Skip ‘The Last Song’

The years haven’t been kind to Miley Cyrus. After being a successful singer and television star, Cyrus seems to be nearing the end of a long and illustrious career.

In “The Last Song,” she looks haggard and devastated, with a snarl constantly glued to her worn-down face. Half the time, she doesn’t seem to even know where she is. She reminded me more of Henry Fonda in “On Golden Pond” than a teen sensation. The end is nigh.

Cyrus plays Ronnie, who is shipped off for the summer to stay with the father she blames for her parents’ divorce. She has a look of disgust in every scene, just so we know she hates being there, and a stud in her nose, so we know she’s trouble. OK, OK, we get it.

This movie is nothing but pure exploitation garbage. When there isn’t enough tension, the boyfriend gets in trouble. When the audience needs to shed a tear, someone gets killed off. This movie doesn’t respect you, so don’t waste your money on it.
