My thoughts on…High School Musical
I know High School Musical has been out for a while now, but ever since I heard that another High School Musical sequel was in the works, I just couldn’t take any more. That movie doesn’t deserve to become a trilogy. One question that I’ve asked myself and others ever since that movie premiered is “how in the hell did it become so popular?” I just can’t see it. Most Disney channel movies are shown for a few dozen times, then fade into obscurity. But this one has lingered like a bad odour, and the stench is getting worse, as High School Musical: Senior Year is set for release in October this year.
Still, why is it so popular? I guess it’s the tunes. Once you hear them, its hard to get them out of your head. I even found myself singing them a couple times. Or maybe it’s the hot cast. The female leads are pretty hot. I know a lot of men are watching Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, waiting for them to mature enough to fantasize about them without the awkward feeling of fantasizing about their own daughters. Teenage girls all over have mad crushes on Zac Efron and Corbin Bleu. I can picture them now. “Like OMG! Zac Efron is sooooo hot! I’m gonna marry him and we’re gonna be together forever! Becky doesn’t think so but she’s sooooo uncool! She just jealous that I’m gonna marry Zac and not her!”
I’m not saying that it’s a bad movie. There are a lot worse movies that have made it to the big screen. It is a Disney channel movie, so you can’t expect an intriguing storyline and compelling characters. The audience consists of mainly kids and pre-teens after all. I’m just saying the movie’s highly overrated, and the franchise has been milked to death, ’cause in addition to the soundtrack and the concert tour, there are countless products bearing the High School Musical brand. There’s even a Monopoly for God’s sake! Some have called it the Grease for this generation. Well, yeah, if Grease were dumbed down and neutered. I wonder what high school would be like if we all spontaneously burst into song? Still, I went to an all boys’ school, so it would be kinda gay.
YES! I’m first!
My 7-year-old is INTO High School Musical, so the almost 5-year-old is, too. Because of her older sister.
Amen, brutha. I don’t get it.
But I do like to rock out to “Grease (Is the Word)” on the elliptical machine. So what the hell do I know?
Egad! A trilogy?
