For girls of a certain age, Hannah Montana: Best Of Both Worlds could be their Woodstock. No shit. It was a brave move taking the ridiculously popular Disney Channel TV series, a channel that usually sends their product straight to DVD, and releasing it in the multiplexes - and what an absolute genius idea it was to release it in 3D. For those of you out of the loop (including me until this morning) the series follows 16-year-old Miley Stewart (Cyrus), a normal, everyday schoolgirl who by night transforms herself into a rocking pop star that parents like (she's clean cut, see?). Best Of Both Worlds Concert is a behind-the-scenes documentary of one of her sell-out shows. What else can you say about this? Okay, it isn't exactly U23D, but if your kids are fans of the TV show and have the CDs, they'll love this. If they haven't seen the show and don't own any of the CDs, rest assured they will soon - so you might as well get a head start now and start snapping them up. Plus, your kids will think you're cool.
