Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Perry Seibert
High School Musical 2 is much slicker than its predecessor, and this works both to the film's advantage and its detriment. On the plus side, the choreographer is much sharper this time around. Many of the early big numbers work like old-school musical numbers from the forties and fifties. The opening set piece, a celebration of summer vacation, showcases the best of what director/choreographer Kenny Ortega can do. The people and the camera move with a kinetic energy that communicates the joy of summer. Spoiled Sharpay's ode to being "Fabulous" joyfully skewers the trendy, flashy fashions surrounding a Paris Hilton wannabe. Where the first film incorporated basketball into a dance, this film has a softball number that ups the ante, pointedly stressing that dancing requires just as much athletic ability as sports. All of these numbers benefit from the bigger budget, and the more assured choreography. Sadly, the blandly generic story makes it a less successful work overall. The story isn't even about a High School Musical; it's about a summer camp talent show performance. So basically the title is now a brand as opposed to a description of the movie. The story, though, boils down to a rather uninspired tale of a boy being tempted away from the girl he loves. The first film, with its message of never being afraid to be who you are even if it means doing things your friends don't expect, offered a satisfying tale of self-respect and self-discovery. This time around the story seems to be getting in the way of the songs instead of being their reason for existing. High School Musical 2 offers many more winning individual moments than the film that inspired it, but the first movie works better as a whole.

    A great family night movie

    Disney pixar has made another amazing video. This one is about a school called east high. Also know as the wildcats. A teenager named Sharpay loves Troy Bolton, so she offers him a job to work at lava springs.It could lead to an adventure. I would recommend to buy the movie. Your kids will love it. ENJOY!

    This movie was great and better than the first. Every cast member upped their game and it showed. The songs are great especially "Fabulous", "Work This Out", and "Bet On It". I am a teen and I fell in love with it!

    I am 13 years old and I found this movie immature and cliche, especially the ending. I would recommend this movie to approximately 8-10 but definitely nobody older than 11. I do not see what people really enjoyed in this movie.
