The Last Song

I saw this movie today with my friend Elyse. Yes, we are Miley Cyrus fans. I know we’re cheesy but oh well. This is a movie based off of a Nicholas Sparks book. (He wrote “The Notebook”, and “A Walk to remember”)

Anyways this is a “coming-of age” movie about a summer that changed a young girls life forever.

Miley Cyrus portrays the rebellious/free spirited teenager Veronica “Ronnie” Miller. Who reluctantly is forced to spend the summer with her estranged father, Steve as well as her younger brother who is more than excited to spend time with their father.. Her father is a former Julliard Professor who taught Ronnie at a young age to play the piano. Ronnie became a childhood prodigy and was even offered a scholarship to Julliard as well. But since her parents divorce she becomes bitter and doesn’t want to play the piano anymore and hadn’t since.

During the course of the summer Ronnie meets a handsome local boy named Will Blaklee. And after a few not so harmonious meetings Will and Ronnie start to become fond of each other. Mostly due to the fact that Will works at a local aquarium and Ronnie took it upon her self to protect some Loggerhead sea turtles eggs from raccoons. Ronnie and Will have a up and down relationship as at first Will’s parents (who are quite wealthy) don’t approve of their relationship and Will’s ex-girlfriend becomes jealous of Ronnie and Will’s relationship.


Eventually Ronnie and her father start to make amends, and rebuild their relationship and Ronnie starts to play the piano again with some encouragement from Will and her father. But when her father falls ill the rest of her summer and her life changes forever.


This movie hasn’t been getting the best reviews from critics but I thought it was a cute movie and if you are a Miley Cyrus fan I would recommend seeing it. Also if you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks books.

Rated PG
