Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert

Greed. Greed. Shameless greed. Gouging the public is bad enough, but targeting 8 to 12 year-old girls is just horrific.

Let's teach our daughters a valuable lesson about exploitation and skip this marketing fluff. Let's say "NO" to this greedy, overblown, and mediocre talent that Disney is trying to push on our impressionable daughters.

Their shrewd scheme to create an artificial demand by using over-inflated ticket prices is just another reason to boycott Disney.

My daughter has been a huge Hannah Montana fan. I've seen the TV show a few times, it was OK but nothing special. I was stupid and allowed my daughter to buy her CD's and video games. But no more. My daughter will not be buying any more Hannah Montana garbage.

160 bucks for a concert, I laughed and said "No way sweetie" to that. Then 15 bucks a ticket for a movie, I just pulled my money back and told the cashier no thanks!

Please people, don't pay another dime on this scam. Its time to punish these people. Please, please, please ... boycott this film and the Hannah Montana show & merchandise. They are so shameless and the worst example of greed that I've ever seen aimed at young girls.

Okay, I know at this point Miley Cyrus is probably on the upper hand of morality in comparison to other teen icons. But am I the only one who gets sick of this type of thing? Various companies (in this case Disney) overly promote an up-and-coming teenage singer or actor, sucks the originality out of it, then makes us sick to our stomach with it. During this period of time, millions of preteens look up to them with little puppy dog eyes, then they pull something off that's really dumb, and then look at the example kids look up to. Let's go through teen stars. Hilary Duff is seen occasionally, but look at "Material Girls". Not exactly a movie to be proud of. Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant at 16. While this is quite common and I'm not saying they're bad people, but they've made mistakes. Next, Lindsay Lohan. Britney Spears. Enough said.

Wasn't there a point when most every one of these stars was Ms. Teen Incredible? Now don't we frown up them? I'm not saying every child star hasn't had a major earth-shattering problem, but these days, aren't more child stars turning into pretentious teens with babies that grew up listening to the same music their parents grew up listening to? I pray every night that in 10 years we won't be watching our kids' icons shave their head and end up in rehab before they can legally drink, but aren't the odds going against them. Is there a parent out there right now that can't be imagining this while they watch this movie?

As for the film itself, I'm not going to say that Miley Cyrus doesn't have a better voice than a large number of celebrity teens that try and start careers with lackluster talent, but is this anything special? I can't help think the same thing with the Jonas Brothers. You've got people like LeAnn Rimes and Jodie Foster that started at least this young an moved on to multi-Grammy and Oscar winning careers. There are few worse things to do than watch wannabe stars parade around pretending they're kings and queens of their worlds. What'll happen when the novelty of these Disney-made stars wears off? They'll never shake that image. 3D special effects were excellent, but the things they effect are so depressing that they're wasted.

I know I'm blunt and agree with the cynical speculators that question what'll happen to these kids, but I can't apologize for what I think.

First, I did not see this movie. My wife took our eight-year-old daughter for a girls' night out and they enjoyed it immensely. And that's the reason to see this movie.

I tried like crazy to get tickets to the concerts, but missed out. While it is clear that this is a "money grab", it's also "sort of" an apology from Disney for messing up the ticketing for the concert. Although $15 is extreme for a 74 minute show, it suited my daughter just fine. She got real-cool 3-D glasses (not the cheap cardboard kind), ate popcorn, spent time with her mom, and got to see Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers perform on stage outside the rather limited format of the Disney show. She couldn't be happier.

So, the way I see it, I saved about $150 plus parking and souvenirs, and about six hours of my life, for the bargain price of $15. If only everything was this easy.

I am not a teen but I fully expected to enjoy this concert film; based on all the hype and my lifelong appreciation of rock music. It was because I appreciate rock music that I hated this piece of trash.

Miley Cyris has no talent AT ALL, her back-up band is REAL loud but otherwise useless, her lyrics (if you can make them out) are heartless and stupid. Smoky Robinson would turn over in his grave, if he were dead. Bill Haley is surely looking down from his Rock in the sky with disgust.

This film could serve as Exhibit #1 as to why God ought end us all in 2008. But, still, this thing is better than the fodder for intellectual empty-heads known as "No Country for Old Men." Honestly, if you MUST choose between Hanna Montana and No Country, STAY HOME. But if you can't then choose Hanna and skip No Country.

Do not waste your time or money on this absolutely terrible Movie! This is an obvious attempt to cash in on the Hannah Montana fame. Unfortunately, she has NO talent! It was painful to watch and the soundtrack is just terrible! This poor kid really has no talent! She is nothing but a Spears wannabe! This definitely is her 15 minutes of fame! A truly complete waste of film! You can tell she lip-synced many of the songs. Stay away and don't waste your money!

There are a lot more talented singers who deserve a look. This is one trashy teenage movie! My daughter really hated this movie! Hannah Montana, I hope your 15 minutes is just about up!
