Technically I don’t think this is a DCOM but I feel like it should be and how could I not put it on this list with all these other classic movies. If you were a 2000s baby you grew up watching Hannah Montana or you at least knew who she was. I loved the series and of course I loved the movie too.

The movie was very different from the show but I think that’s part of why I really loved it. It was a very different setting with a lot of new characters and we got to see a different side of Miley. I like that she goes back to her roots and finds who Miley really is again. I liked the small town country aspect to it because I’m a small town girl.

I really loved getting to see her with her family and the relationship between her and her grandma. I thought that was really sweet and real.

I obviously loved Travis and Miley and Travis together. I mean come on how can you not? There really isn’t any time that I can think of in the movie where he is a stupid jerk or he annoys me. He’s also really what Miley needs in this movie. I liked that we got to see her dad get a little bit of romance too in this movie because he deserves it.

I feel like in the show we see her hide Miley from the world more than we see her hide Hannah from the people close to her in the movie and I think it gives a really different side to the “best of both worlds” thing.

Of course this movie gave us some absolute classic bops that can never be forgotten. I still want to learn the Howdown Throwdown dance and Butterfly Fly Away still touches my heart. My favorites are for sure You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home and The Climb.

Oswald is a pretty good “bad guy” because he’s so frustratingly and annoyingly persistent and nosy. I like that he comes around in the end too.

I meannnnnnnnnnnn join. the. club.Tho at this point I’m hesitant to believe he even existed… they say children tend to look more like their father, to assist with bonding and I guess evolutionary shit so like the father doesn’t assume they’re not his and not want to like abandon them or eat them or something, but Shannon, to me, looks *so* much like his mama, and while I don’t see a lot of Constance in Jared, I see a lot of her mom, Grandma Ruby, in him - so there’s that. But looking at Shan and Jared, sometimes it’s so hard to even know they’re related? lol which I guess is where the Greek Boyfriend shit came from…classic.

And then when you add Babu into the mix - I think he looks a lot like Shannon and I don’t see much of Jared in him? Tho I know I’m in the minority there.
