Reviews:

Don’t you hate it when your "secret pop-star persona" threatens to overwhelm your home and school life? Miley Cy… ahem, Stewart… sure does, so in this big-screen adaptation of the Disney kiddie phenomenon, her pop (played by real life dad/one-hit wonder Billy Ray Cyrus) drags her to Tennessee for some much-needed perspective. Suffice it to say, this album/movie would sell a zillion copies/tickets in the depths of the actual Great Depression, so prepare for Miley Overload. The first single is a fragile piano ballad called "The Climb," in which one or more of Miley’s identities espouses the virtues of dealing with mountains, uphill battles, setbacks and other well-worn clichés. And it works! Of course, she’s not the only star here—expect contributions from alter-ego Hannah, Billy Ray, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and Steve Rushton. Hannah says it herself in the penultimate tune: "What’s Not to Like?"
