This Disney made for TV flick is really well done. I was in quite a few musicals in high school, only scored leads in the chorus, never a star @;
Anyway, my little girls are mesmerized. They had been exposed to it at school and sang the songs before I parted with $15 to buy it at Costco. So right now they are in the shower singing "Soaring! Flying!" and it's nice.
A couple of things I liked about this movie:
Boys singing and dancing well. Really well. The choreography is terrific. It's great to see this. I also liked a song that's performed in the cafeteria. The "groups" are singing a song about maintaining the status quo. How the jocks are this way, the rah-rahs this way, the nerds this way and the stoners another way...yet within each little group is someone who wants to break out and try something else. Anyway, I thought it hit this little dilemma among teens squarely on the head.
I recommend it at least once, but your kids will be glued to the TV for a few hours and will always have this in play. I think part of it is seeing teenagers, but not having to endure any kind of sexual tension or love scenes--there's one kiss, I think.
Thumbs up.

Like I can tell you that "soaring, flying" is from "Start of Something New" and it was in the beginning of the movie when Troy and Gabriela first met on the boat in a karaoke contest but I digress.....
