Get ready to be dazzled by Disney's big-screen smash hit Hannah Montana the Movie, filled with laughs, adventure, family fun and fabulous music! Come along for the ride and see Hannah like never before as she returns to her roots and faces the most important decision of her life! When Miley Stewart (aka pop-star Hannah Montana) gets too caught up in the superstar celebrity lifestyle, her dad decides it's time for a total change of scenery. But sweet niblets! Miley must trade in all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for some ol' blue jeans on the family farm in Tennessee, and question if she can be both Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana. With a little help from her friends and awesome guest stars Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Vanessa Williams, will she figure out whether to choose Hannah or Miley? Hannah Montana the Movie is a heartfelt major motion picture perfect for the entire family.
"Handles the strained daddy/daughter bond with sufficient lightness and laughs so that fathers won't mind accompanying their spawn." Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
"It's just as awesome as the tv show only bigger and prettier." Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

 | Hannah Montana: The Movie - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/7/2009 7:48 PM | |
Hannah Montana: The Movie acted as my official introduction to the identity crisis that is Miley Cyrus and her pop-music-powered alter ego. I have two boys, after all. The farthest we've ventured down Disney's empowered-female food chain is Kim Possible (which, for the record, deserves its own live-action film adaptation in the vein of Tomb Raider, yet better). But now, at least, I understand the hoopla surrounding this spunky, cool, and charismatic young performer. Her overly produced musical anthems aren't my cup of tea, but I get why so many people line up to drink what she's serving....read the full review |

"[T]here are sufficient pratfalls and Miley/Hannah quick-changes to satisfy the fans, while Cyrus retains that natural, unforced likability that made her a star in the first place." 04/07/2009Variety
"Propelled by the younger Cyrus' charisma and undeniable talent....[A] goofily endearing romp that might even lasso a few new fans..." 04/09/2009 USA Today
?The key to star Miley Cyrus? appeal is that she?s equal parts pop star and spunky down-home girl.? 04/10/2009 Los Angeles Times
?[T]he film allows Cyrus to deliver a solid ingenue performance, shimmering where she needs to shimmer, sassing where she needs to sass and, most important, continuing to offer audiences the image of a lovely but still recognizable real girl onto whom they can project their own dreams.? 04/10/2009 Premiere
"If you are a big fan of country music, you will enjoy it for the Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus and of course, Miley Cyrus performances." 04/09/2009 Washington Post
"Miley Cyrus mixes it up here with something that sounds like real country....The singer-actress has screen presence to spare and a nice, rich voice." 04/10/2009 Rolling Stone 5 of 10
The "this" is a big-screen version of the TV series that Miley and dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, have been doing for the Disney Channel since 2006 when Miley was just 13. Daughter and dad use assumed names (she's Miley Stewart and he's Robby Ray Stewart.) I'm assuming so the public won't think their real lives are this dull. The plot is Disney-for-Dummies basic: Miley is a country girl from Tennessee who moves to Los Angeles where she leads a double life as pop star Hannah Montana. The blonde wig she wears as Hannah fools everyone. In the movie, Robby Ray hijacks Miley's New York-bound jet to her home in Crowley Corners so Miley can get in touch with the girl she was. To her credit, Cryrus is way too scrappy to layer on all the sugar the script requires...The most shocking thing here is the fact that Peter Chelsom directed it. His 1995 movie "Funny Bones" is a genuinely transgressive piece of dark comedy. I can't detect a trace of Chelsom in Hannah Montana, which means he won't have to wear a blonde wig to hide his shame. Advance sales on Fandango indicate that 77 percent of U.S. moviegoers intend to pay up for Hannah Montana sugar shock on its opening weekend, compared to 1 percent for Seth Rogen's wildly inventive "Observe and Report". Thems the facts. "Pop it, lock it and polkadot it," as Hannah sings in the film's "Hoedown Throwdown." I left "Hannah Montana: The Movie" feeling like a stranger in a strange land -- the American multiplex. - Peter Travers
