Continuing my streak of being lead reviewer for the bad movies means, of course, that Last Song was awful! Miley Cyrus, to no one’s surprise, cannot act. Apparently, neither can her love interest Liam Hemsworth. The fact that these two have developed a relationship outside of the movie just further proves the point that they have no comprehension of how to separate real life from acting (and visa versa).

The best parts of the movie come from Greg Kinnear, as the father, and his on-screen son, Bobby Coleman. The movie would’ve been much better if it focused on the father-son story, mostly because that is where the strong acting came from. It is sad to say that a seven-year-old beat out Miley’s acting abilities.

I admit I dragged Nic to Last Song against his will. I love Nicholas Sparks movies and the previews held so much promise for this movie. But, Nic was right! Last Song was not very good at all. There were sad scenes that made me cry, and the father-son story was good, but love story part of the movie was not working for me. Bad acting made the love story fall flat. I will think twice when Nic says to be wary of movies with tween pop stars turned actors.
