The Last Song.

I received a packaged yesterday from my family. There was candy and a beautiful card and a some birthday/Easter money. My roommates were planning on going to see the new movie "The Last Song" for one of my roommate's school assignments, so I used the money and got myself an early birthday present.

"The Last Song" is about a seventeen year old girl named Ronnie (aka Veronica) and her younger brother Jonah staying the summer at their dad's house in Georgia -and completely against her will (the brother's totally okay with it). The story is about how this small and broken family spend their summer while trying not to kill each other. From saving sea turtles, to picking friends, to dealing with all the curve balls life throws, this story does an excellent job at stealing your heart. No joke! All of my roommates (along with every girl in the theater) were balling their eyes out! I'm sure I would have too, it's just that I was pretty distracted by all the sniffling and blowing of noses that I didn't get too emotional. But really. Bring a tissue, or six.

The movie is PG (I think there are two curse words) and is based on the best selling book by Nicholas Sparks (who also wrote "A Walk to Remember" and "Dear John" and tons of others). Personally, I LOVED it! Excellent movie. Now, I know that there are tons of you out there that are really not big fans of Miley Cyrus and, occasionally, I'm one of those people. But in this movie I truly think she did a good job. Just disassociate Hannah Montana and every other Disney Channel run-in she's had and you're good. Overall, I'd give this movie an A-. It's good. You should watch it. And bring tissues.
