Hanna Montana - La película

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.

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.

When the film was released in 2009 I was in my early 20's and Miley a Cyrus was becoming the biggest thing In the world. Watching the film 12 years later my thought of the film had changed a lot. When first released I loved the film it's family fun Disney film aimed more at its target audience of preteen girls and teen to young adult girls. Now watching this as a 34 year old I see the film in different eyes.

The film is not a bad film like most people say it is it's a fun family film. It's silly and the acting is not the best but it is what it is.

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.

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.
