High School Musical 3 (DVD)

Graduation is fast approaching and the East High students have to face to prospect of moving on with their lives; choosing colleges, organising proms and setting up year-books seems to be too much for the students! But when the prospect of performing their own end of school musical crops up as a way of celebrating their time at High School and performing together one last time they all jump at the chance. But as problems face the teenagers and the reality of moving away from each other hits home, they all must find who they are, and what that means in an ever changing world. If you haven't heard of High School Musical then you obviously don't have tweenagers ...  Read the complete review

The third and final instalment in this massive hit for Disney brings the brilliant cast back together again one last time. With a huge budget and guaranteed money to be made this was the only film of the 3 released into cinemas - the other 2 films premiered on the Disney Channel. Whilst this film is good and has some great songs and laughs in it, I am in the minority for thinking that it fell a little flat. I love the High School Musical brand and was really excited to see this latest instalment, but left the cinema feeling a little disappointed. So the premise is, it's the gangs final Year - Senior Year - at East High before they all leave for college in the ...  Read the complete review

I had seen High School Musical 1 and 2, and didn't think too much of them even when all of my friends seemed to be in love with the franchise. When the third instalment was released, I wasn't really too bothered about going to see it, but lots of my friends wanted to go and see it and there was so much buzz generated about it, I thought that I would see if it actually did live up to all the hype. I didn't expect too much from the film, basically expecting it to be cheesy and predictable with a few catchy songs, the one major advantage being Zac Efron though! So, what's happening? Its the gangs senior year, and everyone is leaving and choosing what ...  Read the complete review

Having watched and been a (reluctant) fan of the previous two High School Musical films, I was looking forward to this one, cheese and all! Taking cues and scenes from magical shows such as Grease, HSM3 takes up the story of a group of High School students as they prepare for their senior year, complete with college decisions and everything. Jock Troy Bolton and the love of his life, brainiac Gabriella Montes, are the school's sweethearts, with friends Chad, Kelsey and others equally as popular. Then there are the Evans' siblings, a family with money, and I suppose talent, but a large amount of theatrics and ego to boot. All in all, the characters work ...  Read the complete review

I'd not seen High School Musical, nor had I seen High School Musical 2, so there was no surprise that I hadn't made any plans to see High School Musical 3. Though when a friend offered to pay me in, I decided it would be worthwhile going to see; after all, I would never turn down a free cinema ticket! Although it may have been a good idea to find something, even a little, about the first two films before I went in, I decided to not bother. Though for those of you who are in the same situation as me, and feel they wish to know about the other two, here is a brief summary of what I discovered purely from the internet; Troy and Gabriella meet at High school ...  Read the complete review
