If the kids enjoyed High School Musical, they will probably enjoy HSM 2 just as much. There are a couple of really good songs in this movie (Fabulous is a fun one, Sharpay is a great characture of a spoiled brat), and the story is easy to follow. It's a little too packaged for most adults, but the exaggerated character traits of the main charaters makes this easy for younger kids to follow and enjoy. I would not pop it into the DVD player for date night, but for family movie night it's perfect!
The Wildcats are back. They start off getting out of school, where Shar Pay makes sure Troy has job at her country club. Troy then in returns gets everyone else a job at the country club too. Gabrielle is the new lifeguard, while Troy, Chad, and the others work in the kitchen. At the country club there is a talent show, which Sharpay and Ryan win every year. Kelsie had written a song for Troy and Gabrielle to sing at the talent show, which later on Sharpay takes (at a faster tempo) for her and Troy to sing at the talent show. Sharpay plots to take Troy away from Gabrielle,by getting him a better job than the rest of the Wildcats. Troy starts changing, all for a "scholarship", starting to act like a jerk, which results in Gabrielle breaking up with Troy, saying she doesn't belong there. After Troy loses all his friends, because he began acting like a jerk and had found out that Sharpay had made it where no Junior Staffers can perform in the talent show, he decides to do something about it, and asks for his old job back with the rest of his friends and quits the talent show leaving Sharpay with nothing, since she had ditched her brother to perform with Troy. She then goes back to Ryan, who had been working with the Junior Staffers on an act, who then leaves her saying she always wanted the spotlight, now she has it. Troy ends up doing the talent show, thinking that he would be performing with Sharpay. He learns a new song within a matter of minutes.Read full review
This musical was great. The cheoreography, the singing, the dancing. These young actors worked hard to make a great show! I bought this particualr DVD because I study musical theatre and the more musicals I can get my hands on, the better. The first one was just as good, so I knew I'd enjoy and learn from the 2nd one. Oh,wait I thought I wrapped this for my daughter on christmas. Hehe..we actually both loved it either way. I recommend this DVD to any who can appreciate musicals!
It was very protected and I loved the bubble wrap, only complaint was that it had a few scratches but that was fine! Great present for a high school musical lover... (my friend)
