![]() Dad is playing one of his original compositions and Cyrus has a nice moment on the stairs as Ronnie allows herself to experience the joy of the music. ![]() She returns home in the wee hours after fending off unwanted advances from Marcus. Ronnie spends her first night with dad out on the beach beneath a pier observing her new found friends boozing (she doesn't drink, of course). Sparks delivered, crafting the role for her out of his remnants bag. It's about on a par with the Mandy Moore starring "A Walk to Remember" ("The Notebook," of course, retains the crown), which is the movie Cyrus cited as the type she wanted to be in. ![]() What is more surprising is that "The Last Song" turns out to be the second best adaptation of Sparks' particular brand of goody-two-shoed love stories where the protagonists are separated across class boundaries preferably near a southeastern seashore where stacks of letters go unread and someone important is destined to die. Miley Cyrus takes one step away from her squeaky clean Hannah Montana character while keeping one foot on safe ground as the singing, piano-playing Ronnie in the first Nicholas Sparks adaptation to be written by the author himself (with prior collaborator Jeff Van Wie), and although I often find the teen's persona annoying, I have to admit she does a solid job here, albeit pretty much playing a version of herself. ![]()
