Hannah Montana: The Movie

I went to this movie with three of my nieces and a theater full of children, girls AND boys alike. I was expecting a horrible movie because I cannot stand the television show. I was pleasantly surprised. Though not perfect, Miley Cyrus's acting has improved A LOT. The story and plot was okay for the most part, even though the ending was disappointing to me. Though it may be deemed cliché by many, it was very entertaining and was very "cute." The Hannah/Miley of the show has certainly developed in character, growing from bratty to somewhat mature - at least, empathetic. The moral teaches empathy and caring about your family/friends. And, of course, there was a daughter/father bonding moment, which many people can relate to. These are lessons I definitely agree with! On the flip side, there is a lot of glitz and makeup applying which may lead girls to be prematurely interested in these things. But that's up to the parents to steer their children the right way and not let them grow up too fast. In the end, my nieces loved it, of course, and it was nice to be able to see a clean, family movie with them.

Some of these people remind me of freaking' critics! Everything has to be Oscar-worthy or it's just a crappy movie!

Let's take a look at the fundamentals of what makes up "Hannah Montana: the movie"

First: It is a Disney movie...not pixar! Need I say more... Second: It's Hannah Montana...have you people even seen the show? Third: This is a kids movie for Hannah Montanna fans!

Go in the theater expecting a heavily-clichéd, predictable, possibly nausea-inducing performance from Miley and the gang and all will be fine.

Sit back, relax, laugh at the childish-jokes. It is a kids movie!

not really good,but still entertaining and worth watching.did not turn out what i thought it would be and certainly not Miley's best but still it was not bad,nor good,it was alright,i am a big fan of Miley Cyrus and have been watching the show since 7.but the movie was disappointing,watching the trailer was exciting but to be absolutely truthful,the movie was just okay and not ''great'',so i think this movie could have done better but did'not.Billy Ray was in the movie and i thought he would be great at first ,and Jason Eales was excellent and Miley was okay too,Emily was fabulous,like always,so i think the movie was not perfect,but certainly not a complete fail.

Just a brief note, I think the Hannah Montana show was OK. Aside from some pretty good songs, it's main lead was OK, but later became annoying and some of the story lines, although funny, were quite predictable. While this movie improved a bit on the show, it's still flawed. The story despite it's nice moments is hugely predictable, the direction is bland, the script is schmaltzy, and the dialog is cringe-worthy.

Some of the characters are uninteresting, but the main lead played by Miley Cyrus is a vast improvement and is a much more likable character and her depth is well-developed. Even her relationships with her family especially her father was touching. Some of the songs were mediocre, but the two songs that were not only emotional, but catchy goes to "Butterfly Fly Away" and "The Climb" and I'm surprised to see that song won an award for Best Movie Song.

Overall, not exactly a great movie worth recommending, but not exactly as terrible as the ratings on this website says it is. It does have it's problems, but it's touching songs makes this worth a view for kids and their families.

I genuinely enjoyed this. I didn't see that coming.

'Hannah Montana: The Movie' kept me suitably entertained from start-to-finish, it is so much better than I would've predicted. I have never seen an episode of the television series either.

It features a surprisingly interesting and fairly meaningful story, sure the ending is extremely Disneyfied and nonsensical but they make it work. For what it is, it's a relatively engaging storyline. There are a few bits of neat cinematography, also. Music-wise it's alright, "The Climb" is a (good) song that I was already familiar with.

Miley Cyrus does a respectable job in the lead role(s). Billy Ray Cyrus, Margo Martindale, Vanessa Williams and Barry Bostwick all feature too, as does a young Natalia Dyer. I like the casting.

I had very low expectations coming into this, but it's a film that pleasantly surprised me. I'd say it's worthy of a watch.
