The Last Song

Have you seen this movie?

We just did. 

Wondering if anyone feels the way I did about it.

So we walk in, sit down and Den says,  "I am the only male here. 

What kind of movie is this anyway?" 

I said,  "I really don't know. I just read that if you feel like crying, this is the movie to go to."

Good thing I couldn't see his face. It was dark in there.

I liked it.

However, it sort of dragged along about this teenage fluffy no substance romance. 

It was nearly half over when Den leans over and says,  "Where are we going with this?"

I had a hard time getting past the fact that Miley Cyrus' boyfriend in the movie looked nearly identical to Brad Kennington (my son Logan's friend). 

That's all I could see. 

I can't even remember his name. 

When Den and I talk about the movie we just call him Brad.

Really, they looked that much alike. 

Both very good looking. 

And the guy who played the father...he reminded me so much of Verne Woolley (my DIL Amy's Dad)

We just call him Verne. 

Obvious we don't go to movies very often.

When you get as old as we are, I guess most people look like someone else.

So I didn't know the movie was about dying. 

Watching that little boy about to lose his Dad was brutal. 

I sat there in that theater feeling so grateful that when my sons' Dad died they didn't know it was going to happen.

It just happened and he was gone.

As horrific as that was, I think knowing before would have been worse. 

So if I ever felt bad that my boys didn't get to say goodbye to their Dad, this movie cured me of that. 

It didn't affect Den the same way.  He leaned over and said,  "She needs braces." (Mylie Cyrus)

We got in the car and I told Den I enjoyed the movie. 

I like watching emotion. 

I like watching relationships. 

He said,  "As long as my wife is happy." 

No, I said, I really want to know what he thought of it.

So then he says,  "It was all about a spoiled brat who thinks the world revolves around her
and cares more about baby turtles than the people around her." 

And then he added,  "You would think she could at least get some Invisaligns for her teeth." 

I think her crooked tooth is cute. 

If you saw it, what did you think?
