What happens

Hannah Montana: The Movie is a 2009 American teen musical comedy drama film based on the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana. Directed by Peter Chelsom and written by Dan Berendsen, the film stars series regulars Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Moises Arias, Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles, as well as Lucas Till, Vanessa Williams, Margo Martindale and Melora Hardin. The film tells of how Miley Stewart's popularity and alternate celebrity persona begins to take over her life, so her father convinces her to take a trip to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to get some perspective on what matters most in life. Hannah Montana: The Movie is the second theatrical film based on a Disney Channel Original Series after The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), and is the second theatrical release of the Hannah Montana franchise, with the concert film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert having been released the previous year. It is also the only theatrical film produced by It's a Laugh Productions and Millar/Gough Ink. Filming began in April 2008, much of it occurring in Columbia, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California, and was completed in July 2008. Hannah Montana: The Movie was released theatrically by Walt Disney Pictures on April 10, 2009, in the United States. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success, grossing $169.2 million worldwide against a $30 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
