High School Musical 3 Review

Since I loved HSM but didn't care for HSM2, I was not in a hurry to see High School Musical 3.  We waited a couple weeks to go and see it and I am glad to say it far exceeded my expectations.  My kids and I all loved it.  My 4 year old was dancing in the aisle and singing along.  My 9 year old loved the basketball scenes.  It really hit all the emotional aspects of a real senior year and let the audience say goodbye to their favorite characters.  I even teared up at a couple points.  My only complaint was (spoiler alert) that Vanessa didn't come back for the prom, but no worries, she performs in the school musical prom scene.  The songs and dances were phenomenol and the movie stayed true to its wholesome-ness.  Pure fun for the HSM fan - as good as the first movie.  Can't wait for the DVD!
