Weeks ago, we bought tickets for my daughter, Elizabeth, to attend the Hannah Montana 3D concert movie that opened nationwide today for one week only.

The Pilot reported Thursday that tickets are super-scarce. Glad we bought ours when we did.

In a moment of utter insanity, though, I agreed to go with her. Elizabeth is practically counting the minutes to 12:45 p.m. Saturday.

If I don’t make it back alive… you know how much I’ve enjoyed blogging for you all, right? You can send flowers to Sharon.

Saturday, 3:31 p.m.

Oh, that didn’t suck near as much as I thought it would.

In fact, I really have to hand it to Miley Cyrus. At least she writes a lot of her own songs, unlike a lot of the other teen idol folks. And the quality of her music is a lot higher than the stuff we listened to when we were eight, nine, 10 years old. The Archies? The Partridge Family? The Bay City Rollers?

The weirdest part was that the manager of the theater announced up front that this wasn’t like a regular movie. You could feel free to jump up, move around, dance sing or whatever. So by the first 30 minutes or so, there was a mosh pit of nine-year-olds down front.

I agree with the reviewer from MSNBC: Mylie is a very cute 15-year-old. If you’re male and over 30, you’ll leave the theater won over, to some degree, but also with a sense of dread that one day, she’ll be the next Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan.

Not a bad show, though. And Elizabeth loved it. Even though she’s only nine months younger than Miley Cyrus and supposedly a little older than Miley’s target audience.
