Miley Cyrus – Off?


02 April 2010

Miley Cyrus is fast approaching adulthood and has spoken of her wish to move away from her clean-cut TV alter-ego Hannah Montana, however her attempt to prove her acting credentials have been dealt a blow – her new film has been met by heavy criticism.

The teen sensation has boasted that her new film, ‘The Last Song’ by ‘The Notebook’s’ Nicholas Sparks, would quell any fears of being typecast in ‘Hannah Montana’ type roles.

Unfortunately for Miley, the critics have her in their cross hairs;

“Cyrus makes the most dubious 'dramatic' debut of any singer since Britney Spears.” – reports The New York Post, while The New York Times states: “Acting, for the moment at least, seems almost entirely beyond her…she pouts, slouches, storms in and out of rooms and occasionally cracks a snaggle-toothed smile, but most of the time she seems to be mugging for the camera, play-acting rather than exploring the motives and feelings of her character.

The Notebook author Sparks was approached by film-makers after Miley said she wanted to repeat the movie success of singer-turned-actress Mandy Moore, whose performance in another Sparks adaptation A Walk To Remember landed her critical acclaim.
