Last Song

Great movie

Now my nose is gonna be stuffed up for at least another hour. Yeah. It is a tear jerker. I had avoided this one because I'm not a big fan of Miley Cyrus, but I will say I forgot who she was about 20 mins into the film. Yey! They didn't focus on her singing and performing too much and made her more of a piano player, but it was the very smallest of features. She really did a great job. The story was terrific and I did compare both of N.S's films... this one and "Dear John" and the other one doesn't even come close. Dear John was very slow and I thought terrible, but this one is a first class winner. I hadn't realized Greg Kinnear was in this and of course Kelly Preston who seems to pop up in every other movie in these small (but nice) roles. Fantastic story. Wonderfully made. I give best acting credits to the little kid that played Miley's brother Jonah. Wow. He was amazing. There wasn't one slow min of this movie at all. They really did a great job of telling a great story all the way down to the racoon and the baby turtles. Wayyyyyyy too cute. That's all I'm gonna say about that, except knowing me I'd spend all those the nights at the beach to make sure they got to the ocean safely also...:o) This is a family movie and everyone over 12 should see it. The little bit of piano music that is played throughout the film is beautiful. I even backed the track up to listen to it over again a couple of times before letting the movie continue. I gave it a complete five stars not because it was like Titanic, all mega budget and all, but because there was something for everyone. Everyone walks away from this with a little something extra and a lesson learned about love and forgiveness. Don't miss this one.

I have watched this movie so many times I have lost count. It is fabulous. Miley isn't an Oscar caliber actress but man this performance hits my heart everytime. The whole cast just knocks it out of the park. There are so many adorable , funny, heartbreaking and triumphant scenes. It has everything. Be sure to get your tissues out! You're going to need them!

I love this movie, one of my favorites! Good for family night, good teen movie or for those movie buffs who can’t get enough of those heart felt films. It is a really great life lessons movie, one that shows you that defining moment when you just discovered something about yourself that revealed a truth you were unaware of until now, or something that has been hidden for years. But it is also funny and adventurous. Really... you can’t go wrong with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Oh and Greg Kinnear is terrific in his role as the father of two kids who come to spend the summer with their dad at his beach house. This is one of my favorite films. Miley sings and plays piano in this one.

I liked this movie, but I didn't love it. I was so excited to see this movie after reading the book because I absolutely love the book! So I guess it was kind of hard to live up to the expectations that I probably set. I just don't think that Miley Cyrus is a good actress, and the little boy that played her brother was not good either. There were certain points in the book that I expected to be brought out in the movie that weren't. The entire last part of the book had me crying until the end, and I don't think I even shed a tear watching the movie. Also, Pastor Harris is a huge part of the book and they didn't even give him a character in the movie...huge disappointment! So, all in all, it was fun seeing the story actually played out in the form of a movie, but it in no way matched the greatness of the book.

This is a fantastic movie that shares a love story in a way that you don't have to be afraid of letting your kids go to it too. The movie tells the story of a girl whose parents are divorced and whose heart has become hardened not only to her father, but to life in general. After she and her brother are sent to spend the summer with her father, she discovers that she doesn't know as much as she thought she did, nor is she as hardened to love as she'd tried to be. When a complete stranger hits on her, they later fall in love, and she discovers how much he really cares. Also, she discovers how much her father loves his kids, as he is hiding a fatal illness and greatly longs to spend last moments with them. This is a must-see movie that you will find yourself relating to and laughing and crying with. A+++!!!

Loved the movie, quick delivery

A rebellious teen (Cyrus) is determined to make her father's summer misearble because he and her mother are divorced. She has exceptional talent as a pianist and was taught by her father to love music. Interaction with her co-star (Liam Hemsworth) leads to a summer romance that is quickly blossoming into much more. Just as it seems her life is making sense, her father collapses and is rushed to the hospital where she learns her father is actually dying. She does the right thing and decided to stay with him until his death. A split with her boyfriend leaves her sad and broken, but she will do nothing to mend the rift. The totally expected happens....Dad dies, boyfriend returns and they make up and life goes on. The chemistry between Cyrus and Hemsworth gives at least some depth to their characters, but only vaguely. However, I did enjoy the move just because I believe in young love and the life lessons learned during those times. Greg Kinnear gives a credible performance as the Dad and is a very mellow man, insuiating, at least to me, that he once was a very differnt kind of man, husband and father and perhaps Cyrus' rebellion is more understandable than first thought. I would watch it again just fo the chemistry between Cyrus and Hemsworth....two very not young actors!

初恋でトキメキ、親子愛に泣かされました！ 父の為に仕上げたラストソングにも涙しました！ とてもいい作品です！

Absolutely love this film great feel good factor and music . Bit sad in parts but part of the journey of the film . Would highly recommend. The dvd was great no scratches .

Wenn ich meiner Schwester einen Film schenke erwarte ich nicht unbedingt, dass er mir auch gefällt, auch wenn ich selbstverständlich ein gewissenhaft schenkender Bruder bin. ;) Nun habe ich diesen Film nicht (hauptsächlich) seiner populären Hauptdarstellerin wegen ausgewählt, auch wenn meine Schwester mit 'Hannah Montana' sicher nicht auf dem Kriegsfuß stand. Dennoch wurde ich, als ich mir den Film dann ansah, von seiner emotionalen Wucht und Unbekümmertheit überrascht. Sicher sind Nicholas Sparks Bücher (ich habe keins gelesen) Wasser auf die Mühlen der sich selbst für enorm tiefsinnig haltenden Literatur-Verfilmungs-Sektion Hollywoods. Ein kritischer Blick hinter die Kulissen auch dieses Films offenbart genügend Weichzeichnungen, reichlich offensichtlich-plakative Moral-Lektionen und auch, wie könnte es anders sein, Klischees. Doch all das ist nebensächlich, kann man sich auf den Film einlassen. Wie seine Hauptfigur hat der Film ein gutes Herz, darf auch ruhig mal ein bisschen über die Stränge schlagen, ist ne ehrliche Haut, authentisch. Gefühlsecht. Die große Liebe einer, die sich nicht verlieben wollte, die zerrüttete Vater-Tochter-Beziehung eines Trennungskindes, ein Hauch Verbundenheit mit der Natur und letztlich auch ein Stück weit (natürlich nur zu erahnen) die Zwänge und Ungerechtigkeiten des Lebens ' das sind die Themen von 'Mit dir an meiner Seite'. Sie vertritt der Film mit gesundem Pathos und weitestgehend ohne künstlichen Kitsch. Zum Glück. Hätte er die ein oder andere Frage auch besser offen gelassen überzeugt der Film doch durch gut aufgelegte, das Drehbuch wirklich lebende Schauspieler, ein stimmiges Setting samt passender Musik und eine ganze Palette an echten, ungestümen Emotionen und Motivationen. Berührend!

I enjoyed watching the movie.
