Wake up, Miley

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2014)

I like romances and tear-jerkers but this one didn't do it for me. Along with Miley Cyrus' mediocre acting, there were little things here and there that distracted me from getting into the movie.
For instance, everybody knows that it's OK to jump into an aquarium and swim with the fish. And the saving-the-baby-turtle scenes just made me think of how 85% are destined to be eaten.
And the vegetarian thing.....
And of course a little kid can master the art of stain glass and finish a window for a church in a week or two.
And everybody knows that the way to win over a guy is be hostile and obnoxious and reject all his advances.
And Will gets the brother some cookies and milk at the hospital and something happens and they walk away and leave it.
And when you get stuck in the mud, it's a real hoot, isn't it? Throwing mud all around is the best response. And then later you're magically unstuck.
ah well...I did get a little teary at the father-daughter parts near the end. The four stars are for Greg Kinnear.
