Lets start by saying the book was incredible.
Maybe it doesn’t have the greatest plot, but it really portrays the progression and journey of love.
That was part of the movie’s “problem”, as a lot of scenes were rushed.
There were also a few unnecessary scenes…as well as parts that should’ve been included, such as the father’s faith.
In agreement with pretty much everyone else on here, the young boy who played Jonah has a bright future ahead of him.
He really brought emotion to the film. Miley needs a little work on her serious acting, but it can’t be an easy transition from Disney to this.
The movie didn’t flow as well as it could have, but it was still decent.
Seventeen-year-old Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia.
Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father …until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer on Tybee Island with him.
Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.
The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts …and heal them.
