THE LAST SONG RATING PROFESSIONAL

Ronnie and her object, Will (Liam Hemsworth) meet very cute on the beach, when he slams into her and knocks her strawberry milkshake all over her t-shirt. The route to this recovery has to do with dad, of course, but it also has to do with an eye-opening, grandly passionate romance, rendered in. (When she does play the piano - as she must - Ronnie’s hands are never in the same shot as her swaying body or impassioned face, suggesting that Cyrus never quite mastered the instrument for this part.) Ronnie’s refusal to play is apparently a loss to mankind, though her dad tends to point out her self-inflicted suffering sans music. A childhood prodigy who spent long hours playing piano with her songwriter/artist father, Ronnie now refuses even to touch the keys, much less go to Juilliard, where she has been accepted despite her recent best efforts to sabotage her grades. Not only does this plot point lead directly to the film’s excruciating title (see also: that inevitable death of a loved one), but it also shows just how angry she is, that she would cut off her nose, as it were, to spite her face. But the primary sign of her pain is more particular, that is, her decision to stop playing piano. Ronnie’s glowering and slouching are standard signs of her adolescent displeasure, as is her arrest for shoplifting (this last making her now “untrustworthy” in her parents’ eyes). She’s just damaged by her parents’ divorce, disappointed by broken promises, and unable to tolerate adults’ foibles. Not understanding how he could have walked out on the family, she’s not inclined to hear how he and Kim learned the hard way that sometimes, “love isn’t enough.” (It’s just as well this backstory stops here, with this treacly bit of explanation.) Ronnie isn’t actually mean, of course, or even selfish per se. Ronnie’s mad at lots of things, apparently, but most immediately her father’s absence. ‘”Promise me you’ll make an effort,” says mom as she drops off the kids. More specifically, they’re headed for a summer’s visit with their estranged father Steve (Greg Kinnear), who lives in a perfect cottage on the sunny shore in Georgia.

THE LAST SONG RATING MOVIE

As the movie begins, Ronnie’s mother Kim (Kelly Preston) is driving her and adorable little brother Jonah (Bobby Coleman) to the beach. In this version, Cyrus plays Ronnie, a teenager who performs her rebellious misery by wearing black lace-up boots, torn pantyhose, and blue fingernails. But based on the evidence of this film, it needs more serious deliberation.Ĭyrus has a number of obstacles to overcome here, not least being Sparks’ grinding story formula, in which lonely, wounded, and definitively pretty people meet on a beach, discover true love and endure a life-changing death.

This seems a sound professional move (no one can be Hannah Montana forever, after all). Word is that Nicholas Sparks wrote The Last Song for Miley Cyrus - who is really, really serious about quitting music to pursue a career in movies.
