Critic Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey

The three parallel love stories of daughter and dad, girlfriend and boyfriend, sister and brother, are nicely handled. Robinson is a sympathetic director of actors, allowing almost everyone their dignity. For the most part, she keeps this emotionally charged story in the schmaltz-free zone. Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond

Yet another movie marketed with the line “From the author of The Notebook,” The Last Song is distinguished from other Nicholas Sparks adaptations because it’s the first screenplay the best-selling novelist has written himself. Read full review

Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern

Takes a sharp turn for the better when Ronnie and a poor big rich boy played by Liam Hemsworth fall in love. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt

The movie so deftly mixes sentimentality, romance and bathos in just the right measures that her fans and maybe new ones will enjoy the new Miley. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Michael Ordona

One of those maudlin romantic melodramas you just can't warn folks off. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten

The title, The Last Song, may be wishful thinking for some, but the best they can probably hope for is the close of the era of Hannah Montana movies. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

The only tragedy you'll face is paying good money to this swill. Read full review

The Last Song is a great book adaptation. I think they could have chosen someone else besides Miley Cyrus, but she gives a solid performance as rebellious teen Ronnie. Liam Hemsworth also performs well as Will, and thier romance definitely struck a chord with me. Similarly, Ronnie'sThe Last Song is a great book adaptation.

Well, I like all things Miley does, I think she is a very talented person who persuades you to watch this ordinary but nice movie. I like it. I think this Movie shows us how people can live when their parents aren't together, and I like it. So It's OK.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Miley Cyrus stars in this movie full of bad acting. Basically, she meets her father, feels like she's about to kill him when she discovers he has cancer and he never told her about a month later, she breaks up with her boyfriend because he's a chick magnet, her rage over her father grows excruciatingly, then all of a sudden her father dies and she suddenly feels sorry for him and decides to beat on her boyfriend in a PG rated fashion in her PMS-ic anger. Did I mention the acting is awful?… Expand

The Last Song was supposed to be an actually good Nicholas Sparks film, but Miley Cyrus's just awful and ugly performance ruins the story's potential and it ended up being way too sentimental for me. And it tries to make you cry too hard. I give this movie 8%.

Miley Cyrus absolutely ruined the movie for me. I read the plot and thought I would give it a chance, the plot was fine, Miley's acting however...made me uninterested and not able to connect with the film.
