But for those wondering if the continuing popularity of such exercises might make this one worth the ticket price, the same effect might be achieved by writing names and obstacles (make some tragic) on index cards and tossing them in the air. Those hungry for this kind of calculated, faux-emotional escapism can order the usual from this familiar menu, and really, what’s wrong with that? There was audible sobbing in the screening this reviewer attended, so somebody cares. Giving serious consideration to a widget such as “Last Song” is like dancing about architecture. Only Kinnear survives the attrition, sort of.

The acting is similarly an unconnected series of camera-ready smiles and poses.
Even more than in most specimens of the genre, the characters are die-cast figures whose positions on the board we’re not to question, though little justification for their moves together or apart is forthcoming. Here, the scale is smaller but the theatrics are equivalent. 'Pretty Savage' is, without a doubt, BLACKPINK's cockiest song to date, and it totally works. So the crafters of heavy-handed fluff must rely on audiences’ goodwill to accept that characters who were willing to go to “Say Anything” lengths for someone just a scene ago, suddenly can’t find a name in their contact lists. Song highlight: Jisoo's 'like eee eee eee' on the chorus, particularly the high note she hits at the top of the phrase. Several previous RCA compilations ( Memories: The 68 Comeback. The resulting LP, NBC-TV Special, combined sit-down and stand-up segments, but probably over-compensated on the stand-up segments. It’s just too easy to communicate these days when it’s important.

Spoiler alert: Will’s terrible secret is that he’s perfect. Despite - because of? - her sulking, Ronnie catches the eye of dreamy local stud Will (Liam Hemsworth), whose shirtlessness is explored in depth. Piano prodigy Ronnie has quit playing out of spite Dad patiently bears her teen angst. Sullen, half-heartedly goth teen Ronnie (Miley Cyrus sans “Hannah Montana” trappings) is dropped off with energetic kid brother Jonah (Bobby Coleman) for a coastal summer with estranged musician dad Steve (Greg Kinnear). They’re going to see it, though they know the story before they get in the car. “Last Song” is one of those maudlin romantic melodramas you just can’t warn folks off. There aren’t a lot of surprises in store when a film is struck from Nicholas Sparks and is called “The Last Song.” There will be young love in the picturesque South, there will be a battery of contrivances keeping those crazy kids apart, and there will be tragedy and much rending of hair.
