I SAW THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE
PREFACE
Before you read any review of Hannah Montana: The Movie, you must first know the reviewer’s taste before appreciating what he or she has to say. With that in mind, please note that my favorite movies are Pulp Fiction and Mean Girls. I am a 20-something, heterosexual male who watches just as much Gossip Girl as I do Curb Your Enthusiasm. I happily drink beer from a keg and I can tell you the difference between a 3-4 and a 4-3 defense. Bias would be a term rarely used to describe my judgement and taste in popular culture. Just because it stars Miley Cyrus, doesn’t mean I won’t give it a chance to entertain me.
REVIEW
I’ve seen roughly ten episodes of the hit Disney show Hannah Montana. Before seeing the movie, I could tell you that her best friend’s name is Lilly and her name on the show is Miley Stewart, not Cyrus – and that’s about as far as my Montana knowledge goes.
Hannah Montana: The Movie is highly entertaining and every adult who sees this movie will be hard pressed not to love the down-to-earth protagonist, Miley Stewart. There’s a reason that Miley Cyrus is famous, and as hard as you try, you still can’t justify why you hate her.
It’s not the Hannah Montana TV show expanded into a 90-minute episode – it’s a heart-felt movie that happens to have the same characters as its television counterpart.
The movie is fast-paced and you’ll secretly love it just as much as your kids or your spouse or your girlfriend. You’ll be unwillingly dragged into what you think will be 90 minutes of torture, and walk out singing “The Climb” under your breath.
When your girlfriend asks you to go see the Hannah Montana Movie with her, here’s your chance to quietly score some brownie points. Even though you read on TSF that it’s enjoyable, still act as if you’re doing her a favor. It will help your relationship in the long run, and not be a waste of your Saturday night. You can thank me later.
I’m not going to give this movie the usual “out of ten” rating, because it’s relativity to the other films I rate just doesn’t equate. It’s entertainment value out of ten? a 9. Maybe a 10 if Taylor Swift had a bigger role…
Don’t tell my friends I liked it.
OSCARS: UNDERDOG, FUNNY, WTF, HOT
UNDERDOG MILLIONAIRE
Slumdog Millionaire was the little movie that couldn’t, but did, and took home Best Picture and 7 other awards including best director for Danny Boyle. It’s best song award deserves an asterisk next to it due to the fact that Bruce Springsteen’s “The Wrestler” wasn’t even nominated, thus making the entire category moot. The Slumdog dude who won best song doesn’t even deserve to wipe Springsteen’s ass with his bare hand and anyone with musical taste knows this. Biggest snub by far of the night.
HOTTEST CHICK OF THE NIGHT
Newcomer and Slumdog star Freida Pinto wins. For more photo evidence, click thumbnails.
YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS
The Hannah Montana movie comes out in April and when asked about it, Miley Cyrus defined delusion and said she hopes it will bring her back to the Oscars next year: “I can’t wait, hopefully I will be getting [an award] for it next year”. She then tries convince the American public that the Hannah Montana movie is “a lot more real and a lot deeper than people would expect”. The guy interviewing her deserves a god damn Pulitzer for not laughing right in her face.
BEST MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
Ben Stiller’s satire of the new Joaquin Phoenix as seen here.
This year’s Oscars was the best that I have ever seen. From the stage to Hugh Jackman and the great way they presented the best supporting and best actor/actress awards – all we can do is hope that other awards shows take notice and try not to suck so hard. I don’t want to name any names but it starts with a G and ends with rammy’s.
Vicki, Cristina, Barcelona was the best movie of ‘08, FYI.
