What's up with so much thrashing and underrating of this mediocre chick flick?

This movie is the lowest rated movie on IMDb that i decided to watch. So many people thrashed this when it came out to cinema, it has huge percentage of 1/10 ratings, and i thought that could be human stupidity, prejudice and hatred towards these kind of movies in general. And that is completely correct, this movie isn't objectively underrated, if movies were math and you could calculate how good and how bad it is, how much is it worth, then this film definitely wouldn't be on 3.0/10 rating. I'm not mathematician though, my rating of any movie isn't objectively based, each rating i give is based on my personal opinion. When it comes to movie like 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' then my rating is (and everyone's else's should be too) based on amount of entertainment movie gave me, amount of UNBEARABLE flaws (bearable flaws are completely different story that don't affect the movie in my opinion), likability of characters and also music (specificly for this movie, because it's a big and important ingredient to it).

After seeing this movie i was fairly pleased and satisfied with it, doubling the rating that this movie has been given. Music is good, likable, catchy and somewhat emotional, that song 'The Climb' isn't bad at all, i was surprised at first that it won "Best song from a movie" MTV Movie Award in competition with favored Paramore ('Twilight') and Bruce Springsteen ('The Wrestler'), but that was before i saw this movie, now i understand why it won the award. Other songs are also catchy, although much "lighter" and usual for teen flicks. I know some people dislike the whole Billy Ray Cyrus - Miley Cyrus story and therefore they had prejudice towards this movie, in this movie they did a duet that i thought was pretty okay and likable. There weren't many of those unbearable flaws that i mentioned earlier on, of course the whole plot is unrealistic and silly, but who cares? This isn't some spiritually inspiring movie, this is a teen/chick flick... Likability of characters is on good level, between medium and high. Miley Cyrus was at start kind of shaky and not so likable in my opinion, but later on everything was alright. Everyone else pretty much fit in good, as in any other higher-rated chick flick. Their acting on the other hand is silly, exactly on level of newer chick flicks, and everyone who makes complaints about it should make the same complaints on 1000 of other movies.

You shouldn't judge this movie by ratings and comments of other people, this movie doesn't disappoint, it isn't a masterpiece, a "MUST SEE" or anything like that, it's just decent afternoon entertainment that could make you feel-good or feel stupid depending on what you expect and want from it. There are better ways of spending your 102 minutes of time, there are better teen flicks out there, but there are also many more that are much worse.
