The Last Song: DVD review

Many dramas tend to try and force emotion out of the audience. Some movies have certain aspects that are so obviously intended to draw on emotions (Remember Me) that it makes me laugh. The Last Song has an emotional element that the critics don't seem to see. It's a story of family, faith, love, and life. Many reviews on this film have called it "generic" and write it off as a tired, sappy story. Bobby Coleman is great as Jonah in this film, and it's sure this won't be his "last song." Liam Hemsworth has a great character and has great chemistry with not only Cyrus but all the actors in the film. 
Not very often does a book come alive on screen as well as The Last Song does. It rightfully should however, seeing as Sparks wrote the screenplay before he wrote the book. There are a few variations from the book, but not distracting enough to take away from the film.
 Sparks wrote The Last Song with lead actress Miley Cyrus in mind, and the character fits well. Many people have said they had a hard time getting the blond wig out of their head while watching Cyrus in this film, but by the time she throws her  first hissy fit, you'll be saying, "Hannah who?" Greg Kinnear was just awesome in this film, he nailed a dramatic role that wasn't an easy character to play. Here is a favorite quote from the movie, "

“Love is fragile. And we’re not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives... Against all odds.” If you enjoy movies that have a message without pounding it into your head, you'll love The Last Song.The DVD also contains an alternate opening and some sweet bonus features!
