But the reporter's portly presence also brings an unwelcome tone of sitcommy physical humor. Miley gets hit in the head a lot (with a coconut, a volleyball, etc.), and the second she places some fresh eggs in the back pocket of her denim overalls, you know she's going to fall on her butt and smash them. But Gunn's obnoxious Oswald Granger bears the brunt of the pain, skidding on a scattered pile of walnuts or tumbling face-first into a puddle of mud. "Hannah Montana" didn't need all that, given the warmhearted family tone
-- the one element that may appeal to audiences beyond the tweens -- and the catchiness of the pop tunes. Not only will you have "Hoedown Throwdown" stuck in your head as you leave the theater, you may end up trying to master the elaborate choreography right alongside your 10-year-old. Resistance is futile. "Hannah Montana: The Movie," a Walt Disney Pictures release, is rated G. Running time: 106 minutes. Two stars out of four. ___ Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
