"The Last Song" is now best-known for being the movie where the former A-list couple Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth met and first fell in love. In it, Cyrus plays Ronnie, a disaffected NYC teenager who has given up her dreams of playing piano, while Hemsworth plays Will, a popular resident of his Georgia beach town who works at the aquarium and takes a liking to Ronnie.
Of course, there has to be some tragedy — Ronnie's father, played by Greg Kinnear, is secretly dying of cancer, and has been ostracized by the town residents, who believe he accidentally burnt down the town's church.
"Here's the revelation: Miley Cyrus is a really interesting movie star in the making, with an intriguing echo-of-foghorn speaking voice, and a scuffed-up tomboyish physicality (in the Kristen Stewart mode) that sets her apart from daintier girls," wrote Lisa Schwarzbaum for Entertainment Weekly.
