Professional duty compelled me to sit through last year's Hannah Montana 3D concert film, so I speak with authority when I say this is mildly more endurable, if only because there are fewer songs.

Consensus: While youthful Miley fans won't complain, Hannah Montana the Movie is little more than a formulaic Disney Channel episode stretched thin.

Reviews for Hannah Montana The Movie
The script ... jumps through the requisite sitcom hoops, setting up such wacky situations as having Miley and Hannah show up in the same place.

In Hannah Montana: The Movie, Miley Cyrus gets back to her roots, re-learns the importance of family, and purges herself of the poisons of materialism. For a minute.

Good grief. The same guy who directed this also helmed one of my favorite movies.
04/18/09
The film is absolutely functional, and deserves no praise greater than "it's no worse than it ought to be".
04/15/09
'Real life' as envisioned by folks whose idea of such was obviously cobbled together from the more backward examples of 1950s sitcoms.
04/15/09
Nice, clean entertainment but maybe too sweet for anyone over twelve
04/14/09
Hannah Montana fans will be in hog heaven over this country-fried fun.
04/13/09
Cyrus, as always, is a professional charmer (it's hard to resist when she leads a hip-hop hoedown), and the crusty folkiness of Billy Ray Cyrus as her real-life dad is as welcome as ever.
04/13/09
The bottom line is that I don’t think you are going to care.

Aside from a few cameos and a big benefit concert to save her hometown from evil land developers, there’s nothing really that makes the movie stand out from the TV show.
04/13/09
It's a pretty dumb, predictable story, but for a ten year-old girl, the target audience, Hannah Montana: The Movie is good, clean G-rated fun without so much as one wet kiss.
04/13/09
If you're old enough to drive yourself to the theater, this is not for you. But if you have a 'tween girl living in your household, for her, it's a must-see.
04/11/09
...plays like a cornball extension of Miley's terminally cutesy televised vehicle. Sadly, it's not the best of both worlds for Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana in this jagged juvenile farce.
04/11/09
The Easter Bunny will have to share the weekend spotlight with 16-year-old pop culture sensation Miley Cyrus. This movie will touch your heart and provide surprises as you watch this country girl just having fun.
04/10/09
More Hee Haw than ha ha (kids, ask your parents or grandparents) Hannah Montana: The Movie is like the Hannah Montana TV show only longer. Way longer.
04/10/09
This film isn't out to win over the Internet fanboy audience. I'ts not out to find new supporters in the New York art houses. It's all about giving the fans what they want.
04/10/09
'If you guys don't mind, I'm gonna add a little hip-hop to this hoedown,' announces Miley, contributing a quote to the culture that needs to be sampled, pronto...
04/10/09
Thin as a flip-flop and as complicated as a scrunchy, the plot is barely enough for half a movie. At the 45-minute point, things are pretty much wrapped up.
04/10/09
..family entertainment in the best sense, in that it's not something adults would watch on their own, but it's not something they have to endure in pain, either.
