Disney Channel High School Cliche
High School Musical, to put it simply, has no good aspects, period. We thought that it might at least be funny, since there was so much fuss about it. The reviews for the movie on www.imdb.com were, for the most part, ecstatic, saying how much they adored this Disney movie, how it was the best Disney Channel movie EVER and how it was cute and sweet and brought them back to their high school days.
Whoa.
The performances of main characters were ridiculously lame. I realize that the film isn't meant to be taken serious, but this was worse than just goofy. It was bad acting. Each one of those Disney stars (who were 18 through 22 years old, by the way) could have played their characters with more grace and reality, even if the movie was going for unrealistically cheesy.
The screenplay had about two lines that I found myself laughing at, but the rest was a ridiculous jumble of stupidness and mushiness. Ack. The story was all about peer pressure (fahhhhh, I'm so sick of peer pressure) and was otherwise stuffed with the same old high school cliches. Yeah, thanks, but we already learned about high school cliches in about thirty thousand other movies, such as Mean Girls and so forth. *scream*
Anyway, I don't have much more to say on the subject of this movie, because I honestly don't give a crap about it. It was stupid, cheesy, lame, not really funny, cliched, disgusting, blecky, and ultimately not worth watching.
Oh, and I didn't mention that the singing was excruciating. Efron and Hudgens were horrific, their voices edited to the point of vulgarity in the studio. Why couldn't they just let them sing? I guess they were just that bad.

"Edited to the point of vulgarity"... Oh, I'm going to try that at home!

Thank you for sharing your honest opinion on HSM in your non-library voice. Very refreshing. You are hilarious.
