What Parents Need to Know
This review of Hannah Montana was written by Pam Gelman
Parents need to know that within the context of silly, preteen humor, main characters face normal adolescent challenges: How do I fit in? Will my friends like me if I'm different? How do I get her/him to notice me? Girls and boys talk about each other in the context of romantic relationships, dating, and kissing, but no sex. Tweens will certainly notice the glitz and glamour of the pop princess, but her actual appeal is how she faces everyday challenges in this dynamic part of development.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Hannah's fear that her peers will react differently to her when they find out she's a celebrity. How can we be true to ourselves and also feel like we're fitting in and part of a peer group?
- Why is it important to show respect to others? Do the ways that the characters talk about and react to other girls and boys liv up to that standard?
- Is it realistic for a young girl to have seemingly endless access to clothes and accessories? In what ways is Hannah/Miley's life realistic?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Hannah Montana is from the producers of That's So Raven; obviously, Disney knows how to style a show (attractive kids, popular jargon) to appeal to female tweens. While the main characters are all white, there's the usual sprinkling of girls and boys of color to round out the supporting cast.

BAD influence.
I remember talking with my best friend about how exposed Hanna Montana is now. Her bra is basically exposed! She tries to change people from who they are, they kiss and flirt way to much - REALLY just wait until you're ready to marry before starting in all that icky stuff. I never watch Hanna Montana and for the safety and childhood of your kids, don't watch this show.

Hannah montana sucks, here's why.
Hannah Montana sucks. It's aimed at non pubescent girls that don't know the difference between nice and stupid. To be honest, I don't have the Disney channel any more seeing as how I never used to watch it, but when the first episode aired I changed the channel because I knew it was going to be another 'girly' show. But, looking at all the kids reviews compared to the adults reviews, I must say I'm impressed with Disney. They have once again made a successful show aimed at kids 6 to whatever. Frankly, I think the show is uninteresting and boring, but remember, if there is a show with fashion and the main star is a girl, then expect ratings to go through the roof. Now, the shows star is Miley Cyrus, a normal girl by day, and a pop star by night, the one thing that gets me all the time, is the fact that she sounds and acts like Hannah Montana ALL THE TIME. She never tries to hide up her voice in front of people she actually knows, and the people she's talking in front of must have issues because there is no way you could not tell Hannah from Miley. I mean COME ON, the only thing remotely different from the two is THE WIG!! As if someone wouldn't say,'Oh hey Miley, you know... you have the same body features/facial features as Hannah Montana. Nope, no one ever does. Because that would ruin the show. All in all, it's a pretty dull show, if you have ANY common sense, don't bother watching because you'll end up saying 'Wait, how do you not see the difference between the two?'. And you may notice that most of the 'kid' reviews are from ages 9-12, most of them saying 'OMG SO FUNNY HAHA AWSOME GO WACTH DIS ITS THE KOOLEST OH EM GEE!' Yeah, ignore those.
