HSM 3

So, I just saw High School Musical: Senior Year, and I actually really liked it! It was cute and entertaining. Yes, it was really corny, to the point where I was laughing at the corniness, but that is what Disney movies are about. The actors in the movie are extremely talented in singing and dancing which makes it enjoyable to watch. The plot was also relatable to anyone watching it, well except maybe really young kids. It reminded me of graduating from high school, saying goodbye to friends and going off to college, which is a bittersweet experience. Parents can relate to it as well in that they try to guide their kids in the direction they believe they should go, but their kids decisions are ultimately theirs. I definitely think that Disney upped their game on this one since it was in theaters and the switch to the big screen is paying off (literally) since the movie premiered at number one.

Just a few things that bothered me:

• Some outfits and dance moves were a little inappropriate for the target age groupTroy and
• Gabriella were just way too into each other for a Disney movie, you can tell they are a couple off screen
• Some parts/songs reminded me of Rent and Greece
• They supposedly cut a scene from the movie where Zac Efron dances and sings in the shower, which was probably a good move, but it would have been nice! Stills (seen below) of the scene were sold on eBay.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this movie, if you like this sort of thing, or even if you don't...Zac Efron is easy on the eyes. :)

Let me know what you think of it!

It's Time to Turn It Up, Game On!

High School Musical 3: Senior Year premieres in theaters tomorrow, October 24th. I have seen the first two, so of course I have to see the third.
Ha Ha yes, I know what you are thinking. "How lame"...but that's OK, I know it's lame.

Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) are back for their senior year, but realize that after graduation they will be separated come Fall when they attend different colleges. To express their hopes and fears about the future, they join with their friends to produce a spring musical and make the best of their senior year together. Of course there is a big basketball game and prom mixed in there as well.

The first two installments were released on the Disney Channel, but they are releasing this one in theaters, meaning a bigger budget and a lot more profit.

From the preview, this movie looks a little corny, but it is a Disney movie and a musical, it is going to be corny. It will be interesting to see how much more mature this one is compared to the others, since they are seniors in high school. I also wonder if this will be the last in the series. I think it should be. These actors need to move on to different roles, but we will have to see if the whole acting thing is actually going to work out for them outside of Disney.

I will let you know what I think after I check it out!
