DVD Review - "Hannah Montana The Movie, Deluxe Edition

The pop-star double-life of Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) gets complicated and countrified in "Hannah Montana: The Movie,” the big-screen adaptation of the Disney Channel series. Disney has released the movie in a three-disc deluxe edition that includes the standard DVD, Blu-Ray version and digital copy of the film.

The popularity of Miley’s super-star alter-ego Hannah Montana has begun to go to her head. When Hannah gets into a much-publicized catfight with Tyra Banks, Miley’s dad, Robby Ray (Cyrus’ real-life dad, Billy Ray Cyrus), cancels the rest of her busy schedule and carts his daughter to her hometown hamlet of Crowley Corners, Tenn.


He hopes a visit to the rural town and her no-nonsense Grandma Ruby (Margo Martindale) will help Miley regain a sense of perspective. The widower also finds a potential relationship with Ruby’s ranch foreman, Lorelai (Melora Hardin), even as Miley strikes up a budding romance with hottie hired hand Travis (Lucas Till).

But the complexities of the family’s two-sided life follow them to Tennessee when Travis suggests that Miley contact her "personal friend” Hannah Montana to play a benefit concert for the community.

The movie includes all the requisite romantic montages, slapstick moments and musical interludes by both Cyruses, plus tuneful cameos from country stars Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts (which includes guitarist Joe Don Rooney of Picher). Bonus features: Director’s commentary, deleted scenes, bloopers, music videos and more.
