Well last night was a big event in our household. It was the premier of High school Musical 2 and our kids (mainly Julia and Lea) have been all abuzz waiting for it to come. There has been a blitzkrieg of advertising which has had the kids in a frenzy everytime it comes on.
So we decided to make it a very special event, buying popcorn and their other favorite candies, which are usually reserved for a trip to the cinema. Thankfully the movie was show with only limited commercial breaks and the kids really liked it! Despite the late hour they were dancing and singing along to the numbers (and asking for more popcorn).
As for us we thought it was OK, maybe not a good as the original. Several reviews I've read have been more harsh but I think if the kids liked it then it likely met its goal. One thing my wife and I were wondering though was since the theme was "out for the summer" why it wasn't released in June so that it could have been a summer hit? My only thought was that Disney wanted to make sure it was still fresh for the x-mas gift seasons.
So if you have kids I am guessing they will enjoy it nearly as much as the original.
