I don't know if any of you caught this on Disney today, but I loved it! OK it's incredibly cheesy, and the vocals are all way too overproduced, as always is in any teen movie where they have to sing, and OK there weren't really enough songs considering it's a musical and the songs they did have weren;t that special, but still.
I loved it!
We're soaring...we're flying! I thought it was surprisingly well acted, and it made me laugh at lot. I think the confessions song was the best, especially the guy who bakes. And Afro boy is HOT. And the main girl has a really pretty, delicate, charming look to her.

Afro boy is damn hot. Main boy is not. It's hilariously bad - we watched it on a lazy Sunday afternoon, which I suspect is the only time I would have managed to get through the whole thing. But we also loved it fo all Ezzie's reasons.

Yeah...sometimes I actually prefer really bad films when they're somehow good, especially when the actors are doing a really good job with what they have. Ah good show.

I've only seen the adverts, but am disgusted by main boys presumption that he can be both a sports and singing star. Leave some talent niches for everyone else you over enthusiastic bouncy cunt.

You've got a lot in common with the chorus line: No, no, no, nooooooooooo No, no, no Stick to the stuff you know If you wanna be cool Follow one simple rule Don't mess with the flow, no no Stick to the status quo Let the jocks sing! And bake! And let the fat girl dance like a ho! I bloody love this film, even though it's shitty. However, the rubbish-evil girl and her rubbish-gay brother are far better singers and performers than the other two. Darbus got it wrong, unless she took points away for the incestuous element that they'd bring to the love story.

Is main boy Zac Efron.
Not sure if he is inappropriately fanciable a la Calvin Goldspink and Stormbreaker.

This was the gayest thing I've ever seen. I loved it.

I quite fancied the gay brother. He reminded me of Michael Pitt without the ridiculous lips.
That lead boy can fuck right off.

Things I loved about this:
* Music-al * The boy who bakes * The Dad / Coach. FINE. I thought he was 2 different people for a short moment. My mind was already writing that slash fic. * The general fun, happy, dancy feel of it all.

That lead boy can fuck right off. He was hot so long as you looked at him from an angle that allowed you to see the eyebrows. It's all about the eyebrows. EDIT: Have just been to IMDB to check his birthdate to ascertain the potential wrongness of that opinion, and it's okay. Just.

The baking boy was indeed a beauty. And gay boy was quite cute, even in those god awful Will Young sponsored hats.
I preferred Camp though, although I can't see that being shown on early evening tv over Christmas, sadly.

Okay, I have to ask:
Ryan and Sharpay are the result of some serious inbreeding: y/n?
(And I don't wish to be mean, but was that Ashley Tisdale's real nose? I spent half the movie trying to figure out if it was a comedy prosthetic...)

Sad girls at my school genuinely like it for it's merit. They actually think it's great, but not in the lowculture way. And they're nearly seventeen.
And a second one is in production!
I haven't seen it all properly yet so I really shouldn't form an opinion.

Did Alyson Reed have a prosthetic face or has she really aged that badly?

Much to my shame I did quite enjoy this and do now have the main song stuck in my head.
I lost quite a lot of sympathy for the main two kids when I saw how massive their houses were though. Toni and Guy haircut boy had a proper 'Cribs' basketball court in his garden. His dad is only a P.E. teacher! Latina girl's house was like a National Trust estate as well. She had a double bed! No one at secondary school has a double bed!
So they're both good-looking, talented, have a good group of friends AND are really loaded and we're meant to think that it's oh so sad that they can't sing?

I couldn't watch it. The songs were just...not songs. There were was barely a tune throught the whole film. I wanted so much to like it in a 'this is terrible' sort of way. I liked evil girl in the pink Chanel though. She should have her own movie.

She had a double bed! No one at secondary school has a double bed! In fact, if I remember rightly, it was a four-poster bed!

It was indeed and stupid Troy didn't even try to get her to come and have a lie down on it with him. A lie down which in a normal teen movie would have turned into a sleaze. That and the singing is clear proof that Troy is a gay and his dad has no one to blame but himself for telling Troy to stop spending time with girls and instead spend all his time training (and by default subsequently showering) with his male team mates including hot Afro boy.
