The Disney-created phenomenon known as Hannah Montana and her real-life alter ego Miley Cyrus, are finally in an actual film, and if you’re a huge fan, this really is a DVD you need to own.
The storyline follows the TV show: Miley Stewart is living two different lives – she’s a pop sensation and a regular teenager. She and her family travel to their hometown in Tennessee and Miley immediately likes it there…but she also has a hard time hiding her true identity.
Miley must decide to either be Hannah the celebrity or her real self.
The movie is rather predictable throughout and even though the script tries to be funny, those scenes don’t really work.
The acting is o.k. I liked the supporting performance by Vanessa Williams, who plays Miley’s mean agent.
Not being a fan of the show or of Miley Cyrus I was bored at times and also surprised that there were some serious moments.
I’ve always thought that “Hannah Montana” is a rip-off “The Lizzie McGuire Show”, which was also a Disney production and made a star out of Hillary Duff. “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”, which came out in 2003, was a much better film than this.
“Hannah Montana: The Movie” is rated G. Disney family-friendly from start to finish.
On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, “Hannah Montana: The Movie” gets a C+. If, however, you’re a big fan of the show, it’s probably a B+. And if you’re a big fan of Miley Cyrus‘s music…probably an A…because the movie is packed with songs.
Cyrus says she only wants to do one more year of the show and no more “Hannah Montana” movies. This film did only so-so at the box office so how the DVD sells may determine if there’s another “Hannah” movie.
