Scoring record ratings at the time of its January 2006 broadcast, it's a smash hit with tween audiences (ages 6 to 10), but appealing for all ages. At a New Year's Eve party, Troy (Zac Efron of the WB's Summerland) has a chance meeting with Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) when they share a karaoke song. Lo and behold, when school resumes, they discover that Gabriella has just transferred to Troy's East High School, a campus divided into tight cliques of jocks, cheerleaders, brainiacs, and skater dudes. Eager to recapture the magic they'd discovered during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella consider auditioning for the school's upcoming musical, much to the dismay of the school's frost queen/theater goddess, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody). Problem is, Troy is also the star of the basketball team and Gabrielle is being recruited to compete in the Scholastic Decathlon. Will they give up their cliques to start something new, or will they do as the show's first big anthem urges and "Stick to the Status Quo"? Well, this is a Disney movie, so maybe the sacrifices won't be that hard, and even the hints of romance are mild. The bestselling soundtrack is catchy in that Disney-pop kind of way, mixing in a dash of hip-hop ("Getcha Head in the Game," punctuated by squeaky basketball shoes and other sound effects), salsa ("Bop to the Top"), and the endearingly hammy ("What I've Been Looking For" performed by Sharpay and her brother, Ryan, played by Lucas Grabeel). It's not hard to imagine High School Musical becoming a semi-staple for high school groups to perform themselves. DVD bonus features include sing-along subtitles; a 9-minute featurette discussing casting, recording sessions, and rehearsals; a multi-angle look at a rehearsal of "Bop to the Top"; and music videos for "We're All in This Together" and a song that didn't make it into the final film, "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," performed by Efron, Hudgens, Tisdale, and Gabreel. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - There's nothing like A GOOD musical......and this is NOTHING LIKE a good musical. Adults should be warned to stay clear of this dreary exercise at ALL costs. This is time better spent with an insurance agent or doing your taxes. (Yes...It's THAT bad.) If you have tweens at home and they clamour for this abomination, be warned, it never ends. Long after the movie has finished there is the CD of the film's unmemorable soundtrack which can only lead to the sequels (2 of them at this writing.) and the ripoffs. (AMERICAN ...

I'm not writing a review on how tacky or unoriginal HSM is, but writing on something that's going through the minds of the a generation that grew up on the Disney classics and television series we cherished throughout our lifetime. Many of us worry that the Disney Channel is heading for serious trouble since it has now become focused on the tweens and teens of today instead of the entire family, and I am one of them. A tad bit bias toward ... Read More Rating: - Movie teaches the wrong things.I was watching the movie with my nieces and nephews. It seem sort of innocent, just some saccharin entertainment. But the end really shocked me. The smart kids used their skills to sabotage the game clock which allowed the "Wildcats" to win. I ask the kids, 7-11, what they thought about the cheating. Their response surprised me. Essentially they said "Whatever Troy and Gabriella did was ok because they are nice." Sort ... Read More Rating:  - The extras in the Remix version are worth paying moreHigh School Musical is one of the Disney productions you don't have high expectations for. How good can something made for cable be? But it surprises in a big way. This is a movie about teens trying to find their own identities while feeling the pressure to conform to their own social groups. There's clean romance, humor, and the songs are surprisingly good. It does what every good musical should do: make you tap your toes and want to join in the singing and dancing. And this is where ...
