Cliché ridden badly directed from Disney( Touchstone)

Rating: 3/10 (27 September 2010)

This is another BAD film from Touchstone. Apparently the magic that was Disney is no more. The screenplay for this mess was written by Nicholas Sparks, He wrote the novel after he did the screenplay,Hopefully he omitted all the clichés that are in the movie.
It seems that most films from this once great studio are now cliché ridden,there are scenes after scenes that we all have seen too many times.
This in itself is not that great a sin as many films have an overabundance of clichés.
What does this in is the acting & direction. Julie Anne Robinson did not do a good job at the helm.
Miley Cyrus is the star, besides the fact she cannot act, she is very unappealing, she shows no screen presence at all. Greg Kinneer tries to give a credible performance.as her father. Liam Hemsworth is the romantic lead opposite Miley,He at least is good looking& tries hard. Bobby Colemanas the typical younger brother is near perfect.
There are many songs in the film,NONE done live,Miley is supposed to be a singer I do not know what if any songs she sang, nor do I care.
Nice scenery of the coast in Georgia.
It is not even worthwhile as a rental.
