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.
