Nov 20 2009'Last Song' Trailer: Miley Cyrus Gets Her Shot at Bland Teenage Drama
Britney Spears had Crossroads; Mandy Moore had A Walk to Remember; now Miley Cyrus (or is it Hannah Montana when she's acting?) gets her shot at moving from pop songs to insipid melodrama with The Last Song. Based on a Nicholas Sparks book--like A Walk to Remember--the film seems to be about Cyrus/Montana visiting father Greg Kinnear's beach house, meeting a boy, kissing that boy, and the boy executing the fucking strangest, most puzzling romantic gestures he can muster. It's like watching a girl fall in love with a handsome psychotic:
How did I never think of writing "forever" on a girl's shoe? It would be so romantic as she tries to figure out why I would possibly ruin her sneaker in such a creepy, obtuse way. It's like I've labeled her with my calling card, as I do all my victims! FOREVER. Or tracing her body in seashells? God, so beautiful. It's like she's a washed up corpse being investigated by a merman detective. This film is like a guidebook to pronouncing your love in utterly baffling ways. Thanks, Miley!

I hope that this is actually Miley's attempt to snatch her soul back from Disney. Shia has given all of them hope. He saw the top of the mountain. He's shown the world that those raised on the Disney teat can one day break free.
Go now Miley!

She looks either confused or constipated for much of this trailer. You don't have to add her endlessly irritating vocals to know that this movie is going to blow hard.

... And the trailer starts off with a Hanson song primarily about suicide. Interesting pick.
(The song is Your Illusion if anyone is curious).
