Genre: Kids/DisneyTo be perfectly honest, I wasn’t especially looking forward to seeing this film. Somehow i’d let the media hype around Miss Cyrus and her drama queen ways get to me, and I was expecting a product just as superficial as her TV show of the same name.
There were three distinct groups lined up to see this movie, the tweenies, teens, and the mums, and to be completely honest, it was hard to tell which group enjoyed it the most. While the film started out just as i’d suspected…a tacky, glamourised version of the TV show, it soon developed into something much more. I’m still not sure whether we got to see a rare insight into the real Miley, or whether she’s just a really really good actress. I think either option is just as possible as the other. What developed was a story about love, life and happiness, and in typical Disney style, it came along with it’s own built in moral and lesson to be learned although, come to think of it, I was so distracted by the drama and the sing-a-long/dance-a-long theatrics that i’m yet to determine exactly what that lesson was…
Don’t watch this film if you’re suseptible to having songs stuck in your head for days on end, it’s highly contagious!
