Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    Here's the revelation: Miley Cyrus is a really interesting movie star in the making, with an intriguing echo-of-foghorn speaking voice, and a scuffed-up tomboyish physicality (in the Kristen Stewart mode) that sets her apart from daintier girls.

  • Anna Smith, Time Out

    Anyone but Cyrus fans will find this one of the more inferior Sparks adaptations -- and yes, that includes Nights in Rodanthe.

  • Mary F. Pols, MSN Movies

    It's like Dante and Beatrice all over again, with the Georgia coast standing in for Paradise.

  • Bruce Demara, Toronto Star

    Sadly, without a single note of originality, Last Song is an awfully long and tiresome tune.

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    The movie moves Ms. Cyrus from where she was to more or less where she and her handlers wanted to be, and Mr. Kinnear's musician father, Steve, adds a generous measure of grace.

    It is a funny way to create a movie. "Lets write a movie as a vehicle for Miley Cyrus to initiate her adult acting career". Nevertheless it is good fodder if you are a romantic -- what does it say in the summary? "...first loves and second chances".

  • Alexander D


    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… More

    I don't understand how people cannot find this film completeley and utterly heart wrenching. A beautifuly written love story by one of my favourite authors of all time. His films never fail to amaze me and this one was outstanding. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hensworth are adorable… More

    Mopey and maudlin. Miley Cyrus doesn't have what it takes carry a picture and while the film has a beautiful setting the story is trite. Greg Kinnear is good but not in the story enough to save it.
