Movie Description
After the huge success of HANNAH MONTANA & MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CONCERT, an all-new Hannah Montana adventure cruises to the big screen with this comedy. Hannah's star continues to climb, while Miley is in danger of being lost in the shuffle. To help bring her back to Earth, Miley's dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes her to Crowley Corners, Tennessee, where there's plenty of love and laughter in the air. HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE stars favorites from the TV series as well as Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift.
Peter Chelsom (SERENDIPITY, SHALL WE DANCE?) directs teen superstar Miley Cyrus in this feature that brings the popular Disney Channel character Hannah Montana to the big screen. With a crazy double life in California as an everyday teen with the secret pop-star persona Hannah Montana, Miley Stewart (Cyrus) has forgotten who she really is. To get her back on track, Miley’s dad, Robby Ray Stewart (Miley’s real-life father, Billy Ray Cyrus), decides that she needs some time back on the family farm in Tennessee to celebrate Grandma Ruby’s (Margo Martindale) birthday. At first, Miley is belligerent, but with the help of Travis (Lucas Till), a former childhood crush who now works for Grandma Ruby as a farmhand, she begins to realize what is really important to her.
Cyrus is famous for her girl-next-door personality, easy smile, and mugging for the camera, which abounds in this film. The coming-of-age tale also delves into the trials and tribulations of growing up and dealing with your first love, which is made all the more complicated by her secret superstar life. Till’s Travis is sure to make every teenage girl want her own well-mannered cowboy. Vanessa Williams appears as Miley/Hannah’s pushy publicist and Peter Gunn is a sneaky English journalist intent on getting some dirt on Hannah. Jason Earles and Emily Osment reprise their television roles as Miley’s brother, Jackson, and her best friend, Lilly. Country music fans will enjoy performances from Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, and Billy Ray Cyrus himself. The film also includes 12 new songs from Miley/Hannah.

Editorial Reviews
"[T]here are sufficient pratfalls and Miley/Hannah quick-changes to satisfy the fans, while Cyrus retains that natural, unforced likability that made her a star in the first place."
Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen (04/07/2009)
"Propelled by the younger Cyrus' charisma and undeniable talent....[A] goofily endearing romp that might even lasso a few new fans..."
Variety - Lael Loewenstein (04/09/2009)
“The key to star Miley Cyrus’ appeal is that she’s equal parts pop star and spunky down-home girl.”
USA Today - Claudia Puig (04/10/2009)
“[T]he film allows Cyrus to deliver a solid ingenue performance, shimmering where she needs to shimmer, sassing where she needs to sass and, most important, continuing to offer audiences the image of a lovely but still recognizable real girl onto whom they can project their own dreams.”
Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles Times Critic (04/10/2009)
"If you are a big fan of country music, you will enjoy it for the Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus and of course, Miley Cyrus performances."
Premiere - Variety Staff (04/09/2009)
"Miley Cyrus mixes it up here with something that sounds like real country....The singer-actress has screen presence to spare and a nice, rich voice."
Washington Post (04/10/2009)
