This Would Be Awkward in a Movie Theatre

Horse runs away, girl falls off (gracefully, of course, without the requisite "thump!" that happens to the rest of us lesser mortals), girl runs unsuccessfully after horse... boy on horse chases first horse and cue slo-mo and hair flip to display pop star's perfectly conditioned hair as idyllic music highlights the natural wonder of the scene.

It's quite sad that my first post is about watching Hannah Montana: The Movie. Equally as sad is the fact that I'm seventeen and engrossed in the film.

I told Mrs. G that the only reason why I wanted to watch this movie was for the catfight between "Hannah" and Tyra Banks, and I must say, that was definitely a clinker. Hair pulling, leaping off of couches, the tackling... everything you expect from two divas clawing at each other for a pair of shoes. If only that pair of shoes weren't so ugly. White and black stripes with jute detailing? It's like prison-country-hick. Which, admittedly, does relate to the movie somewhat.

As a viewer of Hannah Montana, the movie and the episodes on TV that came before it, I am a fan of, at the very least, the casts' (minus Billy Ray Cyrus) closets--what girl wouldn't adore the revolving closet inside the closet that Miley Stewart enjoys? And the racks of shoes--preprepared with matching accessories--that slide out from the wall?

Sure, it's somewhat juvenile and totally unconventional for most people living in the real world, but even Hannah in her full wardrobe can fit in with us regular folks. With her froufy dresses, bright neon tights, sequined tunics, bejeweled jackets and blonde wig, she's a regular ganguro girl from Tokyo...

...displaced in the US.
