After three successful seasons, Disney’s hit show HANNAH MONTANA is finally making the leap from small screen to the big screen, bringing fans a movie adaptation of the popular TV series.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS?
Miley Stewart has always had the best of both worlds, thanks to her alter ego as international, teen sensation Hannah Montana. From concerts to parties and more, Miley’s been living the dream, ready to give up anything stopping her from being Hannah Montana. But as her overwhelming stardom and growing popularity continue to take over her life, Miley struggles to balance family, friends and school with her celebrity lifestyle.
REALITY CHECK
When Miley lets her fame get the best of her (she gets into a catfight over a pair of shoes with Tyra Banks) her father, Robby Ray Stewart, decides to trick her into going to her hometown in Crowley Corners, Tennessee, for a reality check. But just when Miley thinks she’s suffered enough, her dad tells her she can’t be Hannah anymore if her attitude doesn’t change during her stay in Tennessee with her family. Miley soon learns that life in her hometown isn’t what she expected. In fact, Tennessee is almost better than her life as a superstar. Tired of hiding her secret, Miley wonders if she still wants to lead two different lives. Will Miley stop being Hannah forever or will she tell the world whose behind the blonde wig? Find out on April 10th in this all-new adventure filled with singing and dancing – country style – as Miley, her friends and family, all head to Tennessee.
