Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana’s soaring popularity threatens to take over her life – she might just let it. So her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes the teen home to Tennessee for a dose of reality, kicking off with an adventure filled with the kind of fun, laughter and romance even Hannah Montana couldn’t imagine!
BBFC advice: Contains no material likely to offend or harm
“Extolling the virtues of honesty, decency, friendship and family while portraying capitalism as the root of all evil, this big-screen outing for Disney's latest pop princess is a wholesome treat for her legions of young fans.… Anyone old enough to have a National Insurance number may find this determinedly formulaic fan-pleaser like sticking their heads in a candy-floss machine before being dragged through a field of corn. Its key comedy sequence is ripped off from Mrs Doubtfire - never an encouraging sign. And to say that it's a showcase for the singing talents of its young star, some of the lip-synching is decidedly off. Still, it looks great and, more importantly, gives the kids exactly what they want - bags of slapstick, a barnful of toe-tapping numbers, and a relentlessly peppy turn from a globe-conquering cutie who really is a legend on her own lunchbox.”
