REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 12-Jul-2006)

"High School Musical" is very cute and moves fast from one scene to the next. Typical of Kenny Ortega, the choreography is energetic and clean, and the production numbers are well-filmed. The lip-syncing of the solo vocals is poorly done, and many of the plot elements require us to suspend reality for a bit. It also appears that the creators have not spent any time on a public high school campus recently. But the film works and I found myself with a smile on my face. The squeaky-clean cast of attractive young performers showcases a great deal of talent and energy.
