12+ Great Learning Experience
i personally think this movie was GREAT!! I mean ya the dances and singing int the middle of class it the musical part of the movie. I think that it really does give you a glimpse of High School Your going to have jealous girls and a lil bit of heart break but thats just life for you.. I think if anyuthing watching these videos should really help teens cause it teaches you that no matter what friends are forever and if you truely love someone and its meant to be they will be back!

No concerns
Though this movie is unrealistic 2 a real high school it is a creative idea and it has done great over the years it's been out. It shows a unique twist to the disney culture and keeps children of young ages sucked in from the beginning to the finish. It personally wasn't my favorite thing to watch but, with that being said I did enjoy seeing all the talent that was projected from the characters. This movie was just ok for me but, it has a great presentation of entertainment involved. Not my fave, but if you like shows about unrealistic teen situations it'll be perfect for those of the younger generation. Good job. It did ok.

One of My Faves
I think this is a good book. I like that the characters are great role models for children and the story all and all gives a positive message.

NO NO NO NO NO
All 3 of these movies are really bad for kids under 15!! I only let my 15 & 17 year olds watch it once. I was thinking about letting my 13 year old watch it but I decided no there's too much flirting and kissing and dating--ICK!! So no no no no no no no no no.....

Another load of teenage garbage
My 8 year old cousin watches this over and over again. Now she idolizes Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Teesedale and puts being pretty above all else. The appeal of glamour, unatainable good looks and attitude infused dialogue overrides any "positive messages" in the film. Gabriella - very pretty girl, very high pitched voice, but not very much else. Sharpay - it's okay to be a b!tch as long as you're glamorous and talk the talk! The strongest message kids will get from this movie is that GOOD LOOKS = HAPPINESS

Can't stand it...
*Fans of these movies are warned, Do not read* Well, the songs used in it just plain S***ed, and the dancing... It was way too much! The plot was extremely weak too, I just found one of these songs kind of catchy. But that's not enough to give it a higher rating. 1/5!

HSM ROCKS!
This movie was the bomb! My husband Jeffery brought this home to watch after we got home from my daughter's pageant! The songs are really catchy- I might even choreograph a talent routine to one for the girls' next pageant. Also, Zac Efron is adorable! The only bad part was the catty Sharpay who constantly puts down the other characters and tries to discourage them from following their dreams. Other than that SUPER GOOD!
