Hannah Montana movie

My eldest child asked me to post a review of the Hannah Montana movie that we saw today....so here goes. First, here is a trailer for the movie:



If you haven't heard of Hannah Montana, you must be living under a rock. Wait.....maybe there are some rock-dwellers reading this & that sounds offensive. ha ha! Seriously, here's the story.

Miley Cyrus (Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter) is a teen pop/country star right now has a TV show where she plays Miley Stewart. (Yes, her character's first name is the same as her own.) Her character is a pop star, who wants to maintain a 'regular' teen life in her Southern California home, so by day she is herself--Miley Stewart -- but at night, she can live her celebrity pop star life under a different name & identity--Hannah Montana. Hannah wears a blonde wig & flashier clothes than Miley, so she's able to pull off the double life without people knowing.

On the TV show, she has moved to California from Tennessee where she lived in the country on a farm with her family. She's always enjoyed singing so when her mom dies, her remaining family (father, brother & her) move to California for her to pursue her career in music. That's where the double life comes in.

The movie is the same as her TV show -- same characters & storyline. She has gotten a little out of hand & diva-ish, so her dad decides that it's time to go home (to Tennessee) for a couple weeks & do a "Hannah detox". She thinks she's going to New York & is shocked when she steps off the plane & sees a cow in the pasture.

The movie follows Miley through 2 weeks of country-fied humor & family togetherness as Miley moves from bratty pop star to girl who finds her love for the country & all the people there once again. The question arises---does she go back to California & pursue her life as Hannah/Miley or does she give it all up & return to her 'home' and leave Hannah behind for good?

I won't tell you how the movie ends, but suffice it to say......if you're even half a fan of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, you'll love the movie. It's very clean & sweet.
