Hannah Montana: The Movie (Walt Disney Pictures)
A Perfect Movie For Mileys Younger Fans
Miley Cyrus has ridden the Hannah Montana express to fame and fortune. The Disney Channel TV series is one of the most popular ever and is still going strong. Now we get Hannah Montana: The Movie and it is all about what the TV series is all about. So fans of the TV show should flock to see Miley on the big screen makes sense to me.
In the film Miley Stewart, AKA Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) is living the high life playing her alter ego Hannah Montana. She shops in all the best stores and even has private jets at her disposal. All of this concerns her father Robby Ray Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus) who thinks Mileys head may be getting too big for her wigs.
He whisks her off to Crowley Corners, Tennessee where he says she has to stay for two weeks, or she may never be able to play Hannah again. Miley soon settles down on a farm with her grandmother (Margo Martindale), her father and brother (Jason Earles). The hired hand is one of Mileys grade school playmates, a boy named Travis (Lucas Till). The foreman of the ranch is a woman named Lorelai (Melora Hardin), who grandma thinks is perfect for Robby Ray.
The town is a virtual Garden of Eden, but every paradise has to have a snake and this town has been invaded by a tabloid reporter (Peter Gunn). He is trying to discover Hannahs secret.
Does Miley get exposed as being Hannah Does Robby Ray let Miley sing again as Hannah Do Robby Ray and Lorelai become the ideal couple And does Grandma managed to keep the Mall out of her quiet little town All of these questions and more are answered in this squeaky clean movie.
One side thought, who knew Crowley Corners was the home to Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Bucky Covington and Hannah Montana! Thats how it looks in this movie. They are all just part of the friends and neighbors who live there.
The movie is rated G and it is perfect entertainment for Mileys younger fans.
Miley Cyrus is a talented girl. She pulls off the comedy and the dramatics for the movie, plus she sings. Still the weight of the movie is just too much for her to carry and so there is a plot which has too many is she or isnt she moments. One especially tiring sequence has Miley on a date with Travis while also attending the Mayors dinner for Hannah. It is as exhausting as it sounds.
Hannah Montana: The Movie is a sure delight for the pre-teens but for older folk it gets a little strained. Still there are a lot of songs that set your toes to tapping, and some funny lines that will get you to chuckling. So it isnt a complete waste of time for adults.
I scored Hannah Montana: The Movie a dual life 5 out of 10..
