High School Musical has never been known as 'dirty'. In fact, it has always been known as the cleanest famous movie ever. It's innocent, and has messages about friendship. The only concern is the obvious tie-in to the High School Musical franchise, which, unsurprisingly, has everything with an HSM tag on it. Overall, young girls will enjoy third dose.

What’s the Story?
There's a plot twist in the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR SOUNDTRACK, as the wholesome, talented East High crew faces graduation and the scary future beyond. Even though they're as predictable and squeaky-clean as ever, the HSM 3 songs do deal with some real-life hard stuff, like facing separation from a sweetheart and uncertainty about what the future may hold.
Is It Any Good?
With Disney's usual high production standards and through-the-roof energy level, the cast delivers another dozen flawlessly performed songs in a variety of styles. A basketball championship game, a prom, and (go figure) a high school musical provide enough material to drive the plot, and the bits of over-the-top schlock even seem appropriate, not unlike the messages people write in each others' yearbooks.
Particular highlights include Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale's excellent performances and the song "A Night to Remember," which is a delightful peek at the frantic excitement of preparing for the prom.
