 3/5 |
It's wholesome hokum, to be sure, but of a very high standard. Full Review |
||
 2.5/5 |
A perpetual Disney identity crisis that involves a blonde wig, a prepubescent Vertigo-meets Jekyll and Hyde-meets High School Musical. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Won't shake up the movie world, but it is a family film that's easy enough to like while overlooking the fact it sprouts corn and movie cliches. Full Review |

Older viewers will find plenty to smile at, even if it is simply recognising that you would have absolutely loved this movie when you were twelve-years-old. Full Review |

4/5 |
Fans will be ecstatic about Miley's cinematic adventure. For everybody else, the humour will be cheesy, the romance at a primary school level, but this light, nice movie is undeniably likeable all the same. Full Review |

2/4 |
Best approached as a test as to whether Cyrus has a future career once the hype inevitably blows out. And the answer is... Full Review |

Hannah Montana: The Movie isn't exactly high art, but that's not really the point, is it? Full Review |
||
|
6/10 |
As a fan film, Hannah Montana: The Movie rates a 7 or 8 out of 10, but if you judge it straight-up it's probably closer to a 6. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
A tweener-mesmerizing mix of music-induced mass hysteria coupled with some homespun cordiality courtesy of a colorful collection of harmless hicks. Full Review |

|

The film is sweet and innocent, just as one might expect. While not horrible, I can't heap praise on it either. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
...Hannah Montana: The Movie, its light and empty, cotton candy made out of sugar substitute, not the real sweet deal. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
It's predictable, it's overacted, it's little more than a longer version of the TV show -- and it's a guaranteed hit among loyal fans of the fictional pop star. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
The way this movie ends is so wrong that it doesn't deserve a pass as frothy entertainment. Why? Because it's actively sending a bad message to kids. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

You would think after all these decades of making these kinds of movies Disney would do a better job with this, but it really is terrible. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
The perfect combination of old and new versions of the American Dream: country girl riding out into the misty wilderness by day, and teen pop phenomenon by night. Full Review |
||
|
5/5 |
Kevin Irwin - As cynical exercises in teen marketing go, it's all relatively painless and, whisper it, great fun at times. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
The film slips into American schmaltz at times, but it’s really a thing of wonder — an infectious and irresistible fantasy that all the family can enjoy. Full Review |

The producers thus having their apple pie and eating it. Full Review |

|
|
My own idea of hell on earth but, for girls of a certain age, this is more appealing than just about anything else on the planet. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
There’s a predictable plot, a few catchy songs and a shoe fight with Tyra Banks. In short: lazy but functional tween fare. Full Review |
