The Last Song Blu-Ray + DVD Combo Review

The Last Song Blu-Ray + DVD Combo Review




Synopsis: Miley Cyrus shines as the star of this heartwarming coming-of-age movie that will strike your emotional chords. Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks (Dear John, The Notebook), The Last Song follows Ronnie (Cyrus) and her estranged father as he tries to restore the loving relationship they once had. But reconnecting with his rebellious daughter isn’t easy, so he chooses the one thing they still have in common — music. Complete with not-to-be-missed bonus features — the Miley Cyrus music video “When I Look At You,” exclusive interviews with the actress and more — this uplifting and touching drama about family, first loves and second chances is a heartfelt story to you won’t soon forget.


Review: This new film is another romantic tearjerker from Nicholas Sparks, who wrote the Notebook and Dear John.   We see Miley Cyrus in an uncharacteristic role as a down teenager that has issues with her father.  Quite the opposite of Hannah Montana.    The film is actually very enjoyable and well-written, but the end does have some tragedy.  Overall, its a great movie, definately one to watch with your sweetheart.  You could also share it with your teenager, as there is a strong 'coming of age' angle to the story, as well.
