Movie description:
If there's one thing Roni does not want to do for the summer its spend time with her enstrangled father.  Can this summer provide an experience of self discovery so deep that they become closer than they once were or can a new boyfriend in the form of Will, simply pull her further and further away?  Either way this will be a summer to remember.

Review:
First off let me say that as Hannah Montana I am not a fan of Miley.  Although the movie was a million times better than the TV show.  When seeing this trailer it looked intriguing and since we are all praying for summer to come sooner rather than later I thought it would be worth a look.  And I was right.

Without giving anything away I must warn action fans to stay clear.  Yes, it does say that there is some violence but really it is one scene and is over before the adrenaline has time to spread in your body.  This movie is a romantic, family type drama and ladies I prewarn you water proof make up and tissues may be a good idea.  The acting and storyline were both incredible.  While watching the movie Miley disappeared and became the young woman the story detailed.  Honestly I both hoped and had my fingers crossed that she would be successful in making the transition from Disney Channel star to Actress and I feel that this movie proved she could do it.  Her real life and movie boyfriend, Liam, plays Will the very gorgeous stranger who seems to realize there is more to Roni than she lets on and is determined to find out what it is.  Through the course of the movie the chemistry between Miley and Liam is clear, and although most scenes are away from other people they do not keep the chemistry between themselves.  Greg, who plays Roni's father, is as always amazing.  He is not only funny, but charming, caring and at times soulful.  Both Miley and Liam interact with Greg perfectly, as well as the young boy who plays Roni's little brother. 

I would recommend this movie to hopeless romantics and people who love the drama type cryfest movies. Again action and sci-fi fans may want to pass on this one.
