Hannah Montana goes more than a little bit country for her first (nonconcert) big-screen outing, and the resulting Nashville/bubble gum fusion doesn’t necessarily represent the best of both worlds.

Not that the tweens will mind the twang. “Hannah Montana: The Movie” is a can’t-miss proposition for Disney, which is smartly striking while the iron is still reasonably hot.

It likely won’t match last year’s $31.1 million opening registered by Miley’s all-singing “Best of Both Worlds,” but Cyrus’ enthusiastic fan base should ensure brisk spring break business.

The setup finds Miley Stewart (Cyrus) becoming a little too attached her pop-star alter ego, much to the concern of her daddy (Billy Ray Cyrus), who orchestrates an intervention by taking a surprise trip back to her old Crowley Corners, Tennessee home.

Despite her initial protests, Miley gets into the swing of things, swapping glitter for gingham and striking up a potential romance with an aw-shucks cowboy (Lucas Till).

But just when she’s prepared to leave Hannah behind, along comes a greedy developer (Barry Bostwick) with plans to turn Main Street into a mall, and only one person comes to mind for a big benefit concert that will keep Crowley Corners’ corners intact.

When you get right down to it, Miley’s trek to Tennessee brings to mind the one taken by the Ricardos and the Mertzes when they met up with Cousin Ernie.

While that was over half a century ago, director Peter Chelsom (“Hear My Song,” “Shall We Dance”) and screenwriter Dan Berendsen (“Cheetah Girls: One World”), pretty much serve up the same brand of cornpone.

That’s still preferable to misguided attempts at marrying Hannah’s contemporary pop/hip-hop sound with the Grand Ole Opry, as with the squirm-inducing “Hoedown Throwdown” (don’t ask), or extended scenes of deep introspection that bring things down to a snail’s crawl.

Still, there 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.

In addition to series regulars papa Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles, there’s Vanessa Williams as Hannah’s overzealous publicist (doing a variation on her “Ugly Betty” character), British actor Peter Gunn as a relentless tabloid reporter and a solid-as-usual Margo Martindale as Miley’s salt-of-the-earth Grandma Ruby.

Rounding out the obligatory Cyrus songs, including the tender Glen Ballard/Alan Silvestri ballad “Butterfly Fly Away,” a duet with her dad, are “live” performances by Rascal Flatts and teen country crossover sensation Taylor Swift, who — see ya, Hannah — apparently is the person Miley Cyrus really wants to be when she grows up.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

Even if you live in a cave or loathe little girls, you've probably heard of Hannah Montana.

By Lael Loewenstein

Even if you live in a cave or loathe little girls, you’ve probably heard of Hannah Montana . The pop-star alter ego of regular gal Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) and the title character of the wildly popular Disney Channel series sashays back to the bigscreen without missing a beat in “Hannah Montana: The Movie .” Widely accessible even to neophytes, the G-rated pic is innocuous fare that should score big with tween girls, as well as those parents seeking age-appropriate role models for their daughters.

The pic’s theatrical release — sandwiched between Cyrus’ sold-out 2008 tour and 3-D concert film, and the upcoming publication of her memoirs (at age 16) — seems poised to maximize existing Miley-mania. (Her stardom has long since eclipsed that of her dad, country star Billy Ray Cyrus). Propelled by the younger Cyrus’ charisma and undeniable talent, the Peter Chelsom-helmed film looks to be another smart move in a career thoughtfully shepherded by her father.

Popular on Variety

A kind of meta-commentary, at least in part, on the “Hannah” phenomenon, the pic kicks off with Miley trying to get into a concert — her own –with best pal Lilly (Emily Osment), while Miley’s dad Robby Ray ( Billy Ray Cyrus , of course) fumes backstage over her late arrival. Hijacking a golf cart, the girls zoom past clueless security guards (unaware, like everyone else, that Miley and Hannah are the same girl), greet Dad and transform mild-mannered Miley into Hannah (with the help of blonde wig, false lashes, sequins and heels) in time for her show.

Busy moonlighting in Hannah Montana musicvideos and jetting off to awards shows, Miley barely has time for friends or family anymore; the Hannah character and celebrity obligations have overtaken her life. After Miley/Hannah nearly ruins Lilly’s sweet-16 bash and is a no-show at her brother Jackson’s (Jason Earles) college sendoff, Robby Ray hauls her off to Tennessee for a dose of reality, promising to turn the pampered Malibu starlet back into a country girl.

