Genre: Musical & Performing Arts

US Box Office: $65,138,443

Leaving... Based on the hit Disney television show, HANNAH MONTANA/MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CONCERT TOUR 3-D provides dedicated fans an all-access pass to the Best of Both Worlds concert tour. Leaving behind character Miley Stewart, the concert instead splits time between pop phenom Hannah Montana and Cyrus, who assumes the role of Montana's "ordinary girl" alter ego. Footage of the concert is interspersed with numerous behind-the-scene vignettes. Among these are pre-tour rehearsals--orchestrated by HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL impresario Kenny Ortega--and a touching jam session with father Billy Ray Cyrus. Also included are ecstatic fan testimonials and the film's most humorous moment, in which fathers race each other in high-heeled shoes for the chance to win concert tickets and backstage passes. Montana/Cyrus is joined on stage by the Jonas Brothers, who whip up the crowd with their own brand of high-energy pop. The film employs most of its 3-D tricks in the opening credits then pulls back the reins to focus on giving viewers the next best thing to actually being at the show. Filled with fist-pumping anthems ("Girls Night Out," "Nobody's Perfect," and the title track), BEST OF BOTH WORLDS remains true to the television show's dual personality theme: through good times and bad, every girl is her own superstar. For fans and parents alike, it's a wholesome and empowering message wrapped up in pure infectious fun. [More]

For the teenage girl target market, there is no question the film delivers as it alternates between onstage performances and backstage insights

I found myself imagining boardrooms full of people going over market research about exactly which lime-green sneaker/jean jacket combo will get the maximum pop-lust response from the fans and create the biggest marketing opportunity.

I can't think of a better recommendation for the DVD... than the fact that my two sons wanted to watch it.

I can't help admiring the enthusiasm and musicality Miley Cyrus brings to her routines -- both as Hannah Montana and herself.

"Cyrus is that pageant child often drawn in to the background whenever her dad Billy Ray is on set, and he even manages to attach himself in to her act..."

Parents of younger fans will be pleased to note that although there's lots of jumping about and running around plus enough lipgloss to paint the Forth Bridge, there is not so much as a hint of raunch.

Just weeks after U2's 3D concert movie comes another shameless cash-in.

Little more than a Disney cash-cow entirely wasted on anyone old enough to smoke, drink or vote.

A proper little trouper with enough charisma to render the 3D visuals redundant.

The only highpoint in what amounts to little more than a cynical marketing ploy was that she didn't do a cover of her dad's Achy Breaky Heart.

Anyone under theage of ten won't have a clue what's going on, but it's perfect fodder for its target audience.

There's something adorable about this whole Miley Cyrus phenomenon that appeals to, well, the girl in me.

The movie spectacular to fulfill your little girls' wildest dreams, and at a considerably lower rate than the live concert.
