Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about cliques and peer pressure, as well as stereotypes. Why is it considered surprising that a jock would want to be in the school play? Families can also talk about the importance of trying something new -- parents might encourage kids to take up a sport or activity that they've always wanted to try.

    I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 1.0

    Total Crap.

    Don't watch the movie, or read the novel. The characeters are unrealistic. I especially hated Gabriella, a stupid, shallow, sucker. If you watch the movie you'll probly regret it. The music is fun, if not a bit cheesy. The whole thing sends bad messages and deals with romance, high school snots and cliques and is defanatly a NO for under 13's.

    TERRIBLE MOVIE, SOUNDTRACK, EVERYTHING..........

    High School Musical is the WORST movie ever made. The music from it is the WORST ever made. Everybody want's to be in it because they THINK that it is a musical BUT IT'S NOT!!!!! It is a waste of time to listen/watch/do anything related to this movie/CD. And seeing what the stars of this movie are doing now (such as, oh I don't know, how about SENDING A PHOTOGRAPH OF HERSSELF NUDE TO A GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!) I would never let ANYBODY have ANYTHING to do with it. In order to listen to the music, watch the movie, or do anything related to High School Musical, I believe that you would have to be dead, and even then, you would probably jump out of your grave and start shouting at people to turn it off!
