Start rating this movie properly

Rating: 6/10 (5 September 2010)

Usually you're really disappointed when you watch a movie, that's based on a book. I read the Last Song before I saw the movie, and when I heard that Miley Cyrus was going to play Ronnie Miller in the movie-production, I was officially mad.
Therefore I chose not to see the movie, directly I judged that the movie would suck! Basically! I read then the book again, on my way over to USA, and I remembered that there actually was a movie, so I decided that once I'd hit Blockbuster I would rent it.
So I and my friends rented it, and I'd told myself to have no expectations at all, since it was a Miley Cyrus movie aka. Hannah Montana.
But the movie completely surprised me. Miley Cyrus didn't shine in this movie, in fact nobody shined – but there was still something to it. It followed the book so well, like really well – and Miley Cyrus looked like Ronnie.
You can say a lot about the acting, you can say that Miley sometimes sounded a little too Hannah Montana-ish, but I think she broke pretty much out of that shell, or at least she tried.
I have to disagree with all the people who think it's flat? What exactly - This is when I start thinking: I think a lot of people judged this movie by the fact that Miley Cyrus plays the lead role, if it had been Emma Roberts or Emily Browning, I think this movie would have gotten a totally different ratings. I cried, I laughed and I loved some parts of this movie. But it's not a Notebook ..
