High School Musical (2006 TV Movie)
1/10
This is probably what evangelists want their kids to watch

Aaargh, cover me in honey and set me on fire, this movie was bad. Yes, I know it is a huge phenomenon among the teeny tiny boppers but that doesn't make it any better. This all takes place in a high school where all personality has been scrubbed from the students and all thoughts of sex, drugs and rock and roll amazingly erased from the least horny and interesting teenagers you'll ever meet. Troy and Gabriella meet during vacation and are surprised when they run into each other at school (Gabriella's mother got transferred). Unfortunately, they run in different cliques, he plays basketball, she's a math genius. (Think Grease done by the Disney Channel, which is exactly what this is!) Against type, they decide to audition for the school play, where they pose a threat to the brother and sister duo who has ruled drama for years. There are tons of continuity issues, with people and props disappearing between shots. Well, you know what happens, this is Disney, so everyone learns to get along as the movie closes with yet another mind-numbing song and dance routine.

This movie is like diet pop to which someone has added about 5 more packets of artificial sweetener. Already sweet to begin with, it becomes a fake-sugary gooey mess. So much sugar that it doesn't quench your thirst, and then comes the horrible aftertaste, to last for hours, and you'll probably get cancer from it as well. 1/10
