... The Last Song ...

Movie Review

Movie: The Last Song
Rating: 3 stars out of 5 stars
[4 stars out of 5 stars for sappiest chick flick love story]

Lets see, where to start with this one. This movie is your typical Nicholas Sparks' book turned movie. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love and of course someone has to die. I don't want to give away too much of this predictable love story, therefore I'm going to keep this blog short. On a side note, I managed to get one of my good guy friends to go with me to this obvious chick flick. He didn't think it was too bad, but I had to laugh out loud literally in the movie theater when the teeny boppers that surrounded us were crying like their dog died. One thing teeny boppers this day in age need to learn is love does not happen the way it is written in books and movies. Hollywood has done a ridiculous good job at portraying the way love DOES NOT happen in this day in age. I guess it could happen like this in a perfect world, but wait ... The world isn't perfect. Maybe this is why you see people getting married older and having kids later in their life. All the girls/ladies in this world are waiting for a love story such as "The Last Song" to happen to them. Clearly, I'm not waiting for that. Life is too short to be waiting for prince charming to sweep me off my feet. One thing I liked about this movie was it was not very long and blah blah blah. I thought it had a nice flow and I was not checking my watch and wondering if this movie would hurry up and end. For all you hopelessly romantics out there, this movie would be a good one for you. But for those of you that are like myself, that are not so keen on the typical love story mirage that is built for us by Hollywood, I would wait for this movie to come out on DVD. Rent it when you are having a girl's night and even then be sure to rent a second movie, just in case this movie is a flop in your girl's night out event.
