As well she refuses to be involved in stealing from a street vendor. Given a chance to consume alcohol at a late night make out session on the beach, Ronnie rejects both alcohol and some advances from an inebriated partygoer. On the other hand, Ronnie makes a few good decisions that most parents will appreciate while watching this film with their preteens. Her ever-changing attitudes make it difficult to feel any real affection for the troubled teen. But the rest of the film is spent watching Ronnie boomerang between professions of love and loathing for the young man. Eventually he wears her down with a long and lingering kiss on the beach. Undeterred by her rudeness, Will continues to try and engage the glowering girl every time he sees her in the small town. Maintaining the same “I’ll forgive when I am ready” attitude that she uses with her parents, Ronnie refuses to graciously accept his apology. While she is pushing through the throng at a shoreline carnival, Will Blakelee (Liam Hemsworth) unintentionally bowls her over during a beach volleyball game. Even though she has exceptional talent and years of musical training, she also punishes her mom and dad by refusing to sit down at the piano or accept an invitation to Julliard.Īfter arriving on Tybee Island, Ronnie has an accidental run-in with one of the local boys. While I can think of worse places to be dumped, Ronnie is still seething over her parents’ divorce and appears to want some kind of blood sacrifice to atone for their decision to separate.
Forced in the back seat of her mother’s (Kelly Preston) SUV, she and her little brother Jonah (played by Coleman) are hauled off to spend the summer with their estranged father (Greg Kinnear) in a Georgia beach town. In the story, Ronnie is a defiant, sulking teen who wears a scowl that would scare off a pit bull. Thankfully, Miley’s younger costar, Bobby Coleman, puts in several emotionally touching performances that help redeem the script. Just like Hannah, her character Ronnie in The Last Song is either cheerful, cheerless or cheesed off, and it is usually the latter. While this works for the show’s target audience, it never allowed Miley to practice portraying more subtle or complex feeling. Learning her trade on the preteen sitcom Hannah Montana required nothing more than a limited number of exaggerated emotions, namely sad, happy, angry. It takes some consummate acting skills to give life to these clumsy lines and regrettably Miley Cyrus is not a consummate actress-at least not yet. Unfortunately too many of the scenes in this adaptation suffer from awkward or unbelievable dialogue and others, which appear to have some potential, are shoved on the screen and then yanked off before the characters or circumstances have time to develop. Other audience members, however, may be less than smitten with the The Last Song.ĭespite the number of Nicholas Sparks’ novels that have been tailored for the big screen, this is the first time the author has penned the screenplay as well. Miley Cyrus fans will likely weep their way through this teen tearjerker.
