When this particular movie came out I was very excited because I had just got done reading the book. I went to see it in theaters with my little sister. She wanted to go because Miley Cirus, who is the main character. I was leaning more towards the main male lead, Liam Hemsworth.
The movie starts off with a troubled girl being forced to move in with her father. Her parents are divorced and she has lived with her mother ever since then. She resents her father for the divorce and is extremely unhappy about being there. Her little brother however is ecstatic and cannot wait to see the adventures in store at his dads beach house. The story goes on to tell a tale of a father that is dying of an illness and the kids find out the hard way. In the midst of this tragedy the daughter is falling in love with a local boy.
Throughout the film the family because to know each other and the daughter lightens up. She starts to talk to her dad about the boy she is falling for and they start bonding. She realizes that he is not all that bad and just when she is starting to warm up to him, they found he had fallen on the floor in pain. That is when they discovered that he was dying.
The mother came back to get the kids so that they would not have to see their father like that, the daughter decided to stay and help him and spend all his last days with him. They became so incredibly close and he passed away in his own home. This movie hits home because I am so close with my daddy, he is my best friend and the thought of losing him is unbearable.
I would recommend this movie to all young girls who are looking for a love movie mixed in with tragedy, which seems to be their favorite because it makes them feel like what they are going through is not really that bad.
I loved this movie. It was sad though.
