alphie boy, I agree with you. It was a nice watch and there were some interesting parts, and some not-so-interesting. In simple terms, it was your basic Disney tv-movie. I thought the singing was fine, considering it was made for TV. There wasn't any fantastic singing, but they weren't off-tune. It started off kind of corny, but it began to pull together. The plot is very cliche. As I was watching the movie, I thought, "I've seen this before." The script was weak, and some of the scenes were awkward. Their lip-syncing was terrible! However, their acting was decent and I have always been a sucker for the Romeo main characters. It was all around a pleasure, but nothing to get excited about.
Probably the best number in there is Stick To The Status Quo . The choreography was good, the choir was nice, the tune was catchy and it was very Broadway-esque.
And Zac Efron is adorable. I want to pinch his cheeks. If you're asking which cheeks, I haven't decided yet.

"Find your grail, your GRAIL!"
"But it's not missing. It's right on the counter where it's supposed to- defying gravity, my giant cup's gone!"
"Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. How do you measure... measure a year?"
"How many times do I have to tell you, it's five hundred twenty-five thousand, five hundred and eighty-five point thirty-two minutes. You will never graduate if you keep basing your math on showtunes."
"You ruin Broadway for me."
"As well I should."
