I'm shocked to see this story posted here because I never knew about this "High School Musical" thing until a couple of my students told me about it. One duped me into watching it with her (it's a residential school for kids with emotional and drug problems), and all I can say is thank God I'm not a kid these days. Gawdawful grue, and that lead kid looks like he's possessed by demons, which would make him the wimpiest possessed person ever (all the males are kinda girly, while the girls are split between insufferably saccharine and ho'-ish). The music was dreadful, the lyrics worse. I liked the outdoors locations of the golf course. Unfortunately, I wanted to hit a couple of balls off the wooden heads of the actors now and then.

This was pure torture for me, but I'm probably 30 years older than the target audience. The obssessing over materialism and looks and makeup and PC multiculti stuff was annoying, but this show would be fine for five-year-olds. Anyone else will be bored.

My tween daughters love both of the HSM movies and I try (unsuccessfully) not to rag on it too much. The first HSM had a munchkin basketball team that was unintentionally funny. None of the players were 6 foot yet they won the state championship. Yahoo for Spud Webb.

Lol! You’re entitled to your opinion, but I so very much disagree with you.

And materialism? Were you even paying attention? The whole movie was about being true to yourself, and not allowing money and power to be the driving force in your life. Perfect for today’s generation!

I know how you feel. I have a young cousin that watches this crap, and it makes me want to poke my own eyes out. I remember when the Disney Channel actually showed Disney cartoons and was enjoyable.

Your take, I am sure, is exactly what mine would have been if I’d had to see that. Yow!
