It is a wonderful thing to be able to write something that says, 'Yes, you can fall in love and it can be as deep as any love out there, even if you don't go all the way, because love is about support and communication.'Ī: I would say I am a romantic to a certain extent, and I think my wife would say yes as well.

I asked Miley when I was coming up with the story if she wanted to sing.

1 albums in three years?Ī: Yeah - I put that in there because I thought it was funny. Q: There is a scene where Cyrus' character, Ronnie, starts to sing along with a song on a car radio, and Will (Hemsworth) says to her, 'Wow, you can really sing.' Is this a little in-joke, acknowledging Cyrus' four No. Not only is she romanced by hunky newcomer Liam Hemsworth, but she also has numerous scenes with the amiable Greg Kinnear as the dad. It's easy to see what attracted Cyrus to the part of a rebellious teenager sent to a small Southern town for the summer in the hope that she will reconnect with her estranged father. He jokes that during the time it took him to finish, she probably saw 150 scripts from other writers.

Besides having to please the studio with his words, Sparks also had to court Cyrus' approval.
