Hannah Montana: The Movie

While I kind of liked the Hannah Montana 3-D movie (mostly because it was in 3-D), this one left me cold. When Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) gets a little too caught up in her Hannah Montana rock-star alter ego, her dad (Billy Ray Cyrus, aka Satan) tricks her into going home to Tennessee, where she falls off horses and chicken coops and stuff like that. The movie comes to life when Cyrus sings (although the hip-hoppy “Hoedown Throwdown” is tedious), but it gets lame when it deals with drama. Too bad, because there’s a sweet movie in here somewhere, trying to get out. I wonder how long Cyrus is going to ride the Hannah Montana train, especially after the box-office success of this film. Will a 40-year old Hannah Montana work? I want to see a movie about Miley’s war with Radiohead.
