   With a whopping total of $16,007,426 opening weekend, The Last Song hit a high note as it rang through theaters. It is the movie to delight girls and guys of every age that love a good ‘chick-flick.’ Based on its novel by Nicholas Sparks, the Last Song challenges the boundaries of young love and rebellion.

   Ronnie Miller (Miley Cyrus) plays a teenager who is shipped to her father’s home in North Carolina for the summer. Upset from her parent’s divorce, Ronnie comes aggravated and uninterested in her father or the idea of being there in the first place.

   Along the way, she meets new friends and discovers young love with Will Blakelee (Liam Hemsworth).  As they adventure into summer on an amazing journey, they are threatened with many tough decisions that they must face together and apart.

   Creating a story full of unexpected challenges, Sparks embarks on another journey of love he is known for. Yes, the thought of yet, another mushy love story comes to mind, but this movie is definitely out of the box. With an unpredictable ending and many new twists, this movie is sure to bring a tear to everyone’s eye, as did the book.