Despite Miley’s strenuous objections, Dad insists she’ll have to spend two weeks in rural Crowley’s Corners, helping on the farm owned by her no-nonsense grandma (Margo Martindale). After much initial grousing, Miley begins to warm to the task. It doesn’t hurt that there’s a cute (but entirely nonthreatening) ranch hand named Travis (Lucas Till) around, or that widower Robby Ray has caught the eye of the lovely Lorelai ( Melora Hardin ).

But of course, villains of the G-rated variety lurk nearby: an aggressive tabloid journalist (Peter Gunn), grasping for dirt on Hannah; and a greedy developer (Barry Bostwick) who plans to turn Crowley’s Corners into a shopping destination. (“Will there be a Bloomingdale’s?” Miley asks hopefully, before realizing a mall would extinguish Crowley’s small-town charm.)

Mayhem and pratfalls ensue at the expense of these two baddies, including the old hot/mild sauce switcheroo and a couple of nips by a hungry alligator; all the hijinks are played for laughs and, while bordering on tedious, will appeal especially to younger audiences. Several pleasing musical numbers act to both advance the story and help bridge gaps, including a rousing, toe-tapping, line-dancing hoedown led by Miley in an effort to raise funds to stave off the developer. But apparently, only a concert by Hannah Montana herself — engineered by Miley, her publicist (Vanessa Williams) and Lilly — can command the kind of audience that might save the town.

An 11th-hour identity crisis has Miley/Hannah trying to figure out who she really wants to be, and settling on a compromise that should ultimately satisfy her fans. The same is certainly true of the pic, a goofily endearing romp that might even lasso a few new fans.

Tech values are fine; lensing by David Hennings complements colorful production design credited to Caroline Hanania.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

A s a middle-aged male, I am of course more at home seated in the prostate clinic waiting room than in the audience for the new Hannah Montana movie. Anyway, here I am, bringing to this frothy film the same instinctive empathy and understanding that an Inuk might have on watching the Roulette channel.

British-born Peter Chelsom directs the Disney Channel spinoff. Teen pop sensation Hannah Montana has a secret double-life as ordinary high-school student Miley Stewart; her manager is also her dad, Billy Ray Stewart, and they are played by real-life father and daughter combo Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus.

This parent-child love story, glancingly expressed through the potent medium of country music, often had me wondering if anyone in the cinema had a number for Tennessee social services. The big success is Miley's Hoedown Throwdown, reprised over the closing credits.

Hannah Montana: The Movie Reviews

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

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.

Full Review | Nov 13, 2019

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.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | May 16, 2019

These elements are exactly what will have the show's rabid preteen fans turning out by the busloads on opening weekend, not to mention have parents breathing a sigh of relief.

Full Review | Mar 3, 2019

It's true that legions of fans won't likely find the reality traumatizing once they are old enough to finally grasp it. Nevertheless, the film is hypocritical in the moral lesson it attempts to impart.

Full Review | Oct 7, 2015

...a generic coming-of-age teen drama...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 19, 2014

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Basically super-sizes the formula of the successful television series for a Hannah-hungry audience of multiplex moppets.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 3, 2011

...More bittersweet, even melancholy, than it has any right to be.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 15, 2010

Best approached as a test as to whether Cyrus has a future career once the hype inevitably blows out. And the answer is...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 13, 2009

Hannah Montana: The Movie isn't exactly high art, but that's not really the point, is it?

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2009

As a fan film, Hannah Montana: The Movie rates a 7 or 8 out of 10, but if you judge it straight-up it's probably closer to a 6.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 22, 2009

A tweener-mesmerizing mix of music-induced mass hysteria coupled with some homespun cordiality courtesy of a colorful collection of harmless hicks.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 20, 2009

The film is sweet and innocent, just as one might expect. While not horrible, I can't heap praise on it either.

Full Review | Aug 19, 2009

...Hannah Montana: The Movie, its light and empty, cotton candy made out of sugar substitute, not the real sweet deal.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2009

It's predictable, it's overacted, it's little more than a longer version of the TV show -- and it's a guaranteed hit among loyal fans of the fictional pop star.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 14, 2009

Movie Review

Miley Stewart is just an average teen who goes to an average school. She has an average (goofy) brother, an average (groan-inducing joke-cracking) dad and average friends. But add a dab of blush and a blonde wig and KAPOW! she’s a rock star.

