Rating: 5
Length: 1:45
Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear, Liam Hemsworth
Genre: Family, Drama
The critics mostly panned this one (surprising exception: Entertainment Weekly). It is schmaltzy and manipulative, a real tear jerker. But those of us with a sentimental side are not necessarily insulted by movies like this. If the critics’ mission is to guide the average movie-goer, they should lighten up. Kinnear plays his father role well, and Hemsworth may have taken a step into heart-throb land. And what’s not to like about Miley Cyrus? She’s not going to win an Academy Award nomination in her screen debut here, but she’s pleasing enough. The movie is based on a popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, and I’m told it’s reasonably true to the book.
