Critics Consensus

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

It's wholesome hokum, to be sure, but of a very high standard.

Rated: 3/5

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
