Ok this is my lame attempt to suck up to Disney, I’ll be completely upfront about that. But those of you who have read the site for the last 11 years, know that I’m generally a sucker for the teen film. I had a really bad, tasteless joke, but I’ll refrain. I actually like Miley, can’t stand Billy Ray though. But anyway, I love Disney’s little marketing scheme to pump up opening weekend traffic by promising surprise pop-ins by the stars of the movie. Of course they won’t come to DC, but you never know. You could be at the GT Theater getting your $10 Chicken Tenders, while you are waiting for your order you eyes wonder to the front doors and all of a sudden, bam! You see a limo pull up and it could be MIley or someone else from the cast. It’s all part of Disney’s new Opening Weekend Surprise program, in which moviegoers who show up to the theatre for a 2009 Walt Disney Pictures film during its national opening weekend could be treated to a truly magical Disney experience. This might include surprise in-theater appearances by talent from the film, live performances and more. Moviegoers won’t know in advance which cities, theaters or show times will be selecte
“Hannah Montana the Movie” is a G-rated overly predictable film aimed at the fans of the young star. Her father is prominent in the movie. Story deals with Miley not wanting to stop being Hannah, but, against her will, ending up back in her hometown and then putting ona show to “save the farmland”. (The new Judy Garland?)
‘Fans’ GRADE = “A”
