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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Anyone but Cyrus fans will find this one of the more inferior Sparks adaptations -- and yes, that includes Nights in Rodanthe.
It's like Dante and Beatrice all over again, with the Georgia coast standing in for Paradise.
Sadly, without a single note of originality, Last Song is an awfully long and tiresome tune.
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.
