Disappointment...

Rating: 3/10 (17 August 2010)

I read the book first and it was OK for the summer evening reading. I read Miley Cyrus played the main character in the movie. I had never seen her playing before, but I thought, Ronnie could kinda looked like her - why not...
As soon as the movie started, I got so disappointed by her acting. I just could not believe her playing it. I could not believe her lips, her crying, her emotions. Nothing. The only thing I appreciated was the way she looked in the movie - that could be Ronnie :) and Miley's song at the end of the movie. That was nice.
However, the very first scene with Ronnie's brother - I was like, yes! this little one is exactly like in the book. I think, Ronnie's father was OK and Will, well he was OK. Did not have much to say in the movie. But I could believe the actor.
The movie was in many ways different from the book, but I didn't mind it.
All in all, I am happy to have read the book but I could do well without seeing the movie...
