High School Musical (Encore Edition, DVD) ... Reed, Monique Coleman, Vanessa-Anne Hudgens, Olesya Rulin ... / DVD released 04 December, 2006 at Walt Disney Pictures / Features of the DVD: Full Screen, PAL / The Disney Channel's High School Musical is a combination of backstage action and Grease without the unwholesome habits. 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) 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). 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 Gabreel). 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

I do like to watch a cheesy film every so often and this week the one I decided to view was High School Music. I had heard about the film for a while and know that a song from the film was released as a single over here but I just dismissed it as being a cheesy Disney film. Being quite young it is a really cheesy film but it’s one of those kinds you can watch on a lazy afternoon and it will make no change to your life but it is happy and easy to watch with no mind work being done. The film was released in 2006 and there is a High School Musical 2 and I’m sure now there’s even a third film in production. Having only seen the first I’m not sure how a third will be but ...  Read the complete review

Surprise surprise despite a shy start they are both great singers and start to enjoy themselves. The evening ends and they part but are soon reunited when Gabriella starts at Troy's school East High. Gabriella is keen to audition for the schools musical and wants Troy to join to as she knows they make a great partnership.

Personally I think this is the best film that has been released in a long time. I'm not much of a fan of musicals but this was brought for me by my boyfriend so thought I'd best watch it, so since 25th December 2006 I have watched this film god knows how many times and know the film word for word song for song. Sad I know but it is a well good film. THE PLOT Troy and Gabriella (main characters) are both on holiday at a ski resort. Your given a short introduction to these two characters at the beginning, you find out Troy loves Basketball and Gabriella loves books. Anyway they end up singing at karaoke together and that's when the magic ...  Read the complete review

This is the film of the year which had had so much hype its untrue, having two cousins who sing and words to the whole thing. What is even worse this film is everywhere you turn. Disney is laughing all the way to the bank with the film the merchandising and to top it all a second film. Troy (Zac Efron), the popular captain of the basketball team and Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens), the brainy and beautiful member of the academic club, break all the rules of when they secretly audition for the leads in the school's musical. As they reach for the stars and follow their dreams, everyone learns about acceptance, teamwork and being yourself. I ...  Read the complete review
