The cast also consists of Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko, Naomi Scott and Blake Michael. This movie was also directed by Patricia Riggen. Although more like a musical type movie than any other genre, the music in the movie is sure to get you dancing and singing along. The music is upbeat and is sure to brighten your mood.

Throughout the movie, it follows the triumphs and struggles that the students face when creating their band and their music. This is a heartwarming story that touches on the power of music, friendship and self-expression.

“The Last Song” is another one of the most underrated Disney movies in my opinion. The movie is based on the book of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. It is considered a romantic drama and it is from 2010. It stars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth as Ronnie and Will respectively. Ronnie and Will in the movie are the two main characters that fall in love throughout the movie.

It isn’t until she falls in love with Will that her softer side shows. However, with her staying with her dad all summer, she begins to mend their relationship. The movie deals with family and love.
