It's not as good as Grease or Grease 2 but you have to hand it to the new generation of musicals. These young musicians are great at singing dancing, and even acting. High School Musical (all 3 movies) is a great flick for children of all ages as well as adults.
I do have to admit the high school love story gets a little old and corny in each movie. It's frustrating to have the same characters in the similar situation. Make it very predictable.
I would still recommend this movie to anyone I know. I also own the first and second movie and waiting for the thrid to come on DVD.
