I don't understand the poor reviews... I like it a lot!

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2012)

I don't understand the terrible reviews and score this movie received! There are some downfalls to the movie, sure, but I think most people are rating this movie poor because it stars Miley Cyrus. I agree that another stronger actor should have been used in the role. In some of her scenes, Miley looks perplexed, confused, and she mostly overacts or underacts. Some of her "serious" scenes are laughable which can be distracting.
Mostly, however, the film is extremely moving, especially after you find out the father is sick... I watched this with my own father and he had tears in his eyes, and I cried on several occasions.
PLEASE don't let the lead actress lessen your view of the film, although her performance is a large part of what makes or breaks the movie. The movie also has some great heartfelt moments, especially between the family (little brother, father, Miley), and also between boyfriend and girlfriend (Liam Hemsworth and Miley).
I voted The Last Song as a 10/10 in order to *hopefully* boost its overall score on here, though realistically I would give it a 7 or 8.
