Yes, that horribly wonderful movie is on again tonight and for your viewing pleasure it will be on twice in a row!

Disney Channel at 8/7c and 10/9c.

Oh and tonight they will be broadcasting the sing-along and dance-along versions so get out your tap shoes and hide the kids!


(I posted this on the off-topic board too as I wasn't quite sure where it belonged.)

I can't believe this movie is getting so much attention, it's just another cheesy Disney movie. I've heard there is going to be a sequal next year and a clothing line. oy vey.

You have to admitt as cheesy movies go, it's pretty entertaining. The only thing that scares me is young kids thinking that musical theater sounds like whiny voiced teens lip synching to pop songs.... anyway i adore it. (Clothing line...?)

Starting in ten minutes, I can't contain my excitment.

Is it true that none of the cast members in this movie actually sing their own part?

This movie is making me cry a little bit... why do they have to make musical theatre look so bad??

Why is there a post dedicated to this?

Debating if I want to watch it or not. My favorite line is def. at the end when Sharpy of w.e her name is, loves the cookies and the guy says "Next time if you lucky I will make you some Creme brulee!

So far the only thing I like is "Evaporate, tall person!"

Why I despise HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL with a burning passion:

1) It totally disrespects and destroys the whole art of musicals in our modern day. Yes, it can be debated that singing randomly is cheesy in any show, but I feel it is a deeper expression of feelings for the characters. But when stereotypical sports guys ae mad at one for joinging the drama club because it's not the status quo for jocks to sing and dance, then why oh why are they themselves singing and dancing to an awful song in the middle of the cafeteria?

2) The drama teacher teaches all the teens that we love the theatre for bad singing, awful songs, and uninspired brother and sister duo who are always trying to play the romantic leads!

3) It is a passionless movie that is only popular because pop songs are incorporated, pleasing the American Idol Generation.

There are so many more reasons, but they're too lengthy and I don't feel like typing away for hours on one subject.

Hmm, well I love it specifically for its cheesiness. I mean if Carrie the Musical has a following...

Oh, now we get the sing-along version!

I think it's terrible. All of the kids have computerized whiney voices.

The script is bad, and the plot is forgettable. No offense, this is just my opinion.

I am so disturbed. I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed by the show or by the fact I'm staying up to watch it instead of sleeping.

its awful.

I think the movies based on musical theatre kids mean well.. but never pull it off.

A documentary on highschool kids putting on musicals would probably be much more entertaing than this.

I'm still wondering why a new thread was made for this, when it is common knowledge that most BWWer's despise this movie!

I watched this for the first time tonight.. and I must say... it was quite terrible.

Holy cow, I love this movie and it's camp-yness! All of the theatre jokes had me in stitches. I think though that my FAVORITE part is when Ryan and Shar-pay are in the dressing room warming up and "giving energy" and "trusting" each other. It's just SOO THEATRE!
Re-reading this, I sound like one of thos OMG EYE-DYNA WIKKED teeny-bopper kids, Oy.
Did anybody here like the indy-film Camp btw? I loved it, especially w/all of the Sodheim refrences and cameo!
