Bro-Approved

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2010)

When I saw the preview to this movie I thought, "Great. Another movie starring a singer. Troubled and Juilliard-worthy. She's trying to push those CDs out them doors eh?" I was pleasantly surprised that that wasn't the case at all. Though the soundtrack is good, the movie isn't all about music. In fact, Ronnie (Miley Cyrus) hardly played the piano or sang. There weren't awkwardly contrived reasons for her to sing either. Well, maybe one. But it was done in good taste, and I applaud the screenplay and direction for going that route. I suspect that because the story had much more to it than a pop star lead.
As a grown man (or so I like to think), I'm a bit ashamed to say that Hannah Montana nearly made me cry in public. I had to take a breath. I held it in. Like a man should! :) Don't get me wrong. The acting wasn't mind-blowing, but it wasn't bad either. However, the story invoked feelings of wanting to be great at something and to passionate about it. Specifically, it made me want to be a great father.
