Reviews for Hannah Montana The Movie
Hannah Montana: The Movie isn't exactly high art, but that's not really the point, is it?
08/30/09
As a fan film, Hannah Montana: The Movie rates a 7 or 8 out of 10, but if you judge it straight-up it's probably closer to a 6.
08/22/09
A tweener-mesmerizing mix of music-induced mass hysteria coupled with some homespun cordiality courtesy of a colorful collection of harmless hicks.
08/20/09
The film is sweet and innocent, just as one might expect. While not horrible, I can't heap praise on it either.
08/19/09
...Hannah Montana: The Movie, its light and empty, cotton candy made out of sugar substitute, not the real sweet deal.
08/16/09
It's predictable, it's overacted, it's little more than a longer version of the TV show -- and it's a guaranteed hit among loyal fans of the fictional pop star.
08/14/09
The way this movie ends is so wrong that it doesn't deserve a pass as frothy entertainment. Why? Because it's actively sending a bad message to kids. [Blu-ray]
08/12/09
You would think after all these decades of making these kinds of movies Disney would do a better job with this, but it really is terrible.
07/16/09
It's wholesome hokum, to be sure, but of a very high standard.
07/03/09
The perfect combination of old and new versions of the American Dream: country girl riding out into the misty wilderness by day, and teen pop phenomenon by night.
07/02/09
A perpetual Disney identity crisis that involves a blonde wig, a prepubescent Vertigo-meets Jekyll and Hyde-meets High School Musical.
06/24/09
Won't shake up the movie world, but it is a family film that's easy enough to like while overlooking the fact it sprouts corn and movie cliches.
06/24/09
Older viewers will find plenty to smile at, even if it is simply recognising that you would have absolutely loved this movie when you were twelve-years-old.
06/23/09
Fans will be ecstatic about Miley's cinematic adventure. For everybody else, the humour will be cheesy, the romance at a primary school level, but this light, nice movie is undeniably likeable all the same.
06/22/09
Kevin Irwin - As cynical exercises in teen marketing go, it's all relatively painless and, whisper it, great fun at times.
05/20/09
The film slips into American schmaltz at times, but it’s really a thing of wonder — an infectious and irresistible fantasy that all the family can enjoy.
05/07/09
The producers thus having their apple pie and eating it.
05/07/09
My own idea of hell on earth but, for girls of a certain age, this is more appealing than just about anything else on the planet.
05/07/09
There’s a predictable plot, a few catchy songs and a shoe fight with Tyra Banks. In short: lazy but functional tween fare.
