This movie is: Emotional, Sentimental, Romantic
My Thoughts:
This was a "Family Movie Night" movie. I had been wanting to see it because the preview looked good but our Netflix hadn't been working and Kaylee had basketball on Friday nights.
Well, basketball is over now and we got Netflix through our XBOX working and decided on this movie. The girls were into it because of "Miley". I've always had a soft spot for Greg Kinnear.
The movie itself started out not-so-good for me. I actually could have just stopped watching it at one point because the whole beachy, teen-angst was just getting corny.
I'm so glad that we kept watching because the second half of the movie redeemed the whole movie for me.
In the description above it says "emotional" and "sentimental". They are absolutely correct.
Just as my mom and I cried at the "Next Great Love Song" (see my TSMSS post), we bawled and bawled toward the end of the movie.
I was glad it didn't end there but went on to show Ronnie starting a new beginning and driving off into the sunset.
I guess what I'm saying is, watch it. If you get a bit bored in the beginning, prevail. It will be worth it.
