Again, not much to say about this one. Partly because I'm just not really in the mood to post anything, but I might as well.
The only reason I saw this movie is because I read the book. And just in case you were wondering, all Nicholas Sparks books are pretty much the same. While reading a few of them I kept noticing certain plot points and details that seemed to be duplicates of each other.
As far as the movie goes, it was okay. Of course it strayed a little bit from the book -- some character development was greatly shortened and the general emotion in the book just didn't present itself in the movie. And let's face it, Miley Cyrus is a much better actress when she doesn't speak. Sad, but very true.
Also, this book/movie seems like a total rip-off of Life as a House. Before Garden State existed, Life as a House was my favorite movie. Phenomenal acting by the entire cast. While that will be reviewed in another post at some point, I'll still say here that Hayden Christensen was amazing in his early days. Not too crazy about his movie choices as of late, but give Life as a House a go and you'll know that Hayden does have some serious credibility.
