When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

When a soundtrack of a movie can raise my level of enjoyment, well then i don´t know how good that makes the movie. But i loved this film when i was younger and i still think it´s very good. The soundtrack is probably the best thing about it. But the soundtrack is so great it makes an already good film great. If you like musicals, more specifically, musicals directed to kids an teens, this film is for you.

When I was a little boy about like 7 I was in love with this movie ans so was my best friend.We had the karaoke High School Musical version and we would always sing the song in the beginning of the movie, the duet with Zac and Gabriella. But today in my math class we watched it and I have to say did this movies acting get worse. I mean this movie was the bomb in 1st Grade.The actors seem to say their lines too fast and they have no passion in their voice. I mean I know they were 15 when they shot this movie but, thats no excuse for poor acting. I just feel so tense when I watch this movie and the two leads don't even look like their in love.I thought their singing was good and then I heard that Zac Efron wasn't even singing in this movie and someone else recorded his voice for him. Gabriella was pretty and she sang good but she had poor acting skills. I mean Vanessa Hudgens has improved but not in this movie.So I suggest if you are going to watch this watch it with your kids and play on your phone during it or you will fall asleep.Plus Zac Efron looks like a rejected Justin Bieber in this movie.
