Seeing The Last Song with Miley Cyrus? Bring Tissues!

This afternoon I brought my 2 daughters (11 & 5) to see The Last Song with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth (who are dating IRL, so I’m told.)

I have not read the book so I do not know if it follows along with the book. I do plan to read it now. I just downloaded it on my Nook.

I really wasn’t expecting much from the movie, but I it. I know the critics haven’t been too nice. Is The Last Song an Oscar winning movie? No, but it was a good story. Predictable, but there were enough twists so we didn’t always know what was coming next.

The Plot

The Last Song is about a girl (Miley Cyrus) who just graduated from High School and is forced (by her Mom) to spend the summer with her Dad. She and her little brother haven’t spent much time with their Dad since their parents divorced. She isn’t very happy about it, but eventually falls in love with a local boy (Liam Hemsworth). That is the basic plot.

Miley doesn’t do a lot of singing in the movie which surprised me, but then it wouldn’t have fit into the plot. I do like Miley Cyrus so I enjoyed watching her in a role that was different from the other parts she has played in the past. Liam Hemsworth is definitely nice to look at also.

The movie is a tear jerker, both happy and sad. I sobbed my way through the movie. My 11 year old loved the movie and also cried through most of it. My 5 year old was bored through much of it (probably shouldn’t have taken her, but we wanted to see it and she wanted to come along).

The Last Song is definitely a chick flick (and I don’t mean in a derogatory way because I LOVE chick flicks. My boys ended up seeing How to Train a Dragon in 3D. So, if the opportunity arises to see the movie, I would go (but don’t forget the tissue).

The Preview

Here is a preview of the movie:

Miley Cyrus Concert Review from Verizon Center, Washington DC

Michele — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:04:29 +0000

The Miley Cyrus Wonder World Tour 2009 concert last night was awesome. It was like watching a live video of each song. She does a fantastic job of putting together a show. The special effects were out of this world. We had fun trying to figure out which song was next by the special effects. Some were hard to figure out.

This was definitely all Miley…No Hannah Montana! She has grown up and her songs and concert show that. I’m not afraid to admit that I really like Miley’s songs. Yes, I’m a 42 yr old who listens to Miley Cyrus because I enjoy her songs.

Last night she told us she wasn’t feeling well and as a Mom, I think she had that “sick” look on her face, but my girls couldn’t tell the difference. If that is her show when she’s sick? Then her well show must be over the top.

The show opened with Metro Station. The lead singer from the band is Trace Cyrus who is Miley’s older brother (and guitarist is Mason Musso, Mitchell Musso’s older brother). I completely understand why he got this gig. The band isn’t bad and heck, we all help family. BUT, he does not need to tell us about 20 times that he is Miley’s older brother. We get that. Please WOW us with your music, not your family relationships.

The concert started right on time at 7pm. Metro Station came out and played for about 30 min. We missed the Shake It song which is the one song I know from them because we decided to hit the bathrooms before the break and Miley came out. She came out around 8:30 and played til 9:30 including one encore. It was a short concert. I don’t know if I’m used to longer concerts or if it was because she wasn’t feeling well, but it did feel like there should have been a few more songs.

I’m not going to go through all the songs one by one, but rather just say that she has a beautiful voice, she knows how to put on a show and it was one of the most entertaining concerts I’ve ever seen. Heck, she flew over the audience on a motorcycle!

I put together a short Animoto show of the pictures I took. I couldn’t use one of Miley’s songs since I don’t have permission, so I found one that fit my mood.

And I guess if it was good enough for the First Lady and First Daughters, then it was good enough for this Tech Goddess and her Tech Princesses.

Here are some of the songs we enjoyed from the concert last night with videos (not my videos, but I grabbed from youtube via Apture and they are all from her Wonder World Tour 2009) Party in the USA

Girls Night Out

The Climb

7 Things

Hoedown Throwdown

Project 365: Day 60

Here are all are ready to watch the Jonas Brothers: 3D movie. We were very surprised that the theatre was not filled, not even half filled. When we went to see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D movie last year, it was PACKED full. We really enjoyed the movie and it was a lot like the actual concert. Here is the trailer for the movie.

Yes, Virginia I do listen to Miley/Hannah

A lot of the songs are hokie, but they are sweet songs and usually have really catchy music that just makes you want to sing and dance. I love that. Here is the latest song which will be in the new Hannah Montana: The Movie coming out on April 10. I will take my kids to see it, just like we saw the 3D movie last year. We saw the Jonas Brothers last August in concert and we’ll be seeing the 3D version at the IMax theatre in a few weeks. I really should have bought stock in Disney.

So, tell me about your secret music listening habits. The things that you really don’t admit you listen to most of the time. I know you have at least one song or singer that you really would not care to admit to.

miley cyrus, music
