Trivia

The smoke that can be seen coming from the tail pipe of the Blue F150 just before the scene where Miley gets out of the truck to meet Blue Jeans is actually steam from a fog machine that is being operated by a mechanism attached to the throttle. Disney wanted to keep the movie green, even going so far as using disposable cutlery made from compressed corn starch in catering.

Goofs

Miley has dirt on her left hip after falling off Blue Jeans, but she fell onto her right side. A few scenes later she has dirt on her right shoulder.

User Reviews

Like Cyrus, it tries way too hard

As the father of a twean this was required, and frankly painful, viewing. This evaluation surprises me somewhat given that the Cyrus / Disney television program on which this mess is based is the least bad choice among Disney TV offering for this age group. In fact, in a weak moment, I might concede that Miley?s often genuine interactions with her father (despite his worse-than-a-mullet haircut) and plots centered around Miley?s moral shortcomings coming back to haunt her make the show somewhat substantial and entertaining. Had the movie simply offered up a twice extended episode of the show Disney would have had a fairly watchable movie. Unfortunately the movie reaches for schmaltz and to say something profound about one?s roots thereby subjecting us to a decided lack of warmth and humor, uninteresting supporting characters and absurd plot twists ending with the idea that a few thousand Tennesseans will keep Miley?s secret. It seemed painfully apparent to me that Cyrus has outgrown her alter ego and hoped this movie would spell the end of her. Unfortunately, Disney characters never really die.
