Why is High School Musical SO overrated?

It appeals to younger children (i think it mainly appeals to girls) But since you are older you like different movies.\nI think the age range for High School Musical it like ages 6-12

It's a  really good movie(i give it 2 thumbs up) \nIt's about Troy, efron)who is the star basketball player. When he meets beautiful Gabriella(Vanessa Anne hudgens) at a new year's  party, they have to sing karaoke together. They think they'll never see each other again until they both go to the same high school.Gabriella is new in town. Gabriella is a brainiac, and Troy is an athlete. When they both try out for the musical, it is a surprise to everyone, including Sharpay and Ryan(Ashley Tisdale, and Lucas grabeel) the school's best singers. They have been the leads in all of the musicals. Their trying out for the musical also surprises 3 other people: Troy's best friend, he's also on the basketball team,one of the people on the math team, who has been begging Gabriella to join the math team, and the other person is Coach Bolton. He is Troy's dad, and he's always been pressuring Troy to stick to the status quo, to only be interested in basketball, and to never try anything totally new.This movie is great , and I'm sure you will like it! It's on Disney Channel. No one knew it would be such a big phenomenon. It swept the nation, and the nation fell in love with zac efron.It's currently on DVD and video, and the soundtrack is in stores.

O MY GOSH! You ready for this...there is a group of girls...like 20 of them...at my school who had a HUGE party just to watch that stupid movie. They run around the halls all day singing along to it and obsessing over how good it is. Hello?! First of all, it's a Disney Channel movie, none of those movies have been good since like...2000. Second of all, it's sooo corny! It's not even cute. The songs aren't even catchy to me. What's going on nowadays?! It cracks me up how when you're in middle school, people make fun of you for liking pokemon, Disney stuff, Barnie, Barbies...but now that I'm in high school, people find it cool if you like that stuff. It's sorta dumb...someone care to explain it to me?! Maybe it's just my town, but this is crazy...

He's kinda cute.  He's like a poor man's (or woman's, in this case) version of Jared Leto.  I haven't seen High School Musical, but my 9 year old students listen to the music.  I can't stand it, but I remember being young and stupid and in love with Jonathan Brandis.  We all go through it.

I get tired of the predictable nature of the arrangements\nthe guitar tag lines playing the same melody that the frotman happens to be singing. The ever so overplayed\nbleckum bleckum bleckum drum breakdown in the middle.\nThe subject matter is one dimensional and often seems phony and put on. Suburbanite kids complaining about how bad they've got it and how crummy their personal relationships are? Go see a counselor and quit your crying. Better yet go ask the people on skid row how their lives are working out.\n\nIn so far as peer pressure goes?\nAnswer me this, do you want to follow the herd the rest of your life?\nI've made it this far (32 years) by not being influenced by others because people have to do what's right for themselves and only themselves, don't let them live your life for you and remember this, you pay a price for everything in life and if you're living at the price of regret, that's no life at all.

high school is so overated.  all you guys have to do is get an education but is is so dramatized.  why dont you wait till you graduate to be noticed.  let the girls hit puberty first and get over themself .  wait because a real woman will notice you.  all high schoolis is a popularity contest full of fake b***hes. listen hun girls in school are mean and shallow.  i am 31 and we start to get  mature and real when we hit about 25.  be patient it will happen.  i could never stand little school girls.

High school is the best time of your life? Perhaps you haven't experienced much else of life.\n\nI'm not gonna say that high school was terrible, but it definitely wasn't the highlight of my life.\n\nThere's too much pressure in high school to be someone that you are not. Status is defined by the clothes you wear and the type of car that you drive... even though it was the parents who bought the car and the clothes. So in essence, high school is just a competition of "my parents spoil me more than your parents spoil you".

I am! I am! lols those pop up thingys are kind of annoying though cus I'm trying to watch the movie but I stop and read the thing. Its distracting. IT was so retarded when that guy ,Troy's friend (tall, black, and big hair) was like "You Honor" to Ms.Darbis and the pop thing was like "You Honor" is what they use in court. Lols I still love High School Musical Though ♥

I give alot of the high schoolers I work with a hard time because I thnk P!ATD is one of the worst bands out there...\n\nbut if you like them, then more power to you. I always encourage people to listen to the stuff that makes them happy, but also look deeper than the artists that the radio and MTV are feeding the mainstream

OMG! I hope so, that was a GREAT movie, practically everyone in school saw it, its corney but the songs are soo catchy, all the songs are on my ipod! lol!\n\n\nEDIT:High School Musical 2 is the sequel to the Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical, set to be released sometime in 2007 (tentatively January 19th), although rumors suggest Disney is trying to move up the release date to sometime this fall.
