Budding romance, discovering one's personal identity, and the struggle to become self-sufficient are challenges every teenager faces, but things are even more complicated for teenage pop star Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) who's trying to conceal her on-stage identity from her fellow classmates and just be normal girl Miley Stewart. Miley has managed to put thoughts of television heartthrob Jake Ryan (Cody Linley) out of her mind during his six month absence, but now that he's back from shooting his movie in "Achy Jakey Heart Parts One and Two," Miley is uncertain about whether or not she wants to date Jake. Add in strong feelings of jealousy regarding his popularity, her own resolve to keep her pop star identity a secret from her schoolmates and the public at large, and a growing unease about what kind of person Jake really is inside, and Miley is one confused teenager. "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak" finds Hannah losing her voice after an especially long concert and in need of a surgery that causes her to reexamine her whole sense of identity and could change her life forever. Miley and her father clash in "I Want You To Want Me. . .To Go To Florida" when Miley asserts her independence by flying to a concert across the United States without her father's permission. In the end, it looks like both Miley and her father have a little growing up to do. All four episodes are brimming with great music, comedy from Miley's brother Jackson (Jason Earles) and dad Robbie Ray (Billy Ray Cyrus), and a wholesome message about believing in oneself. Bonus features include Billy Ray Cyrus's music video "Ready, Set, Don't Go" and a backstage look at keeping secrets with the Hannah Montana cast. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Good messages, plus a great music video, December 12, 2007

By	Julie Neal "The Complete Walt Disney World" (Sanibel Island, Fla.) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The music and the messages are all pretty good in these four episodes of the "Hannah Montana" television series. Believe in yourself, then rock out -- yeah, it's not that deep, but it's better than a lot of what girls hear these days. Why buy this when it's already on TV? So your kids always have a TV alternative to scanning through "The Girls Next Door," "Rock of Love" and all that other stuff.

As for the bonus features, the Billy Ray Cyrus music video "Ready, Set, Don't Go" is surprisingly moving. It's filled with touching old snapshots and video clips of he and his daughter as she grows up. If you, like me, have a teenage daughter, it's hard to watch it without tearing up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cyrus Clan is #1 with me, November 22, 2007

By	S. Hines "Celtic Right Cross" (Levelland, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this DVD for my 9 year old step-daughter and she absolutely loves it. As for my part, I would rather see my kid enjoying Hannah Montana over the likes of Britney, Christina, and the rest.

I've heard and read such good things about Billy Ray Cyrus and the way he and his wife have raised Mylie that I'll support any item that my kid wants to get from the Hannah Montana line of products.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my fave., May 8, 2008

A Kid's Review

This is the third Hannah Montana DVD to be released.
These are the episodes:

* Achy Jakey Heart Pt. 1
* Achy Jakey Heart Pt. 2
* I Am Hannah Hear Me Croak
* I Want You To Want Me To Go To Florida

Being a Hannah Montana fanatic, I thought about going out and getting it the first day it was released. But, instead, I waited and got it at the library. And, boy, am I glad I waited! Personally, I think this DVD is really boring. For one thing, these just aren't my fave episodes. And for another, these are really popular episodes, that everyone has already seen at least twice.

As far as Bonus Features go, they have two. Billy Ray Cyrus singing "Ready, Set, Don't Go"; and a "Behind the Scenes" with the cast.

The music video is okay, but like the episodes, everyone has already seen it a half dozen times. Also, on the thing with the cast, they ask really boring questions, like "Would you like to have another identity?" or "Are you good with secrets?" They ask those same questions in every interview and magazine article!

Overall, this is a DVD chock full of, well, nothing new. But, if you could find it on sale somewhere for 5 bucks, it might be nice to have, just to add to your collection.
