Excellent but underrated film

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Given that the entire Hannah Montana franchise is for kids and/or pre-teens, then I never actually have seen anything from it aside from the merchandise in stores. Then one day in 2015 they showed the movie on TV, and I decided to hang around to watch it as there was nothing else worthwhile watching.And I must say that I was quite surprised with it. The story was actually quite OK, keeping in mind the target audience. And Miley Cyrus actually performed quite well.Without being familiar with the TV series, then I can say that "Hannah Montana: The Movie" was a fun and entertaining movie that can be watched regardless of your age. Sugar-coated and predictable, yes, but still fun enough.As for the cast, well they were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. The most familiar faces were Barry Bostwick and Vanessa Williams, who could, in my opinion, have been given more screen time.This movie did tear down some assumption-based opinions about the franchise for me, although I don't plan to watch the series just because the movie was better than anticipated.

People need to get down off their high horse and sit down and watch this terrific movie. The story of a selfish girl who needs to remember who she really is has been told before, I guess, but not this well. This movie has a warmth that you might not expect. It shows that lies can hurt the ones you love and the power of forgiveness. Miley Cyrus may be running amok right now but that doesn't take away from the fact that she is a gifted performer.(Just watch her appearances on SNL.) The soundtrack is great. One great song after another. The only demerit that I would give this movie is that the slapstick jokes are a little clunky.

I just want to start of by saying that this was not an all bad movie. I am a 20 year old male, and maybe like some of you I love to watch movies in all shapes, forms and colors. This movie has had a lot of complaint, on this forum as well as others. Well as many others have stated before me, its target audience is not adults! So if you don't get it, don't beat yourself up about it. Another complaint has been Mileys (and maybe others) acting in this movie. I can agree that on the show Hannah Montana they lack great acting (Except maybe Mitchel Musso and Mosies Arias). But in this movie the acting was nothing half bad. In fact I find the acting good. There isn't much to blame. I mean Miley Cyrus plays Miley Stewart, a character based on her and Billy Ray plays Robbie Ray who is also based on him. They play as themselves and no one is too much or to short on acting. The plot is decent enough simple for a children's movie but although not very original.It's a feel good film with good messenges about the ups and downs of things, and as the whole show it deals with "To follow your heart" and "Do the right thing". Might not be original, but messenges like it is needed, because although over exposed very few people follow the advice. I know watching Hannah Montana as a whole has changed me in many ways even though I always "hated" it all before I actually took time to watch it. I recommend the move to all ages and sexes but keep an open mind and think hard about what is said and you might come out wiser than before.

Sure its not Oscar worthy but hey I thought it was a nice film all about where you come from and that family is important NOT fame. The movie is based on the TV series of the same name. In the film version Miley Stewart's double life as a popstar named Hannah Montana takes over her life and she forgets the one thing thats important family. So her dad brings her back to Tennessee where she learns who she is as a ordinary teenager and not as her alter ego Hannah Montana. As she spends some quality time back in her old hometown she must choose who she wants to be Hannah or Miley?. The ending to this was awful but having said that I thought it was a nice film and Miley Cryus was great in it. The songs were great and the setting of Tennessee is outstanding.