She’s Hannah Montana.

Living that kind of secret dual existence can be pretty fun, she thinks. Like being Superman—but with backup singers and a band.

Lately, though, it’s a little tough for mild-mannered Miley to take off her superstar bob. Wrestling with Tyra Banks over one-of-a-kind designer shoes can take up so much time. And that’s only one of the many events that keep those flashbulbs popping.

But when Miley’s dad, Robby Ray, sees the celebrity lifestyle changing his little girl into someone he no longer recognizes, he takes the reins into his own hands. And the family gallops back home to Crowley Corners, Tenn., for a two-week dose of Hannah-free reality.

(Of course, life in this little imaginary town isn’t all that rough. Taylor Swift and the guys from Rascal Flatts live just down the street.)

It’s not easy for the limelight-addicted teen to adjust, but she starts to see the advantages that a more sane home life can hold—including the possibility of an oh-so-cute country boyfriend. Even her widower dad meets a pretty love interest.

Oops! Here come the paparazzi.

Positive Elements

Miley is petulant and angry when she first learns of her dad’s plan to give her a break from her career. “I think we might be done,” Robby Ray tells his daughter. She yells back, “Hannah means everything to me!” Dad replies, “And that just might be the problem.” But even in the midst of the turmoil, the bond between them stays solid. Miley ultimately apologizes for her choices and rebellious attitude, and she sings Dad a song praising his love and hard work as a single father.

Although he sometimes seems oblivious to Miley’s schemes (how else could she wind up in so many crazy predicaments), Robby Ray always approaches her with a loving and instructive hand. Likewise, Grandma Ruby is a caring and wise matriarch. She openly expresses her love for both her son and granddaughter. She gives Miley a necklace that belonged to the girl’s mother, telling the teen that her mother would be proud of her.

In fact, the whole town of Crowley Corners appears to be made up of people who care for one another and go out of their way to help. Providing contrast to the fast-paced, publicity-hungry craziness of L.A., Middle America is presented as easygoing, healthy and happy.

Throughout their relationship, Miley’s boyfriend, Travis, is a gentleman. He says that he’s drawn to Miley’s heart over Hannah’s stardom.

Spiritual Elements

According to a song lyric, “God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.”

Sexual Content

Teenagers now, Miley and her friend Lilly have a few more curves than they did in the early days of the TV version of Hannah Montana . And while never going for broke, the two accent those new teen lines with shorter shorts and form-fitting—low-cut—tank tops. Hannah usually wears short skirts onstage. Travis and Miley jump (clothed) into a pond on a couple of occasions; he takes his shirt off once.

Miley’s Hollywood manager wears cleavage-revealing outfits. Taylor Swift wears a shoulder-baring top. Girls in bikinis are seen on the beach. And women dancing in a local restaurant/club wear low-cut tops. Miley and Travis share a brief kiss, as do Robby Ray and his date.

Violent Content

Stumble-footed pratfalls are mostly carried out by Miley or a nosy reporter named Oswald Granger. Miley, for instance, trips over fences, tumbles off chicken coops and gets bonked on the head with everything from a volleyball to a coconut. Granger crashes through a table after skidding on a pile of walnuts. He somersaults down a hillside to land face-first in a mud hole. Robby Ray, meanwhile, smashes Grandma Ruby’s collection of painted plates. And a banquet table is set on fire.

Less funny, even though it’s still played for laughs, is a scene in which Miley’s brother Jackson narrowly avoids becoming an alligator snack. Jackson is also bitten by a ferret scampering around in his trousers.

Crude or Profane Language

One exclamation each of “oh my god” and “oh lord.” Characters also say “jeez,” “gosh,” “heck” and “dang.”

Drug and Alcohol Content

Other negative elements.

To punk a nosy reporter, Miley switches sample bowls of salsa so he gets a mouthful of super-hot instead of sweet and mild. (She never swaps them back, either, so all we can do is hope some little old lady isn’t the next to grab a chip!) Then she lets down the tailgate of a pickup truck, sending an entire bed full of walnuts rolling down the road for people to fall on. It’s funny, playful stuff … unless you’re the owner of the walnut truck. In the movies it’s mischief, but in real life, maybe vandalism on a police report if anyone bothers to file one.

There’s also lying and deception throughout the film, not just from Miley, but also from friends and family trying to protect her Hannah secret.

