Hannah Montana The Movie - Like Slumdog Millionaire except good. After my papers and stuff I'll write more in depth things all up in the spoilerific thread.
Actually, they are both purely escapist cinema. The difference is that one rides on a high horse and the other just exists to entertain without masquerading as something more.
I feel like I may be too lazy for this.

Mitt Liv Som Hund (My Life As A Dog, 1985) ***1/2http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/review-mitt-liv-som-hund-1985/Well done coming of age type story, although it's more a quirky slice of life than coming of age. Obviously lying to the kid about his dog got me going, but it was a well acted and interesting movie with honest portrayals of youth.

I'll stick to my assertion that it's practically the same as Hannah Montana, except not as well paced or engaging.
