The Last Song

Dear Paul Walker Look-Alike Liam Hemsworth,

 You will never look as good as Paul Walker with that perfect wavy hair, and you will never co-star alongside such american heroes as Vin Diesel, but unlike your twin you can actually act.  Is it the fact that your brother Chris Hemsworth [who will be THOR in next summers Marvel movie] got you this gig or you actually tried out and made the cut to play Miley Cyrus' love interest.  Either way good job, you made this movie a tad bit more enjoyable.  To bad the movie couldn't have been better so that your acting career would have started on a high note.  Oh well at least your good looking and 1000's of teenage girls already have a half naked poster of you in there bedroom.  K Later

Sincerely,

Look what can you expect from a movie starring Miley Cyrus, Executive produced by Tish Cyrus [Miley's Mom], Produced by Adam Shankman that guy from So You Think You Can Dance, and written by Nicolas Sparks [the sappy author who writes novels that all women love].  You can expect pretty much what you are thinking in your head.  Sparks may be a decent author, but writing a movie, and writing a book are 2 separate things.  The script for this movie was really really bad.  Now lets take the script out of the equation.  Lets talk acting.  Cyrus, not aweful.  Liam Hemsworth, decent needs a few more movies under his belt, Greg Kinnear, Steller performance.  The problem with putting a guy like Kinnear in this movie is that he makes everyone else look bad.

Ok so now to the plot.  This is a movie that continues to tug on your heart.  The movie wants its audience to cry, and to feel sad, but at a certain point you have let up.  Do you remember the ending to the 3rd lord of the rings?  You kept thinking it was over and then there was one more scene of the hobbits jumping on the bed, then another scene, then another scene.  Yeah thats how this movie ended up.  If you allow it this movie will rip your heart out.  Put it back together, rip your heart out again, put it back together, rip your heart again, but this time you are just pissed off at the movie, and tired of having you heart ripped out.  Here's what I say.  The movie is certainly not the worst Sparks Adaptation, but this is really a movie to see on DVD.

Its a great movie for a home Date Movie.  Besides the occasional bad language and a few shots of Miley Cyrus' cleavage the movie is pretty clean.  Great for a family movie night...once its out on DVD of course.  

Last thing I didn't like and then I will stop wasting your time.  I don't like how movies now a days talk about Divorce so lightly.  As if it is what it is.  Divorce needs to be portrayed exactly how it is in real life.  Not something super healthy and totally normal.  It's bogus to me, but hey that Hollywood, huh?

Anyways I give this movie a...
