Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour (2008)

Critic Reviews

• Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

  $15 is a bargain compared to what scalpers were asking us to fork over so our little darlings could see their teen idol.

• Joseph P. Kahn, Boston Globe

  One's opinion of it may depend more on age and parental status than exposure to other rock-concert films. But there's no denying the film delivers on its promise.

• Elysa Gardner, USA Today

  What this concert film and documentary makes clear is that the real Miley is not just like her predominantly pre-adolescent, female fans.

• Andy Webster, New York Times

  Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert is a diverting 3-D artifact of Ms. Cyrus's just concluded tour.

• Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

  Obviously, there's no replicating the real thing. But it's as close as you'll come to achieving the best of both worlds.

• Lou Lumenick, New York Post

  Miley Cyrus is not U2.

• David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  ...possesses few elements designed to appeal to viewers over a certain age...

• Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile

  For the teenage girl target market, there is no question the film delivers as it alternates between onstage performances and backstage insights

• Heather Huntington, ReelzChannel.com

  I found myself imagining boardrooms full of people going over market research about exactly which lime-green sneaker/jean jacket combo will get the maximum pop-lust response from the fans and create the biggest marketing opportunity.

• Jules Brenner, Filmcritic.com

  Her great time is your great time -- if you're into it.

• Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures

  I can't think of a better recommendation for the DVD... than the fact that my two sons wanted to watch it.

• Bill Chambers, Film Freak Central

  A film that opens with celebuspawn Cyrus practising scales and ends with me wrapping my lips around the barrel of a twelve-gauge

• Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews

  I can't help admiring the enthusiasm and musicality Miley Cyrus brings to her routines -- both as Hannah Montana and herself.

• James Plath, Movie Metropolis

  Parents will appreciate that Cyrus is a good role model. There's nothing here that a five year old couldn't watch. And yet, the target age group will think it's a rockin' good time.

• Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed

  "Cyrus is that pageant child often drawn in to the background whenever her dad Billy Ray is on set, and he even manages to attach himself in to her act..."

• Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film

  Parents of younger fans will be pleased to note that although there's lots of jumping about and running around plus enough lipgloss to paint the Forth Bridge, there is not so much as a hint of raunch.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  Just weeks after U2's 3D concert movie comes another shameless cash-in.

• Holly Grigg-Spall, Film4

  This movie either marks the end of civilization or it's just jolly good fun.

• Neil Smith, BBC

  Little more than a Disney cash-cow entirely wasted on anyone old enough to smoke, drink or vote.

• , Total Film

  A proper little trouper with enough charisma to render the 3D visuals redundant.
