The Last Song

The Last Song is 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. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common—music—in a story of family, friendship, secrets and salvation, along with first loves and second chances.


This is nothing more than your generic tear jerker. Its got all the usual Nicolas Sparks stuff. Two youngsters fall in love. There's a beach. Someone dies. Its really not much different from his other movies except for that whole Miley Cyrus playing something other than herself or Hannah Montana. She wasn't outright horrible. She wasn't too great either. The movie and her performance in it were just kind of there.


I wouldn't recommend that anyone blindly go running out for this bad boy. Teenage girls and Nicolas Sparks fans are going to flock to it regardless I'm sure, but the rest of us could pretty much just wait for cable.
