What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Another great HSM film. I remember this as the best one. And honestly, i still think it is the best one. The songs are again, amazing. The story is again, quite good. Other than the soundtrack, this film improves on everything the orginal film did and im fine with that, since i love watching all 3 movies. Also the credits are a blooper reel. So that is awesome.

This is the second season of High School musical series. Summer vacation is big theme in the movie. In this season, all attractive characters sing, dance and be in love. Summer is the best season for their, I think. I think that songs and dances of this season are the best than all High School Musical series. I had danced to What Time Is It in sports day when I was a junior high school student. So, especially, I like this song in the movie. In this season, there are many gloom scenes, but I think that this season need for High School Musical series. With those quarrels or conflicts make the characters grow, I think. It is essential part.

The first High School Musical film's popularity caught everyone out, so you can't blame Disney for quickly capitalising and making this sequel before the bubble burst and the cast grew up.Is this film better than the first? For many fans yes, but for me as just a casual viewer no. It almost seems as the writer is creating problems for Troy and Gabriella just for the sake of it.There are some nice moments, and Ortega again manages to create a happy clappy vibe, but underneath all the sunshine and sequins I find this to be the weakest of the three.However, it is a fun hour and a bits entertainment, and for fans of the series that is all that matters.

Dana Scott Professor Iles Humanities 246 Film Review on IBMD High School Musical TwoHigh School Musical. While most males run away from the word musical, most females get excited and attached to the relation of high school and the cute buy who happens to be the basketball star. High school Musical Two has more than just songs sung by students, it has a story line to follow that can really teach kids a lesson about life. The second film is about the summer life of high school students just before their senior year of high school. Getting jobs, spending money on clothes and saving money for college, the wildcats finally get their head in reality as they all get summer jobs at this rich club. The idea is to learn the lessons of life before college, find out who you are and just have fun before the real world begins, getting ready for college. Sharpe, the "top singer" for the musical, and her brother Ryan, have parents that own this club. Sharpe only wants the basketball star, Troy to work at this club so Sharpe can try and be his girlfriend. What turns to surprise is that Troy current girlfriend, Gabrielle, along with all of their friends, show up on the first day at work as well. Sharpe, being angry, throughout the whole film, tries to sabotage the relationship between Gabby and Troy and get the rest of the crew to quit so she can date Troy and win the club's talent show at the end of the year. The theme for this movie is based on complexity of a human relationships, the key idea- friendship. In this movie, the viewer can easily see that friendship that the students have with the other students. One can clearly point out who are the friends and the foe's The idea of the film is based on friendship, who overcomes the drama when rumors are spread and lies are spoken and who has each other's back for when it comes to the important stuff in life. Two plots that show friendship is Troy, who has been asked to play basketball allot with some college players vs his friends, and when Troy has to choose between his job (which is not giving him enough time with his friends) and choosing more chances to hang out with Gabby and his friends. The first technique, and is used quite allot in this movie, is motif. There are several scenes in the movie that have the same idea, an example would be that Sharpe is constantly trying to get Troy to choose the amazing chances he has, like a better job offer and playing basketball with college students. Throughout the movie, Sharpe is trying to create new ideas to make Troy hang out with her or do something different rather than playing and hanging out with his 'real' friends. The second technique that was used to show this theme, is based on camera angle. Throughout the whole movie, there are several short shots that has the camera shot towards Troy playing basketball, then back to his basketball friends watching him play as everyone else works their job. One movie that has the same theme idea is the first and third movie of High School Musical. Each movie of the trilogy is based on friendship, figuring out who is important, and accepting each other for who they are. In the first movie, Troy wants his friends to accept that he wants to be in a musical and the third movie, the gang tries to stay friends, knowing that senior year is to a close and even though they will be separated for the first time in years, they will still stay true friends until the end. The idea of figuring out who you are is based upon the friends that you hang out with. Choosing your friends can show your character in several ways. Friendships are very important in life because true friends support you no matter what choices you make or hobbies you like, as well as they are to be understanding for the mistakes you make. This movie shows that friendship is very valuable and important in life as you grow.
