High School Musical: -489574398579348768934768/10
I usually avoid the Disney channel like I avoid salmonella, but my sister had it on and I'd heard so much about High School Musical that I decided to watch it. Dear *God* was it awful! The script was written by a gaggle of 45-year-old men who have no recollection of what high school was really like. The songs were like a paint-by-numbers version of music, and don't get me started on the lyrics! It's as if they copied and pasted a bunch of smarmy, patronizing rhymes from various crappy songs and melded them together to form a Ballad of Doom. The acting was just as bad as you'd expect from a made for TV Disney movie starring teenagers who look like they've received Botox injections. None of the actors seemed even remotely enthused. I think by now, after having worked at Disney for so long, they've just learned to go through the motions.
I know loads of people love this movie, but I can't for the life of me even begin to comprehend why. And I
like musicals. I tried to enjoy it. I really did. This was just so godawful that I couldn't even wrap my brain around it.
I swear everyone in that film is made out of plastic.
Even their voices sound like they're made out of plastic. How can a voice be plastic??
