Based on the hit Disney television show, HANNAH MONTANA/MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CONCERT TOUR 3-D provides dedicated fans an all-access pass to the Best of Both Worlds concert tour. Leaving behind character Miley Stewart, the concert instead splits time between pop phenom Hannah Montana and Cyrus, who assumes the role of Montana's "ordinary girl" alter ego. Footage of the concert is interspersed with numerous behind-the-scene vignettes. Among these are pre-tour rehearsals--orchestrated by HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL impresario Kenny Ortega--and a touching jam session with father Billy Ray Cyrus. Also included are ecstatic fan testimonials and the film's most humorous moment, in which fathers race each other in high-heeled shoes for the chance to win concert tickets and backstage passes. Montana/Cyrus is joined on stage by the Jonas Brothers, who whip up the crowd with their own brand of high-energy pop. The film employs most of its 3-D tricks in the opening credits then pulls back the reins to focus on giving viewers the next best thing to actually being at the show. Filled with fist-pumping anthems ("Girls Night Out," "Nobody's Perfect," and the title track), BEST OF BOTH WORLDS remains true to the television show's dual personality theme: through good times and bad, every girl is her own superstar. For fans and parents alike, it's a wholesome and empowering message wrapped up in pure infectious fun. [More]

Reviews
This movie either marks the end of civilization or it's just jolly good fun.
Little more than a Disney cash-cow entirely wasted on anyone old enough to smoke, drink or vote.
A proper little trouper with enough charisma to render the 3D visuals redundant.
The only highpoint in what amounts to little more than a cynical marketing ploy was that she didn't do a cover of her dad's Achy Breaky Heart.
Anyone under theage of ten won't have a clue what's going on, but it's perfect fodder for its target audience.
Entertaining, thanks entirely to the charms of its 15-year-old star.
There's something adorable about this whole Miley Cyrus phenomenon that appeals to, well, the girl in me.
The movie spectacular to fulfill your little girls' wildest dreams, and at a considerably lower rate than the live concert.
With the disinterest of one not being badgered into coughing up $18 a ticket, what I saw felt a lot like the Barbie's Playhouse version of Madonna's Truth or Dare.
For this crowd, Best of Both Worlds is a concert film on the level of Stop Making Sense and The Last Waltz.
For parents who were unable to secure tickets for the young fans in their households, it's nothing short of a godsend.
$15 is a bargain compared to what scalpers were asking us to fork over so our little darlings could see their teen idol.
Cyrus' fans will receive this material as Moses received those tablets from Mount Sinai.
One's opinion of it may depend more on age and parental status than exposure to other rock-concert films. But there's no denying the film delivers on its promise.
It's great for kids to see that Miley doesn't just wake up polished. She makes mistakes, she practices - there's a learning curve and work involved. Fans are sure to enjoy.
Whether you like the music or not, you can't fault Miley -- this young lady works her petite fanny off performing for her fans, and she seems to be having a great time doing it ...
An infectious, high-energy performance picture that overcomes its rather unsavory purpose by barreling forward with a nuclear bomb of tween enthusiasm and vivid displays of over-choreographed celebration.
