Right Composition, Wrong Artists, Wrong Lyrics.

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2017)

The first thing that needs to be done is; getting rid of Miley Cyrus. I don't necessarily have a problem with her per se, it's just that, the role of Ronnie was way above her expertise. She just didn't do that character any justice whatsoever.
Secondly. Change the director and rework the script. Keep, but elevate Liam's performance, and Bobby Coleman (Jonah), either needs to go, or work hard at his overacting.
Thirdly. Keep Greg Kinnear. He could've been better, but was terrific and also, keep the deeper story.
All these changes, and a few more here and there, The Last Song is prime Oscar material.
A story wasted with clichés, overacting, somewhat choppy and unseasoned directing and a lead that just collapsed under what still wasn't, but could've been, dramatic art.
The story was on point, it just needed the right nurturing, alas.
