A good attempt, but not a good film

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2017)

Just as Zac Efron did with films such as 'Me and Orson Welles', fellow teen star Miley Cyrus uses 'The Last Song' as a bridge between Disney kiddie films to adult roles.
And while this is admirable I think the fact that she teamed up with Nicholas Sparks, a man who seems quite happy to repeat his 'Notebook' trick for as long as the public can stomach it, for this film.
It's sappy, it's overly sentimental, and overall despite the best efforts of Cryrus, this film isn't that good.
Cyrus does well in her role, and holds it all together well, but I don't think this was the best choice of project.
