So it appears Miley Cyrus wants to break away from Disney and have a career on her own. There is tremendous pressure on her to NOT turn out like Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan though! With that in mind her upcoming role in "The Last Song" is...probably a good choice. It's PG-rated. She gets to contribute a few songs (real ones maybe). She gets top billing. Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston play major roles. Her part isn't hammered to audiences by the trailer (giving us the impression this may be a role movie and not a star vehicle). The thing that could go either way for this film is the fact that it's based off a Nicolas Sparks novel. For me the guy is hit and miss. Some movies like "A Walk In The Clouds" and "The Notebook" range from excellent to pretty good.
Some of his movie adaptations are unrealistic and predictable. Most of his stuff tends to be syrupy whether it be presented in print or celluloid. I'm more than certain that this film will not get any Oscar nominations. That said it's going to be fun to see where Cyrus's career goes from here. With all the concerns that she may be trying to "sexy up" her musical career, it's nice to see a realistic transition from family star to real movie star with this movie. If the movie is actually good then her career could get a critical boost. If it's bad then be prepared for her to "sexy up" her movie parts as well. I have to say though that scene where she's accepted to Julliard but has decided she's not going rings of a very bad TV movie cliche.
