Interesting Movie, Really Rushed, Miley can(believe it or not) act,

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2010)

I just got back from watching the Last Song. It was an interesting movie. Honestly, it's kind of hard to critique, considering there wasn't much you could really "critique". The movie was all in all a typical drama/family/romance movie. There is no way this movie will ever win any awards, maybe a teen choice award or something, but it does offer something, and for me, that was entertainment. I'm a guy, and I have to admit, the movie made me laugh at times, and I even cracked a smile or two. Sometimes I laughed at the somewhat corny lines, okay really corny, and sometimes I laughed because I felt it was actually funny (and not in a bad way). It was a nice movie to look at, and sometimes that's really important. The acting, for the most part, being about 60%, was believable. It was by no means completely awful, like some movie critics are making it out to be. The story was really rushed though. That was the big problem for me. It needed to be more dragged out. But, hey, maybe that's what made it entertaining to watch.
People are saying that the first 30 minutes of this movie is embarrassing to watch. I thought it was my favorite part. The scenes I liked most in the movie were with Ronnie and her brother Jonah. I thought they connected more than Ronnie and Will. Ronnie and her dad were believable, but sometimes I felt it was pushed to be too lovey dovey.
Miley Cyrus. I'd give her performance a 7/10, just like this review. I thought she did a reasonable, if not satisfying job at making this movie worth watching. She definitely has acting abilities. Heck, I liked her. My prediction is that she'll get better over time in her acting. I'm not even going to compare her to her previous work. If this was her first movie ever, I'd say she did a good job. I'm sort of eager to see how she does in future movies.
The Last Song is a good movie, despite all the critical reviews. It has it's downfalls, but, it's still very watchable. I'd recommend seeing it.
