Canada Movie Reviews of High School Musical 2 (Extended Edition)Movie Review: more high school than musicalThe second of the high school musical shows is a good view. High School Musical 2 puts a fresh spin on the old after school special clich? plot line of be true to yourself and your friends, not to mention putting it to music. When it comes down to it Disney did just that. Some parts of the premise are a bit out there, such as the number of people hired without interview to a country club. The music and performances are the primary redeeming elements of the show. The addition of "Huma huma" to the extended edition gives the audience better understanding of the characters attitudes following the scene, in fact the plot did not make sence without it. Most of the characters did grow and better themselves through the story. To sum up the movie has good points: the moral, growth, music, and performances. There were some not so good points: premise, old hat story, and a plot that requires a high school mentality. I do have one more warning. H.S.M.2 does not follow the classic musical format very well. Classic musicals use music to tell the story. H.S.M.2 only uses about half of the singing scenes to tell the story the other half are random performances. Albeit good performances they do nothing to further the story themselves. All in all HSM2 is a better than average to good show, but not great, hence 4 stars. |
