Look, the studio didnt show me the movie. Why would they? So the trailer is all I have. The darned thing lasts only two minutes and 17 seconds, but it still sent me spiraling into sugar shock. The funny thing is that Miley Cyrus, chatting on TV, comes off as an appealingly tough cookie. On screen, at least in this trailer, she looks so Disneyfied shes practically a cartoon character. The target audience of tweens willingly believes that no one can tell the difference between Miley and her pop star alter ego, Hannah Montana. Mileys blonde wig works like Clark Kents glasses. Got that?
The plot that peeks through the trailers hard sell suggests that Mileys father (read: dad Billy Ray Cyrus) has tricked her back home to Tennessee after the wicked girl misbehaved in the big city. What was Mileys sin as blonde vixen Hannah Montana? A shoe fight with Tyra Banks! OMG! Soon the wig is off and Miley is playing with farm animals, flirting with a sexually nonthreatening cowboy and admitting, I never expected to love it so much here. Can you die? I damn near did. The trailer promises the movie will deliver 12 new songs! Despite that threat, I will see the movie this weekend and post a full review for the purists. As Miley sings in the movie, aint about how fast I get there/aint about whats waiting on the other side/its the climb. Im expecting a long hard one.
