    OK,first of all i can say i never watched the movies but what i did see was the music videos on Disney Cinemagic(UK Channel) when i was waiting for something like Goof Troop DuckTales or House of Mouse to come on/come back on and they were complete garbage seriously,this is one of the worst TV movies in history sorry but i am not a huge fan of musicals but that is not only the reason why i hate this pile of crap the other reason is because it's just exactly like Hannah Montana except it is'nt a TV show and it's a TV movie and all of them sing not just Hannah Montana(aka Miley Cyrus)and i've heard that the album of this crap was the best selling album in the USA along with HM(Hannah Montana) this is just my opinion i'm not even gonna bother saying cancel this heap of rubbish cause loads of people are gonna flame me for it anyway but this is just my opinion and i won't change it the singing is annoying. Basically,it's the teens who love these TV movies the teen girls same with Hannah Montana they love that as well and that is a TV show though not all teen girls love garbage(no offence i don't hate you fans but i hate the program)some teen girls actually hate this crap the teen girls of today seem to love these retarded shows(nothing to offend you but it's the truth i'm not calling you retarded)the review might get deleted because some hardcore fan might report this to the mod and the mod'll delete it this is my opinion but seriously there are much better shows which don't have garbage in it like Ren and Stimpy(I know many teen girls hate it because they think it's disgusting) and Family Guy which has better comedy than these teen shows (even though this is not a show i requested to delete it but i guess TV.com also does TV movies).moreless

    High School Musical is another one of those overrated things, next to Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. It was so boring. Now, I didn't see when it premiered, because it didn't look like it would be any good of a movie. When I saw commercials for it, I just thought, "It's a movie about kids acting and singing in a high school musical. What'll be so good about it?" Yeah, so I thought that it would just be another Disney Channel original movie that would air on the network, and then it'd air occasionally. But in no way did I ever think it'd be as popular as it is now. So after the weekend it aired it was almost all anyone (mostly girls) at my school talked about. In fact, someone even approached me in the hallway and asked, "Hey, do you know when High School Musical is gonna air again?" So after God knows how many encounters with some of my friends and a few of the girls at school saying that I have to see this movie, I did. But after watching, I literally said out loud, "What the heck was that? That is what everyone is in love with!" So when I told people that I didn't like the movie they were like, "Are you for real? That movie was great!" Whatever. So anyway, the thing is with this movie is that nothing happened. It was just about a bunch of teenagers in a high school who want to be a musical. Now, the main challenge in this movie is the guy who gets the lead role is too focused in his basketball game to think about staring in the play, so the rest of the players on his team try to make him not be in the musical. Can someone please tell me what is so good about that? Nothing. The songs were OK, but I have definitely heard much better songs than all of the ones featured in this film. However High School Musical continues its high reign on popularity. Now almost every show and every other kind of movie is trying to copy High School Musical by making their episodes or film have good music in it. On top of that, after this, they've decided to have 4 movies, and the fourth one is currently in production, which is weird considering the fact that they graduated in the third one. So if you haven't seen this movie yet please don't bother. You'll just be bored out of your mind. Grade: 10/100moreless

    It's a bad movie.What's the deal of a musical from a high school?It's a bad idea for a movie and it's one of the worst movies ever.I don't even like this movie,not even it's songs.The second one is way better than this one.I would say that it's a very bad movie and it is one of the ones I don't even like.Because of that,I gonna give this movie a bad grade.I gonna give this movie a D because it was a bad movie,but many people like it,but me.This film is really one of the worst Disney Channel original movies ever made.moreless

    This \"show\" isnt even good. Okay first of all, it isnt even a show, its called a MOVIE people!!! Second of all it was corny, and since when does tv.com score movies! The songs sucked just so totally sucked.

    All I\'m saying is, it could have been done a little better.
