The Last Song!

So on March 31st The Last Song opened in theaters and guess who went to see it ... me! (Yes I know the poster says April 2nd, but they changed the date.)

I read the book by Nicolas Sparks over winter break and I fell in love with the story. It's actually my favourite book. I was worried that the movie wouldn't live up to the expectations but I feel as if the movie did it justice, I think it helped that Nicolas Sparks wrote the screenplay for the movie before he wrote the book. One of my biggest concerns was that Miley would portray Ronnie properly, and once again it turned out fine - but I do have to say she played the role a little differently than I interpreted it when I read it, but that's always expected in novel adaptations.

So for those of you who don't know what The Last Song is about, I shall tell you.
The story focuses on a rebellious teenage girl who is sent with her brother to live with her father in a small town. Throughout the movie/book her relationship with her father deepens and a new relationship, with a local boy named Will, sparks.

As all Nicolas Sparks' movies do, it will cost you quite a few tears, so skip the mascara (unless it's waterproof of course).
