Corny, but occasionally cute

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2011)

The Last Song is intended for a very particular age group, and I am not among them. Annoying though it can be for corniness and underwriting, The Last Song doesn't end up being a terrible movie. At times it can be cute, but it takes a while to get to that part.
The Last Song falls into a number of melodramatic traps, one of which is the 'break up make up' phase which happens one too many times here, leaving The Last Song a bit difficult to take seriously.
The film kind of bounces back and forth with tones, while following a familiar teen romance structure. Needless to say this is not an adult movie, but it might be better for the kids (just not the little ones)
