Ratings and reviews

Troy Bolton makes a sympathetic and relatable hero throughout, so much so that you can ignore the fact that Gabriella is a massive Mary Sue-- albeit with gorgeous hair. There are cliche's everywhere which are pulled off in a non-believable, but amusing way. A nice, light-hearted, if sometimes implausible, plot that does contain decent lessons and still makes you smile. One for a nice afternoon.

I bloody love high school musical so much and I really want to get high school musical 2 because the songs are everyday , gotta go my own way and much more and I have the high school musical 1 and 3 and they are so good so far

I think that I have watched this movie before on TV a few times but I have forgotten what was my favourite part. Plus I know nearly all the songs and nearly all the words. Also I love Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale because they are such great singers and actors.
