Movie review
From Time Out London
First a little background: Hannah Montana is both the name of a Disney Channel show and the fictitious moniker used by MOR country singer Billy Ray Cyrus’s 16-year-old daughter, Miley. Aside from her TV acting career, Miley’s also a singer, though you wouldn’t know it from watching this puffed-up 3D concert film of her (corporate) sell-out US tour. We’re talking vapidity on a grand scale.The songs are of such puerile, clichéd nothingness, they had me ripping the stuffing from the cinema’s seats. After the fifth song – at the same tempo – I resorted to eating it. To give her some credit, she’s a gregarious (albeit talentless) girl who knows how to play her audience. But then she has been coached in the art of contrivance, as we discover during a couple of pre-concert rehearsal scenes.
Honestly, the whole thing washed over me in a foggy malaise of flashing lights and cornily choreographed set pieces. And I wasn’t the only one to feel the effect; even the two knowledgeable 11-year-old kids I took along were left feeling equally shell shocked.

- Posted on Mar 31 2008 19:58 Hannah Montana is really cool, I am going to see the film on thursday with my friends. Maybe if you hired film critics that were young enough to appreciate young talent, they wouldn't write such stupid reviews! My Mum thinks she's good, rock on mum!
