June 23, 2011I have a soft spot for musicals and Zac Efron. Even if I didn't, this film would still be great. The songs were as catchy as ever and I loved all of the sequels.

It's light and fluffy fun that's largely harmless. In 20 years there's also going to be a lot of parents explaining to their children that yes, "Mommy and Daddy did dress like that." Full Review

Actually better than the first one... The songs are catchier, the comedy funnier, the attitudes sunnier. Full Review
