I love IT. It's the part more important than I never have of my childhood

The other night, having nothing else to do, I popped in the DVD of High School Musical just to see what the "fuss" is all about (My younger sister owns the HSM dolls, clothes, towels, movies, CDs, video games, sheet music, etc). Though not usually drawn to the musical genre or Disney Channel dramatic fare, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this film held my interest and entertained me for its duration.Plot-wise, HSM doesn't deviate too far from standard Disney programming. When new girl to school Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) begins to form a relationship with school beau Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), it draws the ire of popular girl Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) and facilitates an overhaul of East High's social cliques.What sets the storyline apart from, say, a typical episode of Hannah Montana, though, is the way the school stereotypes are portrayed. Instead of getting too preachy, Disney instead wildly accentuates those stereotypes and lets the simple messages of diversity and acceptance speak for themselves. Troy is the All-American boy every girl has a crush on, Gabriella is the stunningly beautiful girl next door, and Sharpay is the over-the-top princess who rules the school with her status.Of course, HSM needs to (as a musical) ultimately be judged on the quality of its musical numbers...the category in which it succeeds fantastically. From the very beginning, when a karaoke DJ hands microphones to Troy and Gabriella and tells them "you might thank me for this someday", viewers will realize the quality of the musical numbers about to come. Though Efron does not provide his own vocals, he IS able to adroitly portray the conflicted Troy (basketball vs. singing) through acting and dance. Hudgens' tunes are usually softer, but very poignant ("When There Was Me And You", in which Hudgens flies solo, is my favorite piece in the film), while Tisdale is probably the most talented actor/singer/dancer of the bunch in her fantastically choreographed and special effects-laden numbers.So, if you are a parent/older sibling who wants to know what make your child/younger sibling go crazy over HSM, I would encourage you to sit down and watch this film (preferably with them). Even the most jaded critics will be humming (or outright belting) the catchy melodies long after the end credits roll.

The first HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL was just incredible and that's what I am going to be reviewing.The plot, I won't explain, because you don't need to know or do you already know what the plot is about because it was really amazing and fantastic.Now, I get into the other stuff about this film. High School Musical is just incredible with every single aspect of this film and this film is just really spectacular in it's story and amazing dancing choreography.The story is really amazing and fantastic, but the film is definitely good in telling a great story. Disney Channel done a great job and it is really amazing the way they told this movie. It does really cool things and there are some scenes that I hate and I don't want to get into that.The acting is amazing in this film. Zac Elfron and Vanessa Hudgens plays the two main characters and they had good chemistry. Lucas Grabeel and Ashley Tisdale were really good as brother and sister Ryan and Sharpay Evans and fantastic in this film, but their performances were a little bit over the top.Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman plays Chad and Taylor and they do a really good job as well and they give incredible performances.The music and songs in this film are really good amazing and very fantastic and the dance choreography for the musical numbers are really amazing and spectacular and I think it really does shine out.Overall, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL gets a 7 out of 10 and the film is really amazing in everything in detail, from the acting to the music to the dancing to the story to the dialogue, this film is really amazing and it stands out as the weakest film of the trilogy to some people and for me, this is the weakest of the trilogy, but it also a stand-out of the three films.
