IN BRIEF:

 

HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE is based on the TV series about Miley Stewart, a young teenager who has an alter ego pop star named "Hannah Montana." When the fame starts to go to Miley's head, her father insists they spend two weeks back in their small hometown. Slowly, Miley comes to appreciate her down home roots as well as the local teenage farmhand, Travis. When the town is threatened by a land developer, Miley must bring "Hannah" to town for a benefit concert.

 

HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE is an extremely well made delight for the whole family. While the story treads along predictable ground, it is handled well with a few surprises. Miley Cyrus delivers a fun, yet strongly emotional performance and carries the movie. The movie is heartfelt, with Miley having to choose whether she wants to be the "real" Miley from the small town or the superstar. Family is very important in the story. Also, her father sacrifices a potential romantic relationship for his daughter. The movie is without any negative content. Filled with much fun and music, HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE is a family movie easy to commend.
