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.
