One Word: AWESOME!

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2010)

As an eighteen year old girl, I am in the target demographic for the book and movie of The Last Song. I think that the opinion of Miley Cyrus here is a 50/50. Some hate her while others love her. I'd tend to fall into the latter category. I can't believe the crux of hate reviews are about how Miley can't act or just general "Miley shouldn't of played the role of Ronnie" comments. Just so all those reviewers who wrote that know this: Nicholas Sparks WROTE the character of Ronnie FOR Miley.
Anyway since I'm one of those people that likes to see the real portrayal of a character from book to screen I COULDN'T wait to see it and after it was over see it again (I'm going w/ one of my BFFs to see today even though I'd seen it yesterday. I'd have to say the scene they let the baby turtles go was sweet. I think the portrayal of Ronnie was spot-on because that's pretty much how she acts in the beginning of the book. Another thing was the portrayal of Will's mom. In the book,she was really snobby and didn't approve of Ronnie, but in the movie, it was the TOTAL opposite. Overall, The Last Song was a good breakout role for Miley. Liam was for lack of a better word, perfect as Will. It didn't hurt that he looks good shirtless. The only thing that surprised me was that the whole Blaze getting caught on fire part didn't happen. It was a pretty big part of the book. Marcus was how I thought of him in my head. Bobby Coleman (Jonah) was hilarious! I'm SO getting it when it's out on DVD.
