The water was 55 degrees in Rutledge Falls, Tennesseem for the Travis and Miley Swim Scene. Lucas Till and Miley Cyrus suffered through 2 takes. During the 2nd take Lucas had to spend about 90 seconds in the water being filmed beckoning to Miley who was having REAL second thoughts about the 2nd take. It took 45 minutes for them to warm up.

What can I say about a film like this? Well, I'll pose this question to anyone who has seen the show. If Mr. Magoo barely has the legs for a six minute cartoon (and he also got his own movie) how in the WORLD can a one note concept like "Hannah Montana" sustain 100 minutes when it can barely do it in a twenty minute show? I would give you a plot summary but I can't because there is no story, I kid you not. This is more or less a series of lame slapstick scenes loosely tied together with a clichéd idea of an evil land developer who plans to level the hometown of Miley Stewart who just happens to be visiting when all this goes down.
Where do I begin? Well, for starters the movie was shot in a very lousy way. The extreme close-ups dilute most of the slapstick action which in of itself is just as desperate as it is on the show. Also, we get one too many closeups of Miley Cyrus's face and thus, her distracting piano teeth. On top of all that, there are several shots done in slow motion for no apparent reason. I guess the filmmakers wanted to be "artsy".
The cast is wasted and I do mean wasted! Barry Bostwick is useless in a throwaway role, Tyra Banks makes a complete fool of herself and the charming and talented Emily Osment is reduced to a recurring cameo despite her getting second billing.
I'm a generous kind of guy, so I will give it this: the colors and film stock at least give it the big screen look it needs and that is a improvement over the tacky look of the show and I will admit I did get a few mild laughs overall.
My consensus? This movie will thrill little girls and it is harmless but it's quite a chore for anyone older.
