The last time I checked myself, I was never really a sentimental fool or someone who loves to cry while watching a movie. I admit that when I was younger, I use to cry over some Filipino dramatic movies though. And, I was never really a big fun of Miley Cyrus. No offense meant though but I like how she acted on the movie that I have just finished watching, "The Last Song". She was not the typical teeny-idol Miley who plays the role Ronnie (short for Veronica) and the theme was more mature for her than her previous roles on TV and movies.
Plus one thing that give me the focus to watch it was because it is another Nicholas Sparks story-based movie whom we all know he is good with tragical love and family stories.
The thing is, I have bought this DVD last year and it was on my collection for months now and I never had the chance too watch it so soon as my mind tells me that it would be another Miley teeny-moive. But I was wrong.
Nicholas Sparks is known for some books that were featured in the big screen. Among were "A Walk To Remember" that starred Mandy Moore and Shane West which was another tragical love story. His book "Message In A Bottle" starring Meg Ryan and Bruce Willis were also turned into film and that was really one great love story which started from a message in a bottle thrown and floating in the sea and was handed to someone who was curious whom the message was from.
For this movie though, "The Last Song", it was about family ties, friendship and love in one thus making the story something that everybody can relate to. I was touched by the movie honestly speaking. If I only knew that it was a good movie, I should have watched it a lot of times now and I will do that.
One more thing that had made my eyes stuck to the movie were the good actors playing the important roles. The child in the right is Bobby Coleman, one good child actor who has played the sister of Ronnie (Miley) and I would say that he was so touching and he wholeheartedly shared his piece of acting and making it like something real. Gees. This kid is a whiz in the drama scenes. I salute his best acting in the movie.
Well, veteran actor Greg Kinnear has always been one of my favorite actors. He is good with this genre of movie as well as suspense. His superb role in the movie was acting as the father of Ronnie and all he wanted was to see his children before he dies as he was diagnosed with cancer and that his life is soon to lapse. His kids later knew this situation and has made some emotional changes for both Ronnie and Jonah (played by Miley and Bobby). What i liked with him is that he is acting naturally and with just facial expression you can read what he is trying to say before he could say it.
Kelly Preston has always been a pretty face in the camera. Despite of the cameo role (co'z she has only done few scenes), she has never fade. She has always been a good actress and I just can't take my eyes away from here face when the camera takes a face shot on her. Stunning lady and non-aging. Always have been acting as mother's of teen actresses (remember her movie with Amanda Bynes, "What A Girl Wants"?) Damn! I will always love this Kelly Preston woman.
Have watch Liam Hemsworth movies before but I guess I need to watch more of his movies. In "The Last Song", he might have played one great role but it was just to light that he was not able to give his best I guess. So far though, he was perfect for a low-profile rich son in the movie. I guess he would do more light drama and chick flicks and everybody would love him especially the ladies.
And then came Miley Cyrus, the main character of the movie. I hope she would get more mature roles again in her next movies co'z she is not getting any younger. The character fits her in the movie and it was a more mature Miley that I saw.
For a scale of 10, 10 as the highest, I would say the movie sits at 8. Despite of being a light drama, love story, their approach abut family values has always been one turning point to realize after watching he movie.
