THE LAST SONG *

Julie Anne Robinson directed this.Drama featuring: Miley Cyrus, Bobby Coleman, Liam Hemsworth, Hallock Beals, Nick Lashaway, Carly Chaikin, Nick Searcy, Kate Vernon, Kelly Preston, Greg Kinnear. Watch Preview   Rated PG for thematic material, some violence, sensuality and mild language.Running time is one hour and forty-seven minutes.

Based on best-selling novelist Nicholas Sparks' novel, "The Last Song" is set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenaged daughter (Miley Cyrus), who'd rather be home in New York.

This will probably open well due to the teenage female audience it will attract. But the older you are, the sillier and stupider this film will seem. The plot never rings true and is about as emotionally manipulative as any I've seen in a long time. Compound that with the fact Cyrus is nowhere close to being a competent, believable actress and you get what was for me almost two hours of tedium. The boy who plays her brother, Coleman; her real life boyfriend as well as screen boyfriend, Hemsworth; and especially Kinnear, can simply act circles around her. There's nothing offensive in this film except for Cyrus' acting, but adults are going to find this a poor entertainment investment. See It Here.
