High School Musical has been a highly anticipated movie to see. There has been a lot of hype around it and I was rather looking forward to seeing it. However I found myself coming away rather disappointed!
As cheesy as I am aware musicals are meant to be, this one excels itself, being by far the cheesiest film I have ever seen!
The two leading roles however are brilliant singers; I feel they failed casting the male role however as he's just too cheesy and rather camp to me to play a leading male sufficiently! (It seems only John Travolta knows how to do this to perfection in Grease!)
It is nonetheless as far-fetched as musicals are supposed to be, yet the storyline also fails greatly, this could have been a really good movie as the soundtrack is good, I just don't think it lives up to the hype surrounding it.
I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend this one- put Grease in the DVD player instead! Much better!