Well, if there’s one thing as certain as hounds lovin’ naps in the sunshine, it’s that there won’t be any acting awards handed out for Hannah Montana: The Movie . But, of course, since this lightweight adaptation of the lightweight Disney Channel series looks to be a surefire tween magnet (remember Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert ?), I’m sure nobody prone to wearing mouse ears is going to sweat that little detail.

After all, Miley Stewart ‘s trip back to Tennessee is simply a goofy lark designed to give adoring fans a chance to visualize themselves romping around in Miley Cyrus ‘ place. Giggling girls in audiences around the world will see themselves riding next to that handsome young cowpoke. They’ll imagine the fun of pratfalling their way through campy slapstick, and singing and dancing their way to cornpone glee.

I’m a dad. I have a girl. So I understand all that. I can even accept it. But there was something, nonetheless, that made me flinch a bit while I watched this movie:

Throughout the story, Robby Ray tries to make sure the average, girl-next-door sweetness of his teen daughter’s personality isn’t overwhelmed by her ritz-and-glitz rockin’ Hannah side. And even Miley realizes that average and sweet aren’t all that bad. But just as she’s about ready to choose brunette ponytails over all the pomp, the cheering throng convinces her that her life could never be “normal” without Ms. Montana’s golden locks.

That’s when my movie reviewer hat suddenly fell off and somebody rammed my dad hat down into place. I sat up a bit straighter and thought, “Oh, really?” Does life need to include cheering crowds to be happy? Can’t a loving family and good buds be plenty? And isn’t that, in a way, what Miley Cyrus is wrestling with right now? It appears from the outside that even she is wondering “How much of this glitz do I embrace?” as she sometimes tiptoes and sometimes stomps around her own kind of double life.

In a recent Associated Press interview, Cyrus was asked what kids should do if they’re torn between pursuing an acting dream or going to college. The article reported that with her usual “unfiltered candor” she replied, “I say ‘do it.’ Be a freak. Go to Hollywood.”

My dad hat started pinching my scalp when I read that. Many a broken heart has come from wishing on that particular star. Some would say you’re better off playing the lottery than trying to break in at Disney. And sometimes I think young people are so inundated with these sparkling images—created, if we’re being honest with ourselves, only to sell the next load of merchandise—that they have a hard time sorting out the real from the fake, even without a secret persona. And it makes me wonder if we’re steering them wrong with this sort of entertainment. Even when we’re simply trying to give them a good time.

OK. So maybe I’m trying to dig too deep into all this. After all, there’s a whole lot of family love rolling around this film that’ll inspire a whole bunch of people to care a little bit more about those closest to them. But that’s honestly what I walked out of the theater thinking and asking myself. And as my dear old grandmother used to say in her own down-home sensible way: “There’s no question worth wrestling with in your heart, that isn’t worth askin’ out loud.”

Of course she’d usually say that just before yelling to my mother, “Get this kid out from under my feet. He’s asking too many questions.”

After spending more than two decades touring, directing, writing and producing for Christian theater and radio (most recently for Adventures in Odyssey, which he still contributes to), Bob joined the Plugged In staff to help us focus more heavily on video games. He is also one of our primary movie reviewers.

Hannah Montana: The Movie review

Back to her roots….

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

It’s really Miley Cyrus – dimpled daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus – who plays pop star Hannah in the Disney Channel show. Only Miley’s not Miley Cyrus in the TV series but Miley Stewart, even though Billy Ray still plays her father. No one realises Miley has a secret life either, despite the fact her entire disguise consists of a platinum blonde wig. The upshot is Disney has squeezed twice as much Miley-age out of its 16-year-old cash-cow, having her record albums as Hannah and Miley and play both in 2007’s Best Of Both Worlds concert tour. The Clark Kent-style charade continues in Hannah Montana: The Movie. You wonder if this could be Disney’s gentle way of weaning its young consumers off the Hannah archetype, thus enabling Cyrus to start the next stage of her career. It’s something that adds a touch of tension to what is otherwise a perfectly harmless slice of anodyne children’s fare, which sees bigheaded Miley whisked away from Los Angeles for an overdue reality check in Crowley Corners, her Tennessee home town. There she learns how to reconnect with the inner Miley – the one who liked riding horses and having hoedowns with her redneck relatives. There’s trouble in paradise, though, with Miley chased by a tabloid hack while a nasty property developer plans to bulldoze Main Street. Rest assured this fish-out-of-water yarn is resolved with a pop concert – what else? – that lets Cyrus strut her not inconsiderable stuff in both of her guises. Which is good, as that’s all her fans really want from her.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

By Tim Grierson, Senior US Critic 2009-04-08T07:00:00+01:00

• No comments

Dir: Peter Chelsom. US. 2009. 102 mins.

