Hannah Montana - Life Is What You Make It [DVD]

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. "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak" finds Hannah losing her voice after an especially long concert and in need of a surgery that could change her life forever. Miley and her father clash in "I Want You To Want Me...." 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
