SPECIAL: "Hannah Montana: The Movie" Review

[@drengskap]

I interpret the finale where Miley puts the wig back on and becomes Hannah once again as a Jungian allegory of the fragmented self re-integrating into a fully self-actualised being, able to embrace a multiplicity of personas and imagoes. Hannah Montana is in fact a Romantic Bildungsroman in the tradition of Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther and Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf.

[@louisduarte8763]

This has been another "Deep Lyric-, uh, Cinematic Analysis".

"Put the wig back on, you'll never have a normal life if you don't!" Somebody was paid to write that line.

"Somehow, Palpatine returned" energy

[@TheSaltyLibrarian]

Fun bit of trivia: Until the Eras Tour movie, this was the highest grossing movie Taylor Swift ever appeared in

[@TheSaltyLibrarian]

@PEPSYSMARGYNATA Ah correction: made the most against its budget. IMDB is not as clear as it should be. The Lorax seems to hold that official title (which is still kinda funny)

[@2-d_in_a_bag]

the movie was like a terrible country fever dream, but that ending where they make her be hannah again breaks my heart.

[@dorotheabell9155]

6:34 Even tame horses can be hard to handle and unpredictable, you would usually rope one if it escaped to make it easier and safer to lead home

[@RacingWorldTV202]

Oh man, this reminds me of how I dragged my parents to go see this with me when I was 10. I think I was the only boy in the audience and I got asked why I was seeing it (I genuinely wanted to watch it tho!) and now I understand why. This movie is skewed toward the stereotypes girls often get marketed toward them and the premise is underwhelming...but it all revolves around the "Will they or won't they" plot around if Hannah will get leaked (everyone knew the big reveal was coming somehow) and if she would end up with Cow Pie Clyde (I genuinely forgot his actual name but I *love* Cow Pie Clyde lolol), and that was enough to carry it for many people. Also, you may have overlooked this with how the movie was but, Taylor Swift's song 'Crazier', which she performed in the movie, is really good. One of Taylor's most underrated imo.

[@tegantalks9612]

I love Crazier by Taylor Swift and I hope she gets to it on the re-records.

Fun fact the guy that played Miley’s brother is twice as old as her, and was 33 years old when this was made

[@DreFromMaine8472]

"Whatever THIS is needs to die." I loved that line from Todd in this!

[@lylecohen1638]

So if he's twice as old as her, today he's 62?

[@CamWithAQU]

7:18- Is that beloved character actress Margo Martindale?

[@QJ89]

And how did she know that her niece (?) is a famous Pop starlet? Smarter than she looks, maybe?

[@tegantalks9612]

It’s been 13 years and I still remember all the dance moves and lyrics for Hoedown Throwdown.

20:56 Jimmy: My name is James Morgan McGill. I'm done running and hiding from the grief for my brother. Bus full of prisoners: Nobody cares. BETTER. CALL. SAUL! BETTER. CALL. SAUL! Jimmy: I'm in hell. This is hell.

[@jabuchananable]

I'm surprised he didn't bring up the totally pointless subplot about the English reporter trying to expose her secret but turns good at the end.

[@lartensgrill6106]

I remember when this came out. Full circle. Great review, Todd

How can you say this is a bad movie? It features Esteemed Character Actress Margot Martindale!

I think the plate breaking joke could have worked better if Billy Ray managed to catch each and every one of them expertly but only ended breaking the Elvis one And replace the mall idea with "I want to build my luxury mansion on this piece of land" instead.

God bless you, Todd

Watching 2000s media commentary humor in 2023 feels a little too much like watching the Game Grumps Mousecapades playthrough

[@MISSMADISONMEDIA]

Waiiiit I just realized that Jackson is “going away to to college” in the movie but later in the series he seems to always be at home or at the beach with girls lol

[@ababyharpseal6534]

It’s like when people tell their kids that the sick family dog went to go live at a nice farm upstate. “Going away to college” is simply a polite euphemism for Jackson entering his hoe phase.

[@possum1093]

God as some who lives in a small village I would love it if there was a mall so that way we would actually have something to do and a economy that has enough money to actually do things with

She had to put the wig back on otherwise she would be like KISS without makeup

[@spookyrosev6467]

Ah yes the awkward part of my childhood that in retrospect doesn’t make it a surprise that I’m such hipster trash nowadays LOL Also Jesus the first 5-10 minutes of the movie are slightly awkward consider the real Miley’s ermmmm “phase” for a while

[@DreFromMaine8472]

I wonder what happened to the Cowpie Clyde actor after this, if he ever amounted to anything, LOL!

[@tegantalks9612]

Honestly, I think they should left the ending of the movie as Miley being done with Hannah and had the 4th season of the show dealing with the repercussions of Miley now being herself.

[@crispyorsmthnidk5314]

This reminds me of Lindsay Ellis’ video about how society unfairly hates things that are intended for teenagers and females

[@abevamp]

RIGHT??? I watched the entire thing just yelling "IT'S A CHILDREN'S MOVIE" at regular intervals.

[@jrstinkfish]

Being a movie for females or teens doesn't automatically exempt it from being criticized for being terrible.

[@huntersmith8586]

I swear. That's the only important thing she ever said. But it sure Is important.

[@christianfaux736]

A movie being made for teenagers or girls isn't a license to suck. What a weird thing to accept low standards for.

[@xcmledder3420]

@@abevamp To paraphrase the man himself, Todd likes enough things intended for teens and girls that he can give a fair appraisal.

[@svansy]

this is like a superman movie written by a 12 yo girl

[@bthsr7113]

There are legitimate socioeconomic and environmental to be concerned about major land developments like this, but suburban sprawl, loss of green space, economic consolidation, and reduced agricultural output don't seem like things this movie would care to address.

[@Mizelei2012]

Hahaha, that ending had me roaring with laughter XD

I always wished Todd would do more movie reviews. Don’t get me wrong, I love his other series to death, but this and the Glitter video are still some of the funniest things he’s ever put out.

Luckily, Lucas Till got some better roles after this movie, like Havok in the X-Men prequels and MacGyver in the MacGyver reboot.

A lot of old videos have recently appeared on his channel I have not seen before (they are also not marked as viewed by the red bar thingy, that's how I realized that). Seems like Todd has overcome a bit copyright bot wave.
