High School Musical 2
 

The first one was really good. Great songs too! I heard they'll be at tv guide(aug.13th issue)that has a cd-rom that features behind the scenes, pics, and some interviews. I just hope they keep the quality and originality they had with the first movie. Anyone here into this movie too??

My 4 year old daughter is quite into it.

Some friends were visiting with their 4 yo daughter, and she was watching this on TV, and I think this plays in a continous loop in one of the rooms in the "special hell" that Book referred to on Firefly.

Just waiting for the other closet HSM fans to come out before I admit how I feel about it....

Love the film, somehow it brings out the kid side in me... I even signed up for some HSM 2 online contest here, www.tvguide.com/hsm2 , crazy me!,lol!

Our whole family is excited for the second movie.

Feel better now clemente? ;)

I liked the first one, too, though I thought the middle was a little too song-less.

My 6 year old loves it, going to see High School Musical on Ice on October 30th as well.

I tried to watch the original just to see what the hype was about. I only made it about 20 minutes in. For the first time in my life I felt *completely* out of touch because I did not get this at all. Honestly it just seemed like every other cheesy Disney kid/teen show, except even cornier.

Though I will admit that in a way I'm happy there are young people embracing something this innocuous and almost old-fashionedly clean cut, instead of party girls and thugs.

I'll watch anything with Zach!
I enjoyed the music and dancing even though it was mindless fluff aimed at a young audience.

It's a nice, wholesome Disney movie, reminds me too of the classic movie Grease.

Kinda waitin for tv guide's special HSM2 issue, I think it's coming out probably as early as Aug 9. It's a good issue, kids may love it too!

*raising hand*
I really liked the first one as well and can't wait for the sequel. :-)

I also watch Hannah Montana so... LOL

Alright, maybe its just me, but some of the Disney Channel original series have a very classic TGIF feel to them. Not great sitcoms in the vein of Cheers and Seinfeld....just some Family Matter and Perfect Strangers quality to kill 30 minutes.

Can't wait either...Aug. 17th is the date. Love Hannah Montana too I keep seeing the advert for her album.

Who's going to get the special HSM 2 cd-rom aside from me? :)

LOL Ihave both Hannah Montana CD's. Strictly bubble-gum pop so it is great background music. First cd has way too many "I am two people" songs but it is still fun. The other day at work I was alternating her two CD's with Garbage. My coworkers thought I was on crack. lol

I agree clemente. Not great but very funny tgif type material. :-)

Finally! I already got my tv guide, ok here's exactly what the HSM 2 cd-rom contains:

-Behind the Scenes footage with Troy, Gabriella and the rest of the gang from
East High
-Check out great interviews of all your favorite HS Musical stars
-Funny outtakes / clips
-Exclusive photo / gallery
-Take a tour of the set
-Learn moves from the movie with a dance class taught my the HS Musical
choreographer
-Win props from the movie by entering the High School Musical Sweepstakes

One hour until show time...

... and my kids and wife are besides themselves with anticipation!

They've been listening to the soundtrack non stop since Tuesday.

I can't find it anywhere on my tivo schedule. Is it under High School?

I caught a clip on The Soup from showing the "baseball game song".

The aforementioned special room? They added on.

Maybe you should rewatch Grease if you think it's comparable to a nice, wholesome Disney movie

I don't remember a Disney movie with pregnancy scares and cars described as pussy wagons that makes chicks cream, while getting you lots of tit

:lol:

Videofan, tell me more about this cd-rom, you seem unaffiliated with TV Guide and Disney.

BTW, I hope HSM2 as wholesome as Grease and Sweeney Todd.

-eek- -eek-
I can see why the target audience likes these movies, but, damn, the songs were so overproduced that it must be like porn for fans of Pro Tools.

I'm surprised that Disney didn't decide to premiere High School Musical 2 on ABC instead of on the Disney Channel. That could have resulted in ratings more akin to Fox's American Idol. -eek-

Sing-A-Long Edition is on Sunday night.

Pass it on...

I was thinking the same thing. If they didn't want to alienate the Disney Channel, they could have at least simulcast it with cast interviews in the commercial breaks being exclusive to the Disney Channel or something.

FWIW, I guess I understand the "tweener" appeal of these movies, but wow, are they bad. Rolling Stone's interview with the star of these movies made him seem somewhat dubious of the whole "High School Musical" fame he's acquired, but he needs to realize that he needs to milk this for all he can because once this dries up, he doesn't really have an ounce of acting talent on which to rely. Some of the cast seems talented enough as singer/dancers, but none of them seem like they can act their way out of a paper bag.
