I dont get it. When I was in High School (which was a while ago),
I couldnt stand the so called "gifted" kids. They got to miss class for practice and most of the time the musicals stunk.
I always hated Talent Shows too, so Im not an American Idol fan either.

I'll explain it the way it was explained to me by my wife: The movie and music (which in fareness, is performed as well as it can be)are manufactured garbage. The main guy, however, is hot. Therefore, the movie is a success due to the massive amounts of money teenieboppers throw at it. |

It's "Grease" for a modern generation. I think that's the best way to describe it. Except it lacks any of the awesome that "Grease" actually had.

Except the massive amounts of money are probably being thrown, under duress, by the parents of said teenyboppers.  |

Well, essentially what they did was combine the idea of high school with the idea of a musical, then they added a whole bunch of gayness to it and.....voila!

Well, basically, a bunch of American high school students are chosen to forcibly fight against one another until one student per class remains alive. They are given survival packs and eventually rebel and defeat their oppressors through the medium of a broadway style large cast song-and-dance number...
.. granted, It's been a while since I saw it, but I think thats what happens.

Several attractive teenagers dance in highly choreographed musical numbers, and also drama or something.

I'll explain it to you. Disney created a movie geared towards adolescents and younger children, not towards you. It was a smash hit with their target audience, even though you didn't like it. I'm sure the Disney execs aren't crying because you hated it.  |

I honestly don't care, because there's this wonderful invention I call the "remote control" with which I can use the "change the channel".
I will say, because of these films, I'm kind of sick of having every magazine on the impulse racks by my register show Zac Efron on the cover. C'est la vie.

It's a movie where a bunch of people with multiple talents put on a show to entertain people. Basically the main character Troy (Effron) is caught between singing in the school musical with possible love interest Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), or play basketball. The movie is based around cliques and peer pressure, with the rest of the school telling them to stay in their respective cliques and not shake things up. Troy's a jock and Gabriella's a smart kid--so getting into drama is something different and unheard of.
In short, it's a musical about high schoolers performing in a high school musical. Cool movie.

Sounds like what the American remake of Battle Royale would pan out to be. |
