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.

A very good one off film set during the still then present TV series about the impact that Hannah Montana has made on Miley Cyrus’ personal life. A heartfelt emotional super fan type film following Miley back to her home town to find her footing again that the overwhelming fame has taken from her. The plot execution could have been slowed down a bit more to document the details a bit more of her finding her home town soul, but it was a made for TV movie after all. The character analysis could have been better too by going deeper into some characters like the grandma, but still executed well.
