‘The Last Song’

The movie 'Last Song' starring Miley Cyrus

What It’s About: Based on best-selling novelist Nicholas Sparks’ (“A Walk to Remember,” “The Notebook”) 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 teenage daughter (Miley Cyrus), who’d rather be home in New York. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common — music. It also helps to have a hunky boy around for her.

It’s Kinda Like: ‘Dear John’ meets ‘Hannah Montana’

What We Say: Miley Cyrus and Nicholas Sparks fans will embrace this predictable teen soap opera that has all the pat tropes in the right place: Cyrus starts out as an alienated teenager who dislikes her father and, though a child prodigy, doesn’t want to attend Julliard; she meets a handsome young man in a cute way; falls in love; learns to understand her father; and even finds her way back to her music. What more could we ask for?

Blu-ray extras: Commentary, alternate opening, deleted scenes.

In a statement:

Due to the current flight restrictions over the UK we would like to inform you that Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth and Julie Anne Robinson will no longer be attending the European Charity Premiere of The Last Song in support of Great Ormond Street Children’s’ Hospital on Tuesday 20th April, 2010. This screening will still go ahead for ticket holders.

The problem is, volcanic ash can be considerably dangerous to airplanes. Volcanic ash is composed of tiny particles of rock and silica (glass) and if the ash gets into an airplane’s engine, it will destroy it within a matter of minutes. So, Miley being grounded in the States is for her own safety.

Directed by Julie Anne Robinson, the movie stars Miley Cyrus as a rebellious teenager forced to spend the summer at her dad’s beach home. I know it sounds like a “Life as a House” ripoff, and in my book, the movie is terrible. Still, it looks like it’s going to perform well enough this weekend.

Also doing well Wednesday was DreamWorks’ “How to Train Your Dragon,” which bagged another $4.5 million for a total haul of $57.8 million. Following in third place with $1.9 million was “Alice in Wonderland,” which generated $1.9 million for a domestic total of $299.4 million.

Synopsis:Seventeen-year-old Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father …until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer on Tybee Island with him. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts …and heal them.
