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

vchimpanzee First of all, let me say I'm the same age as Billy Ray Cyrus and, although I never cared for the man after the atrocious "Achy Breaky Heart", once I discovered Hannah Montana on ABC Kids on Saturday morning, and even after trying out the show once when I was in a motel with all the cable channels, I actually liked him as an actor. And my opinion on his one hit song has improved over the years.But except for the music, I've found Miley Stewart and her friend Lily adorable. It would be nice if the ABC broadcast network could have shown us more than the one season, but that was enough for me to develop a taste for these characters. Sure, it's corny Disney fluff, but that's my kind of entertainment.Robby Ray has strong family values, and he's not going to put up with any more nonsense from his daughter. It's a good message, especially in a world where teenage girls walk all over their clueless sitcom fathers. Well, this sitcom father has had enough.Margo Martindale gives a fine performance, especially in one scene. She's not going to put up with her granddaughter thinking she's too good for small town life and the friends she has grown up with.We have the stock Disney villain in Barry Bostwick. But I saw him in "Spin City" and know he's better than this. And of course the tabloid reporter who is a villain in his own way, going out of his way attempting to discover Hannah's secret. He has bubbly teen daughters who are obsessed fans who he has put in a strict Catholic school, and they're good for a few laughs.And eventually the message gets through to Miley. But of course we have the standard deception story lines and the frantic switching back and forth between characters which I've seen done better, but it's still entertaining. I particularly liked seeing an attempt to make Lily pass as Hannah.There's not much here that I would call music, but there's a lot that I would. I have mixed feelings about Miley Stewart's attempt to mix rap with banjos. The banjos I like. And in a scene that embarrasses Miley, family and friends perform what I would call good country music. There are a couple of good country songs. Even Taylor Swift does something that passes for country. Then we have Rascal Flatts, who sound surprisingly country on their instruments, but I can't get past the fact that their atrocious vocals sound like 'N Sync.No one's winning awards for this. It's just fun.

velcrohead The most hilarious part of reading all the negative reviews for this particular movie is that even though all these guys are trying to be with the cool kids and snark on Hannah Montana, clearly they all have sought out, paid money for, and watched this movie. Who's the joke really on, guys?Look, I'm a man in my mid-30s. I'm not embarrassed to say I watched this movie and that I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong; I wasn't optimistic going into it. But "Hannah Montana: The Movie" surprised me with its emotional depth. Far from being just a silly kid's flick, there is actual heart to the story, and by the end of the movie--provided you get over your pretentiousness and whatever antipathy you have for Miley Cyrus, the actor--it's really easy to be caught up in what the characters are feeling and to really care about them.Is there silly stuff? Well, sure. This isn't a documentary about concert promotion, after all. It's a comedy meant to be accessible to all ages. Folks who were looking for "Hannah Montana: Buckets of Blood" are clearly going to be disappointed. If you expect the movie to answer existential theories or postulate about the meaning of life, then yeah, you're gonna leave somewhat empty-handed. My one gripe about the movie is that the credits should have rolled immediately after the performance of "The Climb." If the movie had stopped right there, it would have been perfect. I understand that they needed to leave an open ending to continue the TV series, but I thought the ending did sort of undermine the value that the rest of the movie until that point had been trying to illustrate: being true to oneself. Instead, after Miley has not only come to grips with who she is, but also with how her Hannah side is quite frankly destructive to her life, she is railroaded by the rest of the cast into keeping up the lie. The film's message had been pretty clear up until then: living a double life can never make you happy, and it's best to be honest. And suddenly, there's an about-face that says "hey, lying's OK, nay, it's the only way you can truly be happy." Were it my movie to edit, I would've left the movie to end at "The Climb," allowed the sleazy tabloid reporter to out Miley, only with Miley not caring, because she finally was OK with herself.Still and all, not a bad little film, and certainly not deserving of the bile that gets vomited on it here.

ebiros2 Teen super star Hanna Montana takes her wig off and goes home to her home town of Crowley Corners in this movie. She finds her value reprioritized after spending her time with her family and childhood acquaintances. I've just watched this movie out of curiosity as all my family is way too grown up to be its intended target audiences, but I thought the movie was very good for its intended preteen audiences. It follows the Disney formula of wholesome family value, and pulls on the heart strings of young preteen girls of romance, fame, talent and success. Not to mention privilege of having great time shopping at an expensive Beverly Hills boutique. Hanna and Miley has it all, everything a young girl can hope and wish for, and this is what this movie is all about.You shouldn't watch this movie as anything more or you will be disappointed. I mean the entire purpose of Hanna Montana is to cater to this audience. Ordinary family movie done in extravagant way only Disney can sums up this ordinary but extraordinarily expensive movie.I'd have to mention that Lucas Till as Travis looked great in this movie.5/10 stars.
