The first High School Musical was cute. I only watched because someone was in the room or something... I don't remember. hehe
Anyway, for a movie that premiered on the TV, I think it did pretty well. I love musicals and this was a teeny-bopper cutsie movie. The cheesy dancing, the simple songs, the over-acting. I will admit it was way over the top but cute, in it's own way.
I watched the second one because of that distinct nature of us humans to want to watch sequels and whatnot. *ugh* It was not so great. I thought it was rushed and only put out there because the first one did so well.

High School Musical 3
I'm really hesitant to blog about High School Musical 3 (HSM3), but I'm going put my embarrassment behind me and do it anyway.
Now, HSM3 was great. I've seen it three times now (only because I work at a movie theater... but that's another post for another day). I actually got caught dancing and singing at work when I thought no one was watching... how embarrassing! I couldn't even think of a good excuse fast enough as to why I was twirling around singing "All I Wanna Do, Is Be With You." (Here is a shady version to scene in the movie with the song---> Be with you.)
But luckily this particular manager likes me and probably thought that I already felt pretty ridiculous enough with out an admonishment.
In HSM3, the characters from the previous movies are in their the senior year and are making decisions that will affect the rest of their life. The main character Troy as to make the life changing decision about whether or not to pursue a career in basketball or the performing arts. He struggles with the choice as his father and best friend basketball and his girlfriend Gabriella wants him to follow his heart.
Side note: One weird thing I noticed about the movie was that everyone was drinking tea. It was a little over the top. I don't know what message Disney is trying to say. All people in the performing arts drink tea? The guy sitting behind me in the theater actually said, "what the heck is up with everyone drinking tea." Just thought that was funny.
Any way, the singing was better the the other two previous films and the dancing was OK. I like the fact that the movie was G-rated and still was enjoyable. I like the fact that it showed a glimpse of what important decisions you have to make about your life. My favorite scene was with "Rocket Man" and Sharpé. I won't spoil it but it was funny.
Overall, if you don't mind lots of singing and pointless dancing, see it. It was cute and fun for everyone.

Great review but until I have kids in my home I stay away from anything with the words, Live-action, Disney and Musical.

Lols!! I tried c:
I think I'm the only person in the world who enjoyed that movie. But then again, I'm a dork.
NOT a high school musical fan at all...
what gets to me is how damn catchy it is! Here i am living in east africa and almost 1 one out every 3 people i know is like humming a HSM tune or has thier head in the whole high school musical bubble...gosh
it gets irritating!
LoL @ the tea thing!
...to put it in a more politically incorrect perspective, as I so frequently do, I think Disney movies cause gender confusion with young fans because of the oft vague sexual orientation of their male protagonists.
I worded it as nicely as I could. ;)
But I know what you mean about liking things you didn't think you would. I really, really like School of Rock with Jack Black though I know that movie is meant for teens.
