At last, High School Musical makes its big-screen debut. Troy (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) and the gang are now high-school seniors, facing the pressures of prom night, graduation and having to perform their very own musical. The film focuses on choices: will Troy turn to basketball or acting? Can his and Gabriella’s love survive the distance when she goes off to college? It’s easy to mock High School Musical for being so squeaky-clean, it makes Grease 2 seem like Deep Throat, but it’s refreshing to see teenagers free of angst and drugs. The cast is good (especially Efron), the songs have a catchy S Club 7 groove and the dance routines — choreographed by the director Kenny Ortega (Dirty Dancing) — are bigger and better than ever.
