What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald It's wholesome hokum, to be sure, but of a very high standard. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) A perpetual Disney identity crisis that involves a blonde wig, a prepubescent Vertigo-meets Jekyll and Hyde-meets High School Musical. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 24, 2009 Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine There's a predictable plot, a few catchy songs and a shoe fight with Tyra Banks. In short: lazy but functional tween fare. Rated: 2/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com If you have no idea what all the fuss is about, or groan at the mere mention of Montana then there's nothing here that will even remotely change your mind. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens This is not a kid's movie or a teen/tween movie. This is a family movie with something every generation, every member of a family can relate to in some capacity. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News I really think Hannah Montana had some slight potential to be more than just a lovefest for its fans. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Rated: C- May 16, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Diana H I loved this movie and the show as a little girl. Got me through being home alone most of the time, I was such a big fan of Hannah montana! Don't care about the bad reviews, most of them are through adult view points. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Donavin D I didn’t personally grow up with Hannah Montana, so I approached the movie as objectively as I could. Aside from a few catchy songs, though, it doesn’t offer much if you’re not already a big fan of the character or the show. My issues boil down to two main points. First, Oswald, played by Peter Gunn, is completely unnecessary. As the supposed main antagonist, his presence has almost no impact on the story, and removing him wouldn’t change the plot at all—kind of a problem for any character, but especially for the villain. Second, Hannah herself is terrible. Throughout the film, she’s selfish, lies to her love interest, mistreats her friend, and shows little interest in her family. Aside from a last-minute “twist,” she doesn’t learn or grow in a meaningful way, which makes it difficult to connect with or root for her. I understand why longtime fans of the show or the music might feel nostalgic for it, but for someone without that attachment, it’s hard to find much value here. The songs are fun, but the lack of a compelling story or likable characters makes this feel like the bleh of both worlds. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Murray M It was so boring I would rather staple my balls to the ceiling and dangle like a French chandelier than watch it again so i can actually feel something. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Francisco B La mejor película de la historia dios bendiga a Hannah Montana Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Lisa K Let me tell you my queen this is one of my favorites ! I love Hannah Montana and you definitely would if you love fun, musical type of movies with singing, and just a tab bit of romance this is the movie for you. It is family friendly and amazing for anyone who is grand. Watch this movie NOW! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
