High School Musical Encore Edition
Added 11/20/2009
This item was purchased as a Christmas Gift not yet given. My 5 year old granddaughter loves High School Musical and told us it's not on free Tv anymore so she can't watch it. I'm sure she will enjoy this. It arrived in good condition and on time. I know nothing of the series and there was little info to aid my choice.

Great Movie and Songs
Added 7/7/2009
For a long time I didn't see a movie with so many good songs and so romantic. It is truly love at first sight. I just love it (and the continues too). If you are romantic and is looking for a hole family movie you won't regret to buy it and the others two HSM2 e HSM3. Enjoy it!

Professionally done pablum
Added 7/2/2009
This movie had to have something going for it to garner so many fans, and I believe it's this: the crisp, super-clean production values. And ya know, the dancing ain't bad. But is there a less believable "basketball star" than Zac Efron? Hey, I'm 58 years old and I could probably beat this guy one on one. The plot may have been simple, but given the target audience (6-10 year olds), it's appropriate that it lacks anything challenging, like irony. Real high school actors hate this movie, or love it because it's so bad. If you've actually seen a well-done high school musical, you understand why: while the villains here are faintly amusing, the less talented principals are strictly baby formula. Swallow it down, kids, and pay no attention to Zac and Vanessa as they laugh their way to the bank.

Overrated
Added 6/30/2009
It's everywhere. There are HSM notebooks, earrings, pens, posters, etc. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are on the cover of almost every single teen magazine. Yet this so called "teen" movie is not for teens at all.
While I will admit that some of the songs were decent, such as "Breaking Free," others were not so good. The plotline of the movie was what I hated the most. There was no development. I did not care about the characters. The dialogue was dumb and repetitive. The whole thing was more like an extra-long Disney Channel show episode, rather than a real movie. Don't forget the "sing-along" option on the DVD menu -- basically, any movie with a sing-along option is geared towards children. Therefore, with the simplistic plot and the bubblegum-pop songs, HSM is not a teen movie. It's a kids' movie.
