High School Musical

Pros: some fun songs, better than most made-for-TV-movies.

Cons: acting is average, overrated, merchandised to death

The Bottom Line: It's good the first couple of times, but eventually loses its shine.

Review: When this movie first came out, it wasn't an overnight success right away. Within the first week, it became a sensation though. This movie isn't that bad--especially for a made-for-TV-movie--but it isn't the most amazing musical/film ever. It is...

Pros: lots of singing and dancing.

Cons: none that I can think of.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves musicals.

Review: I bet most adults would shrug this movie off, thinking it would be boring or stupid because it's a disney channel movie. The reason I say "most adults" is because I've heard opinions favoring it as well as those against seeing it.

I actually...

Pros: The whole atmosphere the film creates is excellent and inviting to all!

Cons: How annoyingly addictive the songs are! Maybe that should be part of the disclaimer!

Review: I must have seen this film about 100 times, possibly more. With it being such a hit in the UK, there is nowhere you can go without seeing anything HSM-related. The film is annoyingly addictive after about 3 views and you eventually give in to having...

Pros: fun, energetic movie.

Cons: classic musical format.

The Bottom Line: Great family movie.

Review: The Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical has backstage action without the unwholesome, it's a smash hit with tween audiences ages 6 to 10 but acceptable for any age. a campus divided into tight groups of jocks, cheerleaders, smart...

Pros: All round good film no matter what audience.

Cons: Some scenes are quite cheesey and cringe worthy.

The Bottom Line: Good to see atleast once with a group when feeling down or with your children for a bit of peace and quiet.

Review: Were you a geeky girl at school and had a huge crush on the most popular guy there? Imagine the feeling if he was falling in love with you to!!! All thanks to both of your love of singing. Two teenagers who don't know each other are at the same...

Pros: A good teen movie lots of singing and dancing

Cons: Nothing

The Bottom Line: I would recomMend this movie for any teenager or child who likes the these types of school musical movies.

Review: A teen movie from the Disney channel.
set around a high school. two teenagers are forced to sing together at a karaoke party during the christmas break and discover they share a love for music.

Not expecting to see each other again...

Pros: It is a terrific movie.

Cons: The acting skills are poor.

The Bottom Line: I love this movie and I know you will to.

Review: This movie was one of the best I have seen. Some say it is cheesy, but I think it is a great movie to watch.

Bonus Features:

It has behind the scenes featurette, we're all in this together music video, never seen music video I...

Pros: Fun songs in a good story

Cons: I rented it instead of just buying it.

The Bottom Line: This is a fun musical aimed at kids. Adults will be able to enjoy it, too.

Review: This was just supposed to be a cheap TV movie made for The Disney Channel. Instead, it has become a huge hit in the pre-teen crowd with a top selling soundtrack, a concert tour happening during the 2006 holiday season, and two DVD releases...

Pros: Well, Zac Efron did go on to do a real musical called Hairspray

Cons: Remember when The Brady Bunch did bubblegum pop? Compared to this, the Bradys were cutting-edge

The Bottom Line: Not even bad enough to be campy fun. Give your child enough credit to not feed this sludge to his/her brain

Review: (DISCLAIMER: Even though I'd despised High School Musical, I acknowledge in the following review that millions of American viewers love it. Don't bother writing me hate mail about what non-taste I have. As I also wrote in the...

Pros: fun, catchy songs, fine for kids under 10

Cons: cheesy for adults, predictable- oh well.

The Bottom Line: works for me.

Review: I must admit when it comes to films for my kids, I tend to be pretty particular. I had avoided High School Musical for years thinking it was for kids maybe in 4th grade and up, but over Thanksgiving weekend my crew and I watched the first film- just...
