The Last Song

Plot:Ronnie (Miley Cyrus) is a 18 year old girl from New York who has had some bad luck with the crime ever since her parents divorce, therefore making her rebel. She is angry with her parents. But one summer her mum sends her and her brother Jonah away to live with their father. Ronnie hates it, she doesn't fit in. But that is until she meets Will, a popular mechanic, who shows her how to love, not just him, but her family, life, and the people in it.

Effects: The start scene was fantastic, there was a fire and dramatics, along with the music it relates to a whole story. There is a part where Ronnie chose out dresses for a wedding with her brother and is one of those typical scenes where the girl goes and poses in all different dresses, a cliche, but still a lot of fun for the viewer.

Soundtrack: The soundtrack is great, some great oldies in there, like 'She Will Be Loved' By Maroon 5. I love that song, and it was great scene when both characters were singing it. The end song was great, the composer did a great job interpreting the song for the book. Overall a great soundtrack.

Reality or just plain fiction?: Its a Nicholas Sparks book in a movie, what do you expect, I had tears running down, the movie was heartfelt and being a fan of the book it was the most true you could get, its great and one of the only films I have seen that is the most true to the book after Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone. The meaning was that no matter what you should look after your family and care for them no matter what, and that its ok to love, its not a crime. It wasn't realistic but these things can happen.

Rating: 3 1/2 stars, it was good, but a bit cheesy, Liam Hemsworth, who plays Will was a bit dull and did a horrible American accent. The kid who played Jonah brought me to tears when he cried, definitely my favourite character.
