DVD Reviews of Hannah Montana: The Movie
DVD Review: A very nice movie that could have been even better!
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't believe that I'm reviewing this movie! But Disney products are hard to avoid. Who else has seen several episodes of the series? It may not be Shakespeare. But the show is usually fun to watch. There should be three rules for movie adaptations of TV series. One, don't just offer us a 90 minute episode. Two, don't contradict what we've already seen on the small screen. Three, don't make a movie that requires knowledge of the TV series. This movie mostly follows two of these rules. The plotline of the series is the same as this movie. Miley Stewart is torn between being a rock star and normal teenager. Sometimes this conflict can be overwhelming. Yet she usually makes both worlds work. The movie opens up with Miley and her best friend Lily frantically rushing to a Hannah Montana concert. I found this part a little unbelievable. By now she should know about being a professional. Also, we've seen Lily backstage in her own disguise as Lola. A lot of the problems with Miley/Hannah come from her new publicist. Vanessa Williams does a great job as this character. But I kept wondering why Robby Ray, Miley's dad/manager didn't just fire her. A later sequence suggests that the publicist doesn't directly work for them. Miley mentions wishing that she could be Hannah all the time. Someone forgot about Disney's wish gone wrong bit. The theme ran through several of their series. Miley, along with Raven, Zack, and Cody, wished on a shooting star. Being Hannah all the time was a nightmare. Incidentally, where is her bodyguard Roxy? Miley blows off the really important people in her life. She misses seeing her brother Jackson leave for college. (The series later had him going closer to home.) She accidentally attends Lily's birthday party as Hannah. That was one of my biggest beefs with this movie. Some of the series actors only get cameos. Mitchel Musso and Moses Arias are two. Note: Arias' character doesn't know her secret. Hannah and Tyra Banks get in a fight over shoes. Then she wants to blow off her grandmother's birthday party for an awards show. Robby Ray's had enough. This could be the end. I imagine that he owns the Hannah character. The plane doesn't land in New York, but back in Tennessee. Jackson's waiting in the truck. Miley gets two weeks to detox from Hannah. During this time she reconnects with her family and old friends. There's her horse BlueJeans. It's too bad no one thought to include some flashbacks. We could have learned more about the Hannah back story. Brooke Shields has played her mom on the series. Her photo is shown in one scene. I have something in common with Miley. One of my grandmothers was also named Ruby. She was from Tennessee! This is her maternal one. Vicki Lawrence has played her paternal one on the series. When Miley is starting to readjust, Hannah comes back. Her home town of Crowley Corners is in financial trouble. A developer wants to change the place big time. Someone suggests a concert. She gets Lily to come help. At one point Lily even pretends to be Hannah. Later we have Miley doing some quick change bits. She's having dinner with the friend, and mayor. Some parts of this movie do fall flat. I didn't care much for the romances. We have Miley reconnecting with an old friend. Robby Ray also finds love. I've often thought that Hannah's secret seemed too open. Her father and even hometown are well known. Various family members have mentioned it a little too openly. One episode had a lookalike cousin, also played by Miley, threaten to expose her. This movie has her grandmother mention it on a public street. Thankfully no one else was close enough to hear. The bit about the tabloid reporter seemed very silly. His having teenage daughters should have been enough for him not to touch it. There are three really good things about this movie. One, we have some nice songs. A few are done by other famous stars. It makes you wonder. Miley Stewart could do what Miley Cyrus has done. Just have two separate musical identities. She wouldn't be the first. Ever heard of Luke the Drifter, Chris Gaines, or even Lester "Roadhog" Moran? Two, there is some beautiful scenery of Tennessee. Who else feels like paying a visit? Three, the chemistry between real-life father and daughter Cyrus is great on the big screen too. There will obviously be no sequel to this movie. The series is currently in its last season. But I hope that we haven't seen the last of Hannah Montana. At the very least, Miley Cyrus should stay true to her youngest fans. She can mature as a performer and still stay family friendly.
