DVD Review: High School Musical Encore Edition
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was purchased as a Christmas Gift not yet given. My 5 year old granddaughter loves High School Musical and told us it's not on free Tv anymore so she can't watch it. I'm sure she will enjoy this. It arrived in good condition and on time. I know nothing of the series and there was little info to aid my choice.DVD Review: High School Re-Union
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this item for my grandaughter. She has watched it at least 7 times all the way through, her mother tells me, she has had it since May of 09. It must be really good.
They delivered it quickly, new as promised.

DVD Review: Great Movie and Songs
Summary: 5 Stars
For a long time I didn't see a movie with so many good songs and so romantic. It is truly love at first sight. I just love it (and the continues too). If you are romantic and is looking for a hole family movie you won't regret to buy it and the others two HSM2 e HSM3. Enjoy it!DVD Review: Professionally done pablum
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie had to have something going for it to garner so many fans, and I believe it's this: the crisp, super-clean production values. And ya know, the dancing ain't bad. But is there a less believable "basketball star" than Zac Efron? Hey, I'm 58 years old and I could probably beat this guy one on one. The plot may have been simple, but given the target audience (6-10 year olds), it's appropriate that it lacks anything challenging, like irony. Real high school actors hate this movie, or love it because it's so bad. If you've actually seen a well-done high school musical, you understand why: while the villains here are faintly amusing, the less talented principals are strictly baby formula. Swallow it down, kids, and pay no attention to Zac and Vanessa as they laugh their way to the bank.DVD Review: Overrated
Summary: 3 Stars
It's everywhere. There are HSM notebooks, earrings, pens, posters, etc. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are on the cover of almost every single teen magazine. Yet this so called "teen" movie is not for teens at all.
While I will admit that some of the songs were decent, such as "Breaking Free," others were not so good. The plotline of the movie was what I hated the most. There was no development. I did not care about the characters. The dialogue was dumb and repetitive. The whole thing was more like an extra-long Disney Channel show episode, rather than a real movie. Don't forget the "sing-along" option on the DVD menu -- basically, any movie with a sing-along option is geared towards children. Therefore, with the simplistic plot and the bubblegum-pop songs, HSM is not a teen movie. It's a kids' movie.
Description of High School Musical (Encore Edition)
The all-new, smash hit Disney Channel Original Movie everyone is talking about is now available for the first time ever on DVD -- with never-before-seen bonus features that will rock your house! Troy (Zac Efron), the popular captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens), the brainy and beautiful member of the academic club, break all the rules of East High society when they secretly audition for the leads in the school's musical. As they reach for the stars and follow their dreams, everyone learns about acceptance, teamwork, and being yourself. And it's all set to fun tunes and very cool dance moves! Featuring the hottest talent, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL celebrates the power of music in this hip, entertaining, gotta-get-up-and-dance movie. Own all the excitement and the exclusive extras available only on this Encore Edition DVD.The Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical is a combination of backstage action and Grease without the unwholesome habits. Scoring record ratings at the time of its January 2006 broadcast, it's a smash hit with tween audiences (ages 6 to 10), but appealing for all ages. At a New Year's Eve party, Troy (Zac Efron of the WB's Summerland) has a chance meeting with Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) when they share a karaoke song. Lo and behold, when school resumes, they discover that Gabriella has just transferred to Troy's East High School, a campus divided into tight cliques of jocks, cheerleaders, brainiacs, and skater dudes. Eager to recapture the magic they'd discovered during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella consider auditioning for the school's upcoming musical, much to the dismay of the school's frost queen/theater goddess, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody). Problem is, Troy is also the star of the basketball team and Gabrielle is being recruited to compete in the Scholastic Decathlon. Will they give up their cliques to start something new, or will they do as the show's first big anthem urges and "Stick to the Status Quo"? Well, this is a Disney movie, so maybe the sacrifices won't be that hard, and even the hints of romance are mild.
The bestselling soundtrack is catchy in that Disney-pop kind of way, mixing in a dash of hip-hop ("Getcha Head in the Game," punctuated by squeaky basketball shoes and other sound effects), salsa ("Bop to the Top"), and the endearingly hammy ("What I've Been Looking For" performed by Sharpay and her brother, Ryan, played by Lucas Grabeel). It's not hard to imagine High School Musical becoming a semi-staple for high school groups to perform themselves. DVD bonus features include sing-along subtitles; a 9-minute featurette discussing casting, recording sessions, and rehearsals; a multi-angle look at a rehearsal of "Bop to the Top"; and music videos for "We're All in This Together" and a song that didn't make it into the final film, "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," performed by Efron, Hudgens, Tisdale, and Gabreel. --David Horiuchi
