Hannah Montana: The Movie

It's wholesome hokum, to be sure, but of a very high standard.

A perpetual Disney identity crisis that involves a blonde wig, a prepubescent Vertigo-meets Jekyll and Hyde-meets High School Musical.

There's a predictable plot, a few catchy songs and a shoe fight with Tyra Banks. In short: lazy but functional tween fare.

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.

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.

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.

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.