Part musical, part coming-of-age romance, all cliched, Hannah Montana: The Movie may be largely harmless fluff, but the messages it tries to pass along to its tween audience are so superficially executed that the entire effort can’t help but feel manipulative. Reprising her television role as a successful pop singer who hides out as an ordinary teenage girl, Miley Cyrus has decent vocal chops but not enough charisma to enliven this bag of predictable story elements.

Hannah Montana: The Movie opens in the US on April 10, and the television show’s popularity will certainly bring in a large pre-teen audience. Considering the success of last February’s Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert documentary, which collected $71m worldwide in only limited release, expectations for this new Disney film should be high, but its commercial longevity might take some hits from two other tween-geared movies: Monsters Vs. Aliens and the forthcoming Zac Efron comedy 17 Again .

Unhappy that his daughter (Miley Cyrus) is letting her Hannah Montana persona dominate her real life, Robby (Miley’s real-life dad Billy Ray Cyrus) moves Miley back to their Tennessee hometown to reacquaint her with her humble roots. Miley hates the laidback rural surroundings, but her attitude changes when she meets hunky Travis (Till), who doesn’t know that she’s secretly the world-famous Hannah Montana.

Premiering on Disney Channel in March 2006, the Hannah Montana television series became a hit thanks to its clever concept of a regular teenager who happens to have a secret life as a pop star. The producers have described this cinematic adaptation as a ‘superhero movie for girls,’ and the comparison makes sense since, like a film featuring caped crusaders, Hannah Montana The Movie touches on issues of self-empowerment as well as the perks and pitfalls of leading a double life.

Unfortunately, as directed by Peter Chelsom ( Funny Bones ), the film merely pays lip service to these thematic concerns. Miley’s trip to Tennessee is intended to teach her the value of family and community while illustrating the unimportance of celebrity and material possessions. But because Cyrus doesn’t have much presence, her attempts to show her character’s transition from self-absorbed brat to considerate sweetheart fail to have any resonance. And with the filmmakers treating Miley/Hannah as if she’s hopelessly adorable at all times, she comes off as impossibly spoiled.

The pre-teen crowds probably won’t recognise all the trite story beats going on in Hannah Montana The Movie , but it’s a good bet that their parents will. From the lazy romanticising of the American Heartland as a place of simple folks with homespun charm to the defeat-the-evil-developers third act, Dan Berendsen’s screenplay covers a lot of familiar territory.

Two veteran actresses provide much-needed assistance to the mediocre TV cast, who seem out of their depth here. Melora Hardin is sassy in a meagre part as Robby’s love interest, while Margo Martindale manages to make her role as Miley’s tough-love grandmother authentic.

To be fair, the film’s core audience will simply want to see Miley/Hannah engage in her screwball antics while singing some poppy songs. The antics leave a lot to be desired, but a few of the songs - specifically the rap-meets-country Hoedown Throwdown and the big ballad The Climb - do grab the ear. Early in Hannah Montana: The Movie , Hannah’s publicist advises her that she should ignore distractions and focus on her singing. Considering her limited dramatic range as an actress, Miley Cyrus should heed the same words of wisdom.

Hannah montana: the movie.

2009 Directed by Peter Chelsom

She has the best of both worlds... now, she has to choose just one

When Miley Stewart (aka pop-star Hannah Montana) gets too caught up in the superstar celebrity lifestyle, her dad decides it's time for a total change of scenery. But sweet niblets! Miley must trade in all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for some ol' blue jeans on the family farm in Tennessee, and question if she can be both Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

Reviewed by: Thaisha Geiger CONTRIBUTOR

Why are people supposed to wear clothes? Answer

Music in the Bible

Horses in the Bible

“She has the best of both worlds… Now, she has to choose just one.”

“H annah Montana” is the typical children’s movie to the core: sweet, a bit sappy, and slightly far-fetched. Miley fans will most certainly be thrilled with the teen sensation hitting the big screen. As for Christian parents, this movie is relatively safe for viewing as long as an after-movie discussion takes place.

