2/5
"...Hannah Montana: The Movie, its light and empty, cotton candy made out of sugar substitute, not the real sweet deal."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

C
"I might not possess the tools to compute country star cameos and vital supporting characters, but an infuriatingly slack pace doesn't need a weekend cram session of DVD box sets to detect."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

2/4
"Likable in segments but its heart isn't quite in the right place. In its last minutes, the film spinelessly squanders the chance to be more than just sugary junk food."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"You grant a little leeway for a movie aimed at kids, but come on. Plenty of kids' movies are clever and make sense. This one isn't and doesn't."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"...plays like a cornball extension of Miley's terminally cutesy televised vehicle. Sadly, it's not the best of both worlds for Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana in this jagged juvenile farce."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

C-
"No better than cable-quality, and devoted fans really deserve something beyond assembly-line stuff when their TV idols are brought to the big screen."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"A fun musical with the spiritual messages that the journey is what matters and who we are has a lot to do with where we come from."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"Undoubtedly, Hannah Montana: The Movie will appeal to Cyrus' core audience, but the chances of this sanitized, prepackaged effort expanding her fan base is about nil."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

6/10
"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."  DVDTown.com  James Plath

2/5
"Hannah Montana: The Movie, like an Elvis film, is an all-American corporate product designed to please people fast and make money, an occasional treat like a soda pop or a cheeseburger ... and just as bad for kids if that's all they ever consume."  Redbox  James Rocchi

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

3/5
"This film isn't out to win over the Internet fanboy audience. I'ts not out to find new supporters in the New York art houses. It's all about giving the fans what they want."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

2/4
"Best approached as a test as to whether Cyrus has a future career once the hype inevitably blows out. And the answer is..."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

B+
"The movie will satisfy Cyrus fans and give their families a sense of why they love her so much."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

"The nicest thing one can say about the film is that at least it's not The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: The Movie."  Cinematical  Nick Schager

2/5
"This may be the single most convoluted film that Billy Ray Cyrus has ever been featured in and bear in mind, the guy did appear in "Mulholland Drive.""  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

D
"You would think after all these decades of making these kinds of movies Disney would do a better job with this, but it really is terrible."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

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

3.5/5
"now, at least, I understand the hoopla surrounding this spunky, cool, and charismatic young performer"  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

6/10
"If you're old enough to drive yourself to the theater, this is not for you. But if you have a 'tween girl living in your household, for her, it's a must-see."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

5/10
"The film is absolutely functional, and deserves no praise greater than "it's no worse than it ought to be"."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
