High School Musical 2
Anyone watch it tonight? Thoughts? Sadly, I'm a Disney nerd and I DVR'd it tonight and will watch sometime this weekend for a write-up on Monday.

I soooo meant to watch it last night so I could rub it into my kids (who get back from band camp and Florida today) that I saw it first. I forgot. Oops.

I watched it. Don't build your hopes up too high.

Daughter Number Two was over for a while last night and we stumbled on it.
After about five minutes, we gave up.

I wasn't a fan of the beginning, but after it got started I like it... definitely for a sequel anyway. And this IS Disney, cheesy is what they do. And interestingly enough:
High School Musical 2’s TV debut was
- The most-watched basic cable television program of all time.
- The most-watched basic cable movie of all time.
- The highest-rated television program ever for children age 6 to 11.
- The most-viewed Friday television telecast, cable or broadcast, in the past five years.

The first one was obviously much better. The songs in the second movie weren't as catchy and fun as the first, but it was cute.
The character of Sharpay is annoying and two hours of her was too much, but I did like that they showed more of Ryan.

I was all set to watch it with my 12 year old, as I had promised in a weak moment, when her best friend showed up, relieving me of doing so. Thank Heavens! (although that Zac Efron is pretty cute in a could-be-my-son sort of way)

LOL. My kids watched the first one for the first time yesterday. (We recorded HSM2 for them to watch this week.) My 6-year-old daughter loved it, but my 9-year-old son's assessment of HSM1 was "kinda cheesy, but okay, I guess."
My wife and I just think all of the songs sound alike.

My sister told me that "High School Musical 3" will be in theaters.

I'll admit it - I watched it (two and a half of the airings  )
I find the songs this time to be a little more catchy (although I will agree with cheesy!) and enjoyed the movie too 
And smiley, I heard the same thing about HSM3.

I watched about 1 minute of it.. I flipped to it in the middle of some song. I had heard of "High School Musical," yet never seen it. I know what I'm working with is anything but a representative sample, but it was less than impressive. I'll usually go out for musicals, cirque de soleil, that sort of thing... But this just didn't do it for me.

I feel the same way. No doubt the fact that we are some decades removed from the target audience has something to do with it.
My wife and I went to see Hairspray Saturday night -- the contrast between that (a really good musical) and HSM was quite noticeable.
That said, I will say that it's nice to have something G-rated that the whole family can watch together.

LOL - yes, Zac Efron would be allowed to date a child of mine!
I just didn't think the songs were anywhere as good as HSM 1, except the main duet. HSM 1 had "R skits" written all over it; not so much for this outing.

Please don't tell me you sang along with the songs during Sing A Long night! 
Even though I still firmly believe that whoever makes any mention of High School Musical should be shot...even my house wasn't spared this weekend. My nieces and nephews (who come over almost every weekend) were glued to the TV. Apparently Ashley Tisdale's BF IRL is a background dancer on HSM and he's a local kid, but I couldn't figure out which one he was. (TMZ spotted them in town two weeks ago for her 22nd birthday)
Who the eff names their kid Sharpay? Here's my daughter...the one with the name that sounds like the dog!
S-I-L and I are both convinced that Zac Efron will come out of the closet 6 years from now and pull a Lance Bass. 
I wonder if this is what the older generations used to say about my generation when we were obsessed with Kids, Inc. and MMC?
