Hahahhahahahahahahahaha. Ha! That is my initial response. Man.
I laughed, I cried, what more can I say? Miley was truly awful. I really wish I could give her mad props for a great and convincing job on her first acting exersion, but nope. Notta. Can't do it. Everyone else in the movie was spectacular-Greg Kinnear, whom I am growing to love more and more thanks to my mother who has always been a big fan, Liam Hemsworth, who is quite the looker. I mean those deep blue eyes? Come on! Of course we can't forget the little boy! He is absolutely precious! He bordered the cute/annoying line, but never really crossed it. I thought he was a fantastic little actor that stole my heart, if not the whole theater's. I thought the story line was pretty good- especially the twist about her dad being sick at the end, and the whole church scandal, and ya, of course I cried a couple of times. Who doesn't when someone dies? It was pretty hilarious at times, thanks to Miley's inability to keep her lips closed. I mean literally...I wasn't the only one who couldn't stop laughing. It seemed like she had a popcorn kernel stuck between her lip and her teeth. And I was hopeful that her acting wouldn't be as bad as I had feared, but alas, the hope was in vain. I don't understand the phenomena in Hollywood that required everyone of any status with a specific talent to plunge head first into other fields of fame. For example: actors become singers, singers become actors, actors become politicians, singers write novels, etc...the list goes on. And not to say that some great movies haven't been produced by people that are mainly known as singers, or great albums made by actors who happen to have a voice, but I just think people should strengthen their talent, and be okay with not being the best at EVERYTHING. Oh well. It was worth the laughs I guess. :)
