Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

zkonedog When all is said and done, the Hannah Montana television series may go down as the best/most popular in Disney Channel history. After watching this corresponding film installment, I can confidently say that its legacy will also live on via the big screen.Basically, all you need to know about the showing going in is the basic premise behind everything: Hannah Montana is an incredibly popular pop singer, but only plays the role when not being a "normal girl" as Miley Stewart, never to divulge her secret identity to the world.In this movie, Miley goes (or, rather, is forced) back to her Tennessee roots when her Hannah persona gets a little too "big for its britches" out in Hollywood. While down South, Miley starts to remember what made her create Hannah in the first place, and is forced to make a difficult decisions that will affect the rest of her Hollywood career.What really sets this show apart from other Disney fare is that the characters age/grow right along with the show. By the time this movie came out, Miley Cyrus is playing almost a completely different character than she did at the show's inception. Unlike some shows that re-tread the same basic scenarios time after time regardless of character age, Hannah Montana advances the characters, story lines, and subject matter appropriately, including in this film.In terms of casting, all the "usual suspects" from the series are back, including guest appearances from celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. Some may argue whether Cyrus has the acting chops to become a true big screen star, but there is no doubt that she shines in this duel-personality role.Thus, this is a family-friendly film that I can easily recommend to watch with your younger siblings/friends. At first, you may feel uncomfortable watching such supposedly "silly" fare, but in short order you'll realize you're just watching an effective family film.

J Besser People need to get down off their high horse and sit down and watch this terrific movie. The story of a selfish girl who needs to remember who she really is has been told before, I guess, but not this well. This movie has a warmth that you might not expect. It shows that lies can hurt the ones you love and the power of forgiveness. Miley Cyrus may be running amok right now but that doesn't take away from the fact that she is a gifted performer.(Just watch her appearances on SNL.) The soundtrack is great. One great song after another. The only demerit that I would give this movie is that the slapstick jokes are a little clunky.

funnyfrankie As a chap living in Britain there is many films to watch and enjoy. I did not find enjoyment from the American hillbilly singing pile of rubbish called Hannah Montana. The plot sucked, the actors sucked and the entire movie sucked. I took my loving daughter, Steve to this film and I pulled her out of the cinema because it was that bad. Complete rubbish and I'd have a better time sipping at tea than watching this movie. I waisted my money on this crap and I even called my credit card company to remove the charge. Every so often I this movie comes along on Cable and I just turn it off so dear Steve could not drop IQ points by watching this rubbish. I recently purchased an Xbox 360 for personal use. If you ask me I'd say its a waist of time. 1/10

TheLittleSongbird I will admit outright first, I do not like the show at all really, because I find it mainly unfunny and feel apart from two or three actors the acting is not good. So I wasn't expecting much when I saw Hannah Montana:The Movie out of curiosity, and while I do think it is a marginal improvement over the show, that isn't saying much.The scenery is sometimes very nice, but I felt the editing was choppy in places. I also don't really like the soundtrack that much. Butterfly Fly Away was sweet, but I do not like The Climb at all, mostly because the lyrics are really uninspired and Miley Cyrus's vocals were rather forced for my liking.What else didn't I like about the movie? Well, there was the clichéd plot line, with one too many predictable turns. There was a weak script, that tried to be funny or touching but failed, and a very dull romance. Then there is the message, for me this is one of the most hypocritical messages I have seen in a film in a long time. I can't say anything good about the acting or direction either. The direction is simplistic, while Miley Cyrus verges on painful to watch. Emily Osment tries her hardest, but is given literally nothing to do, while Billy Ray Cyrus should stick to singing than acting. And Barry Bostwick needn't have bothered really, he is a good actor, but with such a poorly written character he is wasted.Overall, it is a waste of time. By all means you can see it and like it, but to be honest I didn't think much of this. 2/10 Bethany Cox
