High School Musical 2 (2007)

I liked this one a little bit better then the first movie. Once again, I did come up with some parts that I found out of sync.1. Why on earth did Troy slide on his stomach after the opening song? 2. Why did Troy look left first when Gabriella's locker was on the right? Wouldn't he know by now where her locker is? 3. How would the entire kitchen staff be students from East High? Did they not have any other workers before? 4. All these kids were complaining about how they couldn't get jobs and then they get a job at a country club. Talk about one of the best jobs you could ask for as a high schooler. Somehow they find a way to complain about it.5. In "You Are the Music in Me" Troy and Gabriella hardly ever look at the music and somehow know all the words. Also there are drums being played and there are background singers that don't exist.6. When talking to the U of A board members, one of them mentions Troy's game winning shot. Troy then tells him that wouldn't have happened if his teammates didn't steal the ball. The only problem is that Troy was the one who stole the ball.7. Troy gets promoted to a job that gives him $500 per week, which would equal out to $26,000 a year. There is no way he would get paid that for what he was doing, especially with no past experience.8. Chad apparently plays baseball, but handles the bat as if he doesn't know what baseball is.9. Troy explains that he's acting the way he is for the scholarship and Gabriella responds with pretty soon that's who you become. Oh yea, a high school junior is a real expert on life, right? 10. Troy asks Sharpay what was the first thing she said to him there and they say we're all in this together. She did say that to him, but it wasn't even close to the first thing said, that was more like "Hey boys, so Troy, I thought it was time for you to meet my parents".11. There is no way Troy could have learned "Every day" in its entirety in such a short time.12. Everyday is another song where there is a mysterious drummer hiding somewhere.13. The Evans' father is always telling Ryan to fix his hat, including after he wins the star dazzle award, but his hat is perfectly straight at that moment.14. If you got Miley Cyrus on your set, why only show her for 4 seconds? Yay, 4 less then the first movie! Good movie though.

Honestly, I think people just need to realize that this is a Disney movie, not an academy award movie or a movie in which the songs will bring a whole bunch of Grammy's. Just chill out and try to enjoy it for what it is; You might actually enjoy it.The storyline is that Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Taylor, and the rest of the Wildcats squad are about to enter into summer. They start to look for jobs, but while they are being busy about Lava Springs, Sharpay seems to have her eye on Troy, and like her nature, she will do anything to get what she wants, even if it means deserting her brother to do it. Troy becomes all caught up with her and his future, leaving Gabriella and his friends in the dark. It may be summer, but the drama is just getting HOTTER! Like I said before, I don't see the hate with this film. I think people just need to chill out and watch these movies for what they are. The acting won't be the greatest, and they are not the greatest singers in the world (though I admit, I like these guys a lot better than Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and a lot of other "singers" today), so maybe if we kept that in mind, we would enjoy it a lot more. And, as for the people who say that these films aren't realistic and that people just don't go breaking into song in real life: It's Disney. Of course it's not realistic.So, my conclusion to this review is this: Watch this if you know what you're getting myself into. I like musicals overall, so I kind of knew that this was going to be cheesy, but I didn't care. I had fun. That's what it's all about. If you go into it knowing what to expect and you still don't like it, fine. Just don't go bashing others who love this movie, and there are a lot of us. An 8/10 for me.

The High School Musical gang returns in a sequel but is this any good? The story is mediocre and it's improved from the first movie but its way more predictable and more cheesy than the first, which I didn't think was possible. The characters weren't done very well but we got to see a lot more of Taylor who is played by the beautiful Monique Coleman. There wasn't really much character development from any of the characters except for Ryan who was played by Lucas Grabeel who wants to have his time in the spotlight instead of his fame-obsessed sister Sharpay. The acting is yet again mediocre in this installment but it's a lot better this time round, Zac Efron actually did a better job playing as basketball star Troy and Vanessa Hudgens was, as usual, great as Gabriella. The songs are also a lot better and catchier than the first as well as the dance routines. The choreography and the dances were executed well and the songs were a lot better. There were a couple that were stuck in my head after watching the movie, one being 'What Time Is It?'. The big song that was supposed to be the best song in the movie was great but it was forgettable. Also the singing is a lot better too. High School Musical 2 is enjoyable and watchable.High School Musical, for me, was a decent movie but this was better but not by much. Yeah the story has improved and so have the characters and the songs but it still remains to be seriously cheesy which isn't really a bad thing since you expect it. I liked the songs and enjoyed the dances and the movie was decent, it's definitely stuck to its target audience. Even though it was a little bit better than the first, it still hasn't changed that much to make my score go higher than a six.Read more reviews at: www.dudedazzmoviereviews.wordpress.com
