"Great"

By RebeccaSaterf, May 20, 2011

This episode was ok but the only thing that I hated about this episode was that gold-digging ho of a stepmother. She made me want to just go off on her. She treated Miley like trash and used Robby like tissue. The way she took away the one special drink that Miley and Robby shared just because she was allergic. She better be glad she could not hear me because if she could I would just pop through my tv and strangle her. Other than that, the episode was good. The part that I liked was the Jackson-hermit thing that was LOL and the rap at the end. I did like the house it was so cool and very unique.moreless

"Fair"

By futuramarama, Jul 04, 2010

first off, jesse mccartney (or however you spell his name) was way too dramatic. "No, being rejected in person is enough, I don't need it in writing." Um... wow, that line makes me mad. I also hate the laugh track audience going "Aw" as if they are sad. IMO he is being overdramatic with that line.

The rest was good I guess, the mom was too mean for me to enjoy and I didn't really laugh a lot, though I did think the episode had a nice plot and that is why it gets a C+/B- as a grade from memoreless

A good episode

"Superb"

By alirk, May 09, 2010

I liked this episode. Yes, I know, most would say that nothing important really happened. And maybe that's true, but maybe it's not. Miley saw how good she really has it. That could change her attitude in future episodes. Then again maybe her attitude won't change at all. Either way, it was a fun episode! I like when things are switched up a bit. And things were switched up ALOT in this episode! Filler? Perhaps. But, ya know what? I thought it was darn-good filler! I honestly don't think I've seen an episode of Hannah Montana that I didn't like. This episode included! Good job!moreless

Could have been better,but not bad.

8.0

"Great"

By LoveyWithJoshie, Apr 14, 2009

This episode was a little boring.Certainly not one I would want to watch all the time. I especially hate that they just HAD to have dumb Jesse McCartney on this show.That made the episode loose 1 star. - 1 *. and because the show got a little dull at times that is minus one star again. - 1 *. Other than that, I would have to say that this episode is pretty good.Not super, or perfect.I think this one could have had some improvements, like: 1) NO McCartney,I don't care what people say. And he is NOT good looking. 2) Could have had a trick ending.Like Miley could have stuck as Hannah forever,then they have a curve. 3) To conclude,they could have picked the episode up at times.Like make it a little funnier at times.

Other then these complaints,the episode was good. 8 STARS.moreless

Miley wishes upon a star and she becomes Hannah Montana all the time.

8.4

"Great"

By X-Inator, Jun 26, 2008

I liked this episode. The plot was pretty interesting, but I mainly liked it because I like fantastic plots. I was also glad that this one, unlike a lot of other ones, wasn't trying to be funny the entire episode. It wasn't funny in the least bit. And when I watched it again, it wasn't as good as the first time. I also thought the moral was kind of annoying and such a cliche. That is why I gave it an 8.4. It was pretty good and was probably in my top 20 favorite episodes, but there were a few problems.moreless