As in the show, Miley Stewart ( Miley Cyrus ) is an ordinary teen by day and the pop star Hannah Montana by night. The demands of being Hannah Montana start to completely take over her ordinary life. Miley begins to put fame, shopping and even gigs above her family members and friends. Believing that she’s losing her humble roots, her father takes Miley back to Tennessee for two weeks for a “Hannah Montana Detox.”

During her stay, Miley begins to fall for her old childhood friend, Travis. Much to the town’s dismay, their small community is also being considered for a big development project, unless they can find the money to pay for the land. On Hannah Montana’s trail is tabloid reporter Oswald Granger, who’s determined to find some dirt on the pop singer.

Offensive Content

Only two kisses take place in the film. Impressively, the director only shows the back of their heads during the kisses. There are no curse words; the Lord’s name is profaned about 5 times. These profanities are only shrieked by two chaotic Montana fans and are barely understandable. Some females are shown in bikinis, and there are some very low-cut attire worn occasionally by the main cast. Some males were shown shirtless. Montana and Tyra Banks have a fight over some shoes. Hannah jumps on her back and throws the high heel at Tyra. While trying to distract Oswald, Miley opens someone’s truck and spills their potatoes, causing the reporter to fall.

In the beginning of the film, Miley is very disrespectful to her dad and blatantly disobeys him. Like the entire basis of the show, lying and deception are constant throughout the film. She lies to cover her true identity and whenever she feels it’s necessary. She doesn’t exactly apologize for these actions, but states that “she didn’t mean to.”

While some mild repercussions are shown about Miley’s lying, they are in no way realistic. Parents should take time to discuss with their children the true damage lies can have on any relationship. Most children’s movies use deception as their way of creating conflict, so many children might be desensitized, especially when it comes to telling “little white lies.” Take time to discuss with your children that God does not view any sin as “little.” One way of being a light for Christ is through our honesty. In Luke 16:10 , Jesus said:

“whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”

While the movie is extremely formulaic, adults might also be somewhat entertained as well. There were some funny moments. In addition, there are a good number of songs and performances throughout the film; Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift had pleasant singing cameos. With the above reservations, I recommend the film.

Positive —This is response to the non-viewer comment Reynolds. I have to say that I was shocked at how rudely and judgmentally he attacked the reviewer’s faith and felt that I had to come to her defense. She writes some of the most biblically accurate reviews on this Web site. But above that, you should remember that God views all sin the same. You let your little girls watch “Hannah Montana”? Which is fine, but just because they do not profane the Lord’s name does not mean the show is morally sound, either. In the show, she also lies and is disrespectful. Those are sins as well. If you never want to expose your kids to any sin, then you might as well never see another movie. It truly depends on which sins lead you to temptation. You should love other Christians and not attack someone simply because they used the word “about.” Thank you. My Ratings: Moral rating: Better than Average / Moviemaking quality: 3½ Maria, age 22 (USA)

Hannah Montana: The Movie Review

Pump up the party all you want -- this game still bites..

Even if you're a young girl that adores Hannah Montana, or you're a parent looking for a good gift, do not purchase Hannah Montana: The Movie. It's a cheap, awkward, embarrassing attempt to cash in on the hype of the movie without adhering to any of the standards of modern rhythm/music games.

Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced just now to 18 months behind bars over the October 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer  Halyna Hutchins  on the Santa Fe set of the indie Western starring Alec Baldwin .

“You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon,” said Judge Mary Marlow Sommer in her sentencing Monday after rejecting defense pleas for probation and counseling. “But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner and a little boy would have his mother.”

‘Rust’ Armorer Guilty Of Involuntary Manslaughter In Fatal Shooting Of Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins; Defendant Not Guilty Of Evidence Tampering, Jury Says

‘Rust’ Movie Productions Reaches Settlement With Halyna Hutchins Estate; Filming To Resume In January, Matthew Hutchins To Executive Produce

Exclaiming that her “heart aches” for what happened on Rust and the death of Hutchins, Gutierrez-Reed earlier called herself “young and naive,” chastised the media for portraying her as a “complete monster” and told the court how she had been overworked and under-resourced on the film.

“I beg you please don’t give me more time,” Gutierrez-Reed pleaded in a brief statement she read out before being sentenced. Both Gutierrez-Reed and her lawyer asked for probation. “The jury has found me in part at fault for this God-awful tragedy but that doesn’t make me a monster,” a tearful Gutierrez-Reed said. “That makes me human.”

