Wish Gone Amiss (Cory in the House / Hannah Montana / The Suite Life of Zack and Cody) (2005)
It’s common knowledge that wishing on a shooting star guarantees a wish come true, but Miley Stewart (Hannah Montana), Cory (Cory in the House), and Zack and Cody (Suite Life of Zack and Cody) are about to find out that impulsive wishes often result in unintended consequences in Wish Gone Amiss. The ever-scheming Cory wishes himself into the presidency in “Gone Wishin’” only to discover that the responsibilities of the Presidency are enormous, especially when robotic aliens threaten to replace all of his cabinet members and take over the world. Miley Stewart’s wish that she could leave her secret identity behind and be Hannah Montana all the time lands Hannah in the lap of luxury, but the cost to her family’s individual and collective happiness is huge. Zack and Cody wish themselves into superheroes, but soon find out that with super powers come evil villains like Moseby the “Meanager” and super responsibilities. Each of these three fantastical episodes relies on a heavy dose of the comically ridiculous for maximum entertainment while offering an important message about responsibility and an appreciation of one’s own circumstances.

Luckily, Zack and Cody (Suite Life of Zack and Cody) step in to serve as last minute models and the photographer manages to make her way to the correct Tipton Hotel. While she’s there, Raven has one of her psychic premonitions and warns Zack and Cody that the surprise party they’re planning for their mother’s birthday will somehow go very wrong and Maddie and Raven hatch a plot to trick London into wearing a Raven-original dress to an important “Young Heiress Magazine” photo shoot. Hannah Montana (Hannah Montana) also happens to be at the Tipton Hotel where she falls in love with London’s Raven-original dress and begs Raven for a dress of her own to wear to an important award show.

Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition (2008)
The Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds live concert was a sold-out sensation everywhere it played, and this concert video is the next best thing to being there for all the fans that couldn’t get tickets to attend the concert in person. The movie opens with Miley Cyrus backstage in make-up and hair, warming up with vocal exercises, then cuts to Hannah Montana (her alter ego)’s performance of “Rock Star,” and then back in time to four weeks before her performance when concert rehearsals were just beginning. It runs like a backstage special feature for a while, following Hannah Montana through coaching, choreography scenes with Kenny Ortega, and rehearsal sessions. Then it’s back to concert footage from opening night in St. Louis and all along the tour, seasoned here and there with some fun looks at the concerts’ special effects, quick costume changes, other logistical challenges (Hannah gets dropped during a routine early in the tour), and lots of shots of the enthusiastic, mostly female ‘tween audiences. The 3D format gives the audience a nice sense of being there and includes some effective, if somewhat overused shots of the crowd waving, Hannah/Miley reaching out to the audience, and fun stunts like the drummer’s twirling stick thrown high in the air and the guitar player’s pick being tossed out into the audience. The sound is adequate, but fails to replicate the live concert experience (the plus side is that the audience’s ears won’t be ringing for hours after the performance). Hannah Montana’s performance includes “Rock Star,” “Life’s What You Make It,” “Just Like You,” “Nobody’s Perfect,” and “We Got the Party.” The Jonas Brothers perform “When You Look Me In the Eyes” and “Year 3000,” and then Miley hits the stage with “Start All Over,” “I Got Nerve,” “I Miss You” (which Miley wrote in honor of her Granddad’s passing), “Going Away,” “GNO: Girl’s Night Out,” and “The Best of Both Worlds.” This 3D concert presentation truly is the “best of both worlds,” a 3D concert experience with easy availability and minimal expense. Better yet is the message that girls can do anything they want if they put their minds and hearts to it. (Ages 7 and older) –Tami Horiuchi

Hannah Montana - Pop Star Profile (2006)
Stardom can be a heavy burden for a teenager, but Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) has always risen above the temptation to flaunt her fame, and firmly resolved to keep her true identity as teen rock star Hannah Montana a secret from her classmates, in favor of being perceived as a typical teenager. Miley’s resolve begins to falter in this foursome of episodes when famous television star Jake Ryan (Cody Linley) suddenly shows up as a new student in Miley’s class. Initially assuming that Jake is just another snooty superstar, Miley’s distaste quickly turns to confusion and jealousy over all the attention her fellow students, including her smitten best friend Lilly (Emily Osment), are lavishing on him. Miley’s inner turmoil results in an impulsive confession of her true identity to Jake and a local reporter. Miley’s father Robbie Stewart (played by Miley’s real-life father and famous country musician Billy Ray Cyrus) helps convince the local reporter that Miley is just another drama-loving teenager with grandiose dreams and typically wacky schemes. A visit from Aunt Dolly (played by country music icon Dolly Parton) helps Miley realize the importance of taking chances and reaching for her dreams. In the end, everyone learns an important lesson about being open-minded and staying true to one’s goals and beliefs. Bonus features include a “Nobody’s Perfect” stage performance video and a brief “The Real Miley Cyrus” featurette in which Miley talks about her childhood, home life, and relationship with her co-stars.

Hannah Montana, Vol. 1 - Livin’ the Rock Star Life (2006)
Being the famous 14-year old rock star Hannah Montana isn’t easy, nor is the life of an average Los Angeles middle school student who’s trying to figure out her place in the social scene. Imagine, then, how difficult Disney Channel’s Miley Stewart’s life is considering she’s living both lives simultaneously. One of the most down-to-earth pop stars you’ll ever meet, Miley goes to exceptional lengths to keep her identity as Hannah Montana a secret from her best friend Lilly because she’s afraid of being treated differently in “Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret.” When Oliver’s obsession with Hannah Montana gets to be too much for Miley to handle in “Miley Get Your Gum,” she devises a gum-chewing scenario that just about guarantees an end to Oliver’s crush on Hannah Montana. Far from the usual adoring fan, Miley’s newest crush Josh actually says he doesn’t like Hannah Montana in “I Can’t Make You Love Hannah If You Dont,” so Miley sets out to change Josh’s musical preferences. The never-before-seen episode “Money for Nothing, Guilt for Free” finds rich snobs Amber and Ashley in ugly competition with Miley, Lilly and Oliver over a school contest to raise money for the needy while Miley’s brother Jackson is bent on beating his father at just about any kind of competition. Bonus features include the Hannah Montana music video “Best of Both Worlds,” a backstage interview with Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus about following your dreams, and Miley’s audition tapes.

Miley has managed to put thoughts of television heartthrob Jake Ryan (Cody Linley) out of her mind during his six month absence, but now that he’s back from shooting his movie in “Achy Jakey Heart Parts One and Two,” Miley is uncertain about whether or not she wants to date Jake.

Human relationships are complicated regardless of whether you’re young or old, or looking for love or friendship. When Miley’s dad (Billy Rae Cyrus) and Lilly’s mom (Heather Locklear) are attracted to one another in “Lilly’s Mom Has Got It Goin’ On,” Miley (Miley Cyrus) and Lilly (Emily Osment) can barely contain their excitement, but an argument over who pays the check raises the issue of sexism and puts an end to the romance. Jealousy threatens to tear apart the working relationship between Miley and Robbie Ray when The Jonas Brothers ask Robbie to write a song for them and Miley gets worried that her dad will like working with the guys better than working with her. A longstanding family feud between Miley’s Mamaw Ruthie (Vicki Lawrence) and her Aunt Dolly (Dolly Parton) ruins the biggest night of Hannah Montana’s life when she receives the International Music Award for best female artist and the two most important women in her life can’t seem to put aside their differences long enough to celebrate Hannah’s accomplishment.
