For those who live in a cave, "High School Musical 2" aired this past Friday on Disney Channel. I along with 17 million other viewers tuned in to set a viewership record, making the movie's debut the most-watched basic cable telecast of all time. Can you believe that? FYI: "High School Musical," one of 10 original movies set to air on the Disney Channel in 2006, was seen by 200 million viewers in 100 countries.
My take on it: It was not as good as the first (most sequels aren't), but I really enjoyed it. The storyline was predictable and a couple of the songs were lame. The great choreography and close-ups on Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) made up for the not-so-good stuff. I especially liked that Gabriella was always dressed modestly in the movie and stayed cool, calm & collected even though Sharpay was trying to steal her man. I also liked the fact that Ryan was "macho-ed up" with the baseball scene - he really needed that before he was cast for Will & Grace. They could have left out the big plunge in the pool at the end though - sort of cheesey.
So overall, I give it a 4 out of 5 thumbs up. Rumors have it that HSM3 will be in the theaters and HSM4 is already in the works. Can't wait!
