Insulting

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2010)

I must say that I might not be objective about this movie. First, I hate Miley Cyrus. She always had the same face whenever there was an emotional moment. You couldn't see any difference in her reaction whether when she learnt about her dad and when she fought with Will. It was the same face. The girl has a nice voice, but no acting skills. She should stick to her Hannah Montana character. Second, I lived a very similar situation in the last year. My Dad had cancer for 7 years, but his state started crashing in September 2009. My Mom was working 80hrs\week, 6 days a week. So, during the day, I had to take care of my dying father for six months and still go to school. I had to drop out of school in the end. I saw this movie the week following his funerals. I cried a lot, I have to admit it, but I was even more angry. Saying the screenplay was awful is an understatement! They didn't do any research at ALL! It's insulting for anyone who had lived at home with someone sick. They made it look sad, true, but taking care of terminally-ill person is hard physically, emotionally and psychologically. You have to help the person doing as simple things as taking a shower, going to the bathroom, eating. In the end, they're not there at all most of the time. A teenage girl couldn't have done it so easily, believe me. I'm 19, and I thank God everyday I had my mom and a nurse to help me through this. Mr.Sparks, next time you write a novel/screenplay, make sure you really know what you're talking about.
