Sappy Cyrus vehicle

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2011)

Miley Cyrus takes on her first dramatic role and like most of this film's critics, I rolled my eyes. However, she was not bad and neither was Kinnear in his part. The flaw of the storytelling lies in Nicholas Sparks's atrociously sentimental and conventional writing. Nothing here is original and the ending is as sappy as always. Yet this is a lot better than the last Sparks film adaptation, Dear John. I could not sit through that idiot piece. This is much better than that and is more watchable, but it still is nothing that cannot be missed in the long run. The beaches are nice to look at and are more compelling than the story we are watching.
