Good

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2010)

Before watching this film I had heard mixed reviews about it. When it first came out in theaters I was hearing how terrible it was and not to waist my money. I have never read the book, though my girl friend has, and she considers it her favorite book of all time. Because of this I was expecting the movie to be fairly good, I enjoy all types of genres so a chick flick doesn't bother me. I never got around to seeing this picture in the theaters and ended up renting it. After trying relentlessly to find it, I was finally able to sit down and watch it. I agree with others who say that the story seems a bit rushed, as the viewer you are thrown into a situation without much warning, and it barely has enough length in the scene to make you, the viewer, feel what the characters are feeling. I had heard from others that Miley Cyrus had done a terrible acting job. I disagree with this, I didn't feel as if I was watching a musician try to act, she came across confident and believable. All and all this was a good movie, and by the time it was all said and done my girl friend was in tears, I would watch this movie again.
