October 25, 2008Just like one and two a fun time for my daughter. She loved it and was dancing in front of her seat during the show.

April 2, 2012It's senior year and the students have to make choices about college and love. Cheesy and innocent fun.

October 18, 2011My three life goals: 1. To read every book written by Stephen King. 2. To watch every episode of THE SIMPSONS ever made. 3. To get the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL saga to stop growing on me like a mole on my tucchis. I might even need plastic surgery for that!
First theatrically rele... read more -
September 11, 2011Actually a good movie, much better than the first 2. This movie was fun, some better music and a nice story. The acting has never been good in this movie, so their record stays the same there. For once, a High School Musical I can enjoy.

November 8, 2010What is so endearing about the High School Musical trilogy is how it's message of defining yourself as who you want, having important, honest friendships and relationships and accepting others for who they are is something all kids should learn and it's portrayed here in an upbea... read more

August 4, 2010The concluding chapter in the popular tween-friendly series known as "High School Musical" is sure to entertain audiences outside the tween zone.
It's offers catchy fizz-pumping songs, choreography that'll have you saying, "Wow, good choreography.", and good teen melodrama.

July 15, 2010Finally, I'm done. The same story with different songs - "different" is arguable. Sharpay and Ryan are much too cozy to be siblings. Vanessa Hudgens is a better ballroom dancer than singer. I can't believe she's playing Mimi in LA.

Its winning formula is driven not by narrative but by what isn't there: no sex, no drugs, and no rock and roll-- unless you count the logjam of thundering power ballads. Full Review

Musical 3 is frustratingly shallow, but what it lacks in narrative ambition, it makes up for in dazzling choreography. Full Review

It's a classic case of giving the people what they want. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Efron is once again Travolta-esque, although he appears to be quickly outgrowing this material. Hudgens is still annoyingly bland both in facial expressions and voice. Full Review

Since when shouldn't it be fun to spend 90 minutes or so watching good-looking young people, singing and dancing relatively well? Full Review

If you aren't between the ages of six and 14 or don't have kids, you may have trouble getting into that Wildcat spirit. But don't be shocked if Senior Year takes you back, just a bit, and makes you wi... Full Review

The movie sounds as though it was recorded in a padded chamber instead of a bustling school, and it looks like it came from some alternate world, one that basks in the eternal sunshine of the spotless... Full Review

It's hard to complain about a pop culture phenomenon built on unabashed innocence. Full Review
