I hate today’s modern world. Nowadays if one thing becomes even remotely popular, we get the next plague of lunch-boxes and posters plastered with the same, repetitive image. eg Shrek. Such is the case of High School Musical, which is already as popular as toilet paper. And I hate it. I hate the lame songs, the cheesy story and characters, and I hate the people who invented this…..thing down to their very soul. Lets start with the story. I would rather shave my head with a rusty chain-saw than memorize the plethora of unoriginal, lame characters, so I’ll just call them by what part they have in the movie; boy, girl, black guy, black girl, crazy teacher, crazy father, gay person, and dumb blond. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love, but boy needs to go back to school in other country. Girl just HAPPENS to be moving to boy’s school. Dumb blonde gets jealous. Dumb blond and gay person try to sabotage boy and girl’s relationship by getting girl too caught into black girl’s math club. Meanwhile, crazy teacher has drama project. Boy wants to impress girls by entering, but black guy and crazy father want boy to stick with basketball. In the end, everyone except for the dumb blonde is happy and they all live happily ever after. End. The story line is VERY similar to the story of Grease. Let’s review. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love, but boy needs to go back to school in other country. Girl just HAPPENS to be moving to boy’s school. Dumb blonde gets jealous. Dumb blond and other girl try to sabotage boy and girl’s relationship by getting girl too caught into screwing up relationship. Meanwhile, mean guy starts a race. Boy wants to impress girl by being a jock, but greaser buddies want boy to stick with racing. In the end, everyone except for the dumb blonde is happy and they all live happily ever after. END! Now for the worst part. The music. If this movie had not been called High School Musical and instead Talentless Teens Beating a Baby Elephant with a Dying Cat Trying To Impersonate a Parrot Being Hacked to Pieces with a Rusty Nail, I’d be none the wiser. I hate these kind of movies where all of the sudden some guy starts singing “Look, I’m opening my LOCKER!!!” and suddenly he telepathically makes everyone near him sing and dance to it in perfect synchrony. I know, some of the best movies have these moments, but because it’s necessary. In The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack couldn’t have just said, “Oh, look, there’s white stuff all over the place, as well as colors. Oh Joy.” He HAD to sing it. In Sweeney Todd they couldn’t have said, “There was this guy and his wife and kid and the judge had him arrested so he could be with her, so now he’s gonna kill him.” Yea, the movie is called High School Musical, but the title is referring to the play within the movie. They had four options: 1. Not make it a musical.2. Not call it High School Musical.3. Not make the friggin’ movie. 4. Put in horrible meaningless music. Guess which they chose. The actors should all die a horrible, horrible death to repay for their sins. Like watch their movie until they gouge their eyes out with spoons and tear out their ears. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SCRIPT??? Ever played the first Resident Evil game? Where the heroin says things like, “Oh. No. I. Had. Better. Look. Out. For. Zmobies.” In High School Musical, they don’t even try. At least Resident Evil is funny, but they SCREAM out their hearts desires, like so: High School Musical Person: “YEA!!!!!! IMMA GONNA GO TO DA MUSICAAAAAAAALLLL!!” Sane Person: “OWW! Stop screaming! What is your problem?” “WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHAAAAAAR!” Well, I’m done. I sincerely hope you agree to my opinions.
