Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009)





director: Peter Chelsom

writer: Dan Berendsen

starring: Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Vanessa Williams

genre: Family, Music









Let me begin by saying, this film was not made for me. I am not its audience. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t see what’s the whole fuss over Hannah Montana. Why do little girls go crazy for her? Also as a reviewer you have to give your opinion on everything from great films to boring films and to silly school girl stuff.


The film is about Miley Stuart/Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) and how her double life of being pop star and little girl is making her be a bad girl and acting out. The media are after her and want to find out Hannah Montana's secret. After her terrible moods, her dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) has the idea that a trip to grandmas and her roots will do the trick. But the media is still on her trail. Then the film drastically changes gear for no reason and now its Hannah job to save the town from the big bad corporation out to make a mall in the great meadows of her granny’s hometown. She finally does save the town and accepts her life as living the best of both worlds At the same time the whole town finds out who she is and accepts it and will keep the secret safe.


The whole film is about a secret. Which the audience knows already the secret but her world doesn't . Seems like the stupidity with Clark Kent and Superman don’t people see the resemblance of Hannah Montana and Miley Stuart. Another problem is the films humor. The best kid’s films are the ones that can make adults laugh like Finding Nemo. Humor is non existent in a few words and any drama scenes are a let down. Of course due to how stupid Hannah Montana is. My confusion is why little girls love her? Is Hannah Montana such interesting character? Not really. She possesses no interesting characteristics. Also why would anyone believe that a whole town would keep a secret like that. As if people our that kind and genuine in a world that is lead by greed and jealousy.


The one good thing about the film is that they don’t try to portray Hannah Montana as a whore. Our culture today has gone to these lengths were fashion and society need to make public figures sexy. So little girls can be jealous of people like Paris Hilton. But what did I expect from the Disney channel. They will never cross that line but they will allow children to follow a girl who sings terrible music, who continuously ends up in moronic situations and lets little girls think that it’s correct to live double lives. Don’t we all know that double lives only lead to trouble.


Like a said in the beginning this film was not for me. But I still can’t understand why children would be a fan of this. Hope one day they will realize how amateur and lame Hannah Montana is. I don’t advise any parent to let their kids see Hannah Montana there is far better entertainment for children out there. Aliens vs Monsters is far better choice in family entertainment. Even watching Power Rangers would be quite better.
