, next moment is to get romantic and feel the love and tenderness after watching his novel- turned-into-a-film. The Last Song , however, will spoil the mood A moody girl is forced to stay with her father after her parents got divorced sometime back during one summer in Southern Beach where she finds new love and also re-kindles her affection towards her father.The Last Song was a complete letdown to Nicholas Spark's esteemed novel thanks to over-top-acting by Miley Cyrus, terrible screenplay and poor direction. Frankly speaking , if you have high hopes pinned down on this film , you will be thoroughly disappointed with the pace of the film. It is difficult to find any good scene from the film and that is what will end my review here.Overall , a very bad film in all the context. You might want to switch over other Spark's romantic based films like Notebook , The Lucky One, The Safe Haven for better watching . Poor 1/5
