I cried like a baby!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2010)

I'm so sick of reading bad reviews of Miley Cyrus' new movie, 'The Last Song'.
Before seeing the movie I'd only ever seen Miley in her Hannah Montana / Miley Stewart role and thought she was funny but never had any strong opinion on her until I saw this movie. I loved it! After seeing the movie I spent that weekend reading Miley's biography of her life to date and now have much more respect for her and understand her way better as a person. She is much more mature than everyone thinks she is. If you read her book I think you would see that.
I think her maturity shines through so much in this movie no matter what everyone has said. How can you not watch this and then watch Hannah Montana and see a difference? It takes a lot for an actor or actress to be able to pull off children's comedy and drama as well. And when I say drama, I mean it! I cried like a baby the whole way through the second half of the movie and that sort of emotion totally comes from the acting. I felt an emotional connection to the character, especially Miley's character Ronnie and her Dad during the hard times. I thought they were great and the father / daughter relationship was so believable. And of course so was relationship between Ronnie and Will. Miley and Liam have amazing chemistry and yeah, it was cheesy in parts but it was a drama / romance so of course it was going to be. I loved it.
I think too many people have just gone into this movie hating on Miley Cyrus or better yet, refusing to dive into the story because she is in it - that is after all, what films are there for, as an escape from reality or what is real. If you sat in the theatre and stopped being so macho I guarantee you would cry, or at least tear up a little!
I look forward to seeing Miley Cyrus in many more movies to come. She's great!
