Hannah Montana: The Movie (DVD)

Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) starring Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment. This movie may be suitable viewing for tween girls -- it's certainly free of sex and violence -- but for adults it's just a big bore. There's a lot of nonsense about how Miley (brown hair) and Hannah (blond wig) keep disappointing people because they can't be in two places at the same time (since they're the same person). This all struck me as the basic weakness of the Hannah Montana concept -- kind of like the Clark Kent/Superman problem, but for girls. Kids might buy it, but it ain't for grown-ups. There are a few catchy musical numbers, but the subtitles are very inconsistent in displaying the words of the songs. Grade: D
