'Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert'
This is a music documentary about the concert tour of teenage singer Miley Cyrus, who plays the title character in the Disney Channel TV series Hannah Montana. The concert begins with Miley singing several songs in character as Hannah Montana, which means she wears a blonde wig. Next the Jonas brothers perform a couple of numbers, then Miley comes back, this time as herself, to sing several more songs. Between musical numbers, some behind-the-scenes footage is shown. In a brief segment, Miley plays guitar with her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

 
'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day'
Frances McDormand and Amy Adams star in this lightweight, feel-good dramedy based on Winifred Watson's 1938 novel. The story takes place all in one day in late 1930s London. Guinevere Pettigrew (McDormand) is a homeless, unemployed middle-aged governess who manages to get a job as the social secretary of Delysia Lafosse (Adams), a young cabaret singer struggling to make her way up the showbiz ladder. As Delysia juggles three lovers, the straitlaced Miss Pettigrew gets spruced up and begins to enjoy life, meeting an interesting man (Ciaran Hinds).
