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

Falls flat as a contrived drama and dull, vapid comedy. Only easily pleased fans of Miley Cyrus will find it to be mildly amusing and harmless, but everyone else will often be painfully bored and wish that it were over sooner.
I'm almost embarrassed at how entertained I was.
Like the girl at its center, Hannah Montana The Movie ain't perfect, but it sure is likable, and a whole lot of fun.
Hannah's music and Miley's romance are sure to wow tweens.
I’m not much of a fan of the whole Hannah thing, but it’s pretty clear that young Miss Cyrus is the real deal.
Cyrus is energetic and appealing on the big screen, and she comes across as singularly unimpressed with herself.
The rest of the time it's up to Cyrus to keep things light, and her undeniable charisma radiates from the big screen as strongly as it does on the small one.
Assorted conflicts and adventures ensue, and the movie overall is painless if not exactly electrifying.
Mawkish but energized.
If you're no longer old enough to carry a Hannah Montana lunch box, this movie will feel like punishment.
Improbably entertaining.
Asked to anchor a full-length movie, she simply doesn't have the chops to pull it off.
Who cares if it gives anyone over the age of 12 a headache? The state of Hannah Montana is little-girl paradise.
As critic-proof as they come, Hannah Montana: The Movie is sure to delight the tweenagers who adore the Disney Channel series.
I found myself caught up in the pure, joyful sort of innocence of the story. Granted, it's a story that doesn't make a lick of sense to the outside world...
A fun musical with the spiritual messages that the journey is what matters and who we are has a lot to do with where we come from.
Parental Content Review
It's not detestable and won't give you food poisoning, however, it's another one of those movies that is just bland and reaches for nothing more than mediocre.
The most surprising thing about Hannah Montana is not how it breaks out of its clichéd constraints, but how high it flies in spite of them.
I may be putting my career on the line for this but this movie was enjoyable, well directed and well acted.
