Sponsored Movie Review

I was worrying at first if it would have a heavy storyline like some other sappy romance films, but I was proven wrong by the characters that are easy to connect, and the melodramatic story that is somewhat predictable but convincing enough to let you relate to the characters.

It was definitely a feel-good movie, but little did I expect it to be a tearjerker too. It also has funny moments that cracks you up!

The movie centers on a troubled teenage girl, Ronnie, who is pretty much bitter about every other thing in her life. But underneath the emo look, she is a very smart and kind-hearted girl and a piano prodigy who stopped playing out of spite.

Along with her animated little brother, they were sent to stay with her divorced (hence the spite) father for the summer where she meets this dreamy stud and falls in love with.

I especially liked how Ronnie changed from this angsty teenage girl to slowly opening up to her father and eventually reconnecting with him before everything becomes too late.

I think I actually became a fan of Miley Cyrus after seeing how she is able to portray this character that is a total opposite of what we known her as. This edgy role lets us see how versatile she can be.

Apart from Miley, I’m also very impressed with Bobby Coleman’s – who played Ronnie’s little brother – acting. In the second half of the movie when the drama picks up, this little boy will be able to touch your heart and make you tear with him.

This romance movie is a definitely must-watch for all those teenage girls (or even cougars), judging from the giggles whenever the local hunk (Liam Hemsworth) in story appears onscreen – topless or not. Even him putting down a chair to sit beside Ronnie made the crowd chuckled effortlessly.

Oh, the music played a good role in the emotional scenes. And I liked the take-home message: “Everybody makes mistakes. Even the ones we love.”

Do catch in the cinemas soon! Btw, I’ve “liked” Disney Studio Singapore Facebook page, have you? http://pea.to/dtls
