Comment on The Last Song by Ramona and Beezus | Chickflix

[...] Ramona and Beezus is a light family drama that occasionally gets a bit sad. I even shed a few tears – though I attribute those to experiential relatability more than anything else. It’s hard not to relate to, recognize, or envy the various relationships touched upon in the movie: There’s Ramona’s relationship with her sister Beezus; her relationship with her parents (Corbett and Bridget Moynahan); her parents’ relationship with each other; her relationship with her school teacher (Sandra Oh); her relationship with her Aunt Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin), and Bea’s relationship with a former high school sweetheart and neighbor, Hobart (Josh Duhamel). None cut too deep. But then again, this movie has a rather limited target demo consisting mostly of 8-12 year old girls. I took two smart and sassy 10-year-olds and they both seemed to enjoy it. Rumor has it that Miley “Hannah Montana” Cyrus was initially offered the role of big sister Beezus. All I can say is… well… thank goodness for small movie favors. I’m still processing The Last Song.

Saw it today with Mom. I was with it the whole way, but agree that it makes you work to keep up with it. I’m not sure Mom liked it as I did and coming out I heard a group of the other viewers disagreeing about how complex it was and whether it needed to be that hard. I liked the internal logic and the visuals a LOT. And the cast was stellar.

Even my 14 year old grandson recognized that Jackie Chan does not have the acting range of Pat Morita.Who cast the female romance interest? Way too old and sophisticated for Dre. There was so much I missed from the original. Still, the pictures from Beijing were nice. It lacked rhythm.Then again, I may be suffering from nostalgia. Karate Kid (the first) is one of my insomnia flicks. I wouldn’t go back to see this version. My granddaughter liked it.