Judge Sommer didn’t buy it, quoting calls Gutierrez-Reed made from jail in recent weeks that put the blame for the live round getting in the gun on everyone but herself. “I did not hear you take accountability,” the judge said in her sentencing. “Your attorney had to tell the court you were remorseful,” the judge called out.

After a two-week trial and just two hours of deliberation by the jury, Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on March 6 . She was not found guilty of evidence tampering, which could have increased her potential sentence to almost three years. Shifting gears several times, the defense attempted in the end to portray their client as a patsy for a corner-cutting and safety -neglecting production. Once the jury’s guilty verdict was delivered, Gutierrez-Reed was almost immediately taken into custody by deputies.

Far from the designer outfits she wore during her trial, today the clearly emotional Gutierrez-Reed was wearing a beige prison outfit having come straight from her short-term stay at the detention facility.

Before the sentencing Monday in what Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey called an “unprecedented case,” the state told the court it wanted the maximum sentence for Gutierrez-Reed, and for her to designated as a “serious violent offender.” With Gutierrez-Reed and her lawyers sitting close by, Morrissey stated to the court that she hoped the former crew member would have “expressed some level of remorse that was genuine.”

Citing recordings of nearly 200 calls that Gutierrez-Reed made since being incarcerated, Morrissey said the Rust armorer did not take any responsibility for what happened on the repeatedly trouble set. As a filing from prosecutors last week revealed, the calls found 26-year-old Gutierrez-Reed calling the jurors of seven women and five men such things as “retards,” “idiots” and “a**holes.”

Referring to Rust first assistant director David Halls, who made a plea deal with prosecutors and testified at the trial, Gutierrez-Reed is also heard on the calls declaring the industry vet “f*ked” her “to save his own a**.” 

In person and virtually, a number of friends and colleagues of Hutchins, including her agent Craig Mizrahi of Innovative Artists, attorney Gloria Allred (who represents Hutchins’ parents and sister in a California civil case), and Rust director Souza, spoke before the court. In one way or another, almost all of them lamented the “completely preventable tragedy” and “systemic failure” that occurred on the low budget Rust from the producers as well as the actions, or lack thereof, of Gutierrez-Reed.

At one point Allred showed the court a video of Hutchins’ mother from war torn Ukraine. Subtitles at the bottom of the video made clear that the grieving Olga Androsovych was outraged that star/producer Baldwin or no one from the production came to her daughter’s funeral at the Hollywood Forever cemetary.

One person who did not mention the Rust producers was Joel Souza, who as well as the director of the film was the co-creator of the movie’s story with Baldwin.

“What I want is simply not possible, I want that none of this ever happened,” Souza said on camera Monday in a short statement from a book-lined room. “One moment the world made sense and the next minute it didn’t,” he went on to state. “I want everyone damaged by Ms. Reed failures that day to find peace,” he concluded, putting emphasis on the loss that Hutchins’ young son, husband and family have suffered.  

The sentencing by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer comes with Baldwin’s trial for involuntary manslaughter set to start on July 9. It also comes just over two weeks after Gutierrez-Reed’s Jason Bowles-led defense team failed in their attempt to get their client out of the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility and to get a new trial. “Keep in mind there was a death that the jury determined was caused by her so I’m not releasing her,” said Judge Sommer in a virtual hearing on March 29.

Bowles has said he will appeal the verdict.

Calling Baldwin’s moves full of “lies and manipulation,” Morrissey added in an April 5 response, “the defendant’s motion to dismiss is a predictably false, misleading, and histrionic misrepresentation of the facts and circumstances of the case.” She also noted that Baldwin was offered a plea deal very similar to the one that David Halls took, but had it rescinded after prosecutors discovered Baldwin was allegedly “actively pressuring material witnesses in the case against him to submit for interviews for his documentary.”

It is unclear if this documentary about Hutchins that the prosecutors are citing is the one that was part of the settlement Baldwin and other Rust producers included in their October 2022 settlement with widower Matthew Hutchins to end his wrongful death lawsuit.

Another part of that settlement was that Matthew Hutchins would become an executive producer on a resurrected Rust film. With Baldwin back as star and producer, and Souza back directing, the movie started filming in Montana at   the Yellowstone Film Ranch in late April last year. The completed Rust has been out to buyers for several months, but as of yet appears to have not been picked up.
