High School Musical

Remember the movie which inspired Glee, a million boys haircuts and made the world realise they had missed musicals for too long but you are embarrassed to admit you guiltily enjoyed?  Yeah, that would be Disney's High School Musical. 

A very young Zac Efron sings, b-balls and dances his little heart out to impress his mathletic crush in a classic opposites attract (and no one approves!) love story.  However its Ashley Tisdale as the dastardly Sharpay who really steals the show in my opinion and the songs will be stuck in your head for weeks.

Rating:  While I can embrace over the top cheesy musicals, the kid was not so impressed.  "The problem is that it has too many songs in it".  Well, it is called High School Musical.  And it's a chick flick to boot.  We give this a once in a while viewing rating but should your kid get swept up into the drama, you may find yourself watching much more often.

Naughty bits:  This film is as clean as Sharpay's fabulous outfit; that is until clumsy Gabriella tips her lunch on it.

Snacks:  Something school cafeteria worthy - like pizza!

Family In-quotes: "Hip hop is my passion. I love to pop, and lock, and jam, and break"
