Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
LBritt-944-4668 I bought this for our 9 year old daughter for Christmas. I wanted a movie that she would LOVE but that would encourage her spiritual walk as well. This was IT. We went on a vacation shortly after Christmas, and I think she watched it about 10 times! She would have watched it more if I would have let her. She can sing all the songs, has a positive attitude after watching it ... and I don't have to feel bad about selling out when HSM is so popular amongst this age group. It looked like it was fairly well put together. Besides, the target audience is pre-teens and teens I would assume ... who are not really movie experts anyway. They just want a fun movie. I highly recommend it.
annevejb The DVD cover said High School Musical inspired, blatantly so. I accept that HSM can be inspiration, for me anyhow. The price was relatively low. Play the DVD, I found there to be highs and lows. Low budget films can be okay, but one often has to be able to shrug off flaws in order to experience them as okay. So, most big budget stuff has flaws, too, and these also need to be within limits that the individual can tolerate. This is a musical and the soundtrack construction is where I most notice signs of lack of expertise. When the songs come along the record volume often seems to have been turned up. With my volume control set at a bit lower volume than usual then I can tolerate things. The next flaw is the credibility of the storyline, this is nowhere near the only story that has difficulties with that so one does gradually pick up expertise in being able to get by. One has a limited choice if one hopes for a credible plot? The nice aspect of that, for me, is that it helps HSM to feel more believable. They really do after watching this. So, a low cost DVD inspired in part by HSM and with care I can tolerate the main flaws. Except that this is a Sunday school story. The plot centres around church activities. As an émigré from the churches I find this to be the difficult part. The best songs are very churchy. These days, for me that does get in the way. * Move away from religion, I found it way too easy to need to consider standard stories as text for a secular religion. There were maybe even beliefs in the sixties that centred on that. Paradox. I found that got in the way, how I approached things, but it also seemed like an essential idea. Around 2009, when two missionaries from Utah called at my house I mentioned that I no longer looked to religion, but that I did consider the Salt Lake City manufactured HSM to be Utah religious texts that I could accept. I got the impression that the missionaries considered me to be misunderstanding secular religion. Sunday School Musical (2008) does help me with this. It is clearly religious stuff and considers what used to be understood as basic religious topics. These also relate to the day to day world. Watch HSM soon after and I can now accept them just as rather neat stories. I do not need them to be anything but sugar. The sugar of the frocks, the sugar of the best of Sharpay, whatever. HSM is inspirational if one can accept them as sugar? I should have told the missionaries that Utah professionals have made some very respectable sugar?
mccoy12 I was curious to see how this film would compare to the High School Musical films. In comparison, it's a very clean film. However, the acting isn't superb but that comes with lower budgeted films. The lead vocal is really great! The main character, Zachary, would do well with a singing contract. The dancing was fun. Some of the songs are catchy. Some scenes are a little strange, like when they keep showing them on the rooftop. That was probably unnecessary. And the scene where the nerd guy and Savannah are singing about being boss was a little weird. I think they could have found a better vocal for the part of Savannah. In a nutshell, it's not a bad film. It's worth a viewing. And it's something even little kids could watch.
Remi When I got this movie I thought OK let's watch it. But after the first 10 or 20 minutes I fell a sleep. The storyline was not great. It was all so predictable. The main character has 2 move 2 another school makes new friends. I watched it as far as that. Normally I like this kind of movie but this one is boring. It's a little bit boring if you ask me. But that's what I say. If you are a HSM fan. If you want 2 watch this movie don't compare it 2 HSM cuz is very different then HSM. But mine opinion is that the movie is not good enough for my DVD collection. Cuz the storyline is not good, the acting is bad. So if you want watch this then set your mind on 0 and watch is. Oh yeah BTW did u seen the cover? It's almost the same as HSM en de title on the cover 2. Maybe a ripoff?
