'High School' loses charm....The eight deleted scenes aren't particularly strong.....fans crave, including shots of the cast, all decked out in sweats, rehearsing the complicated choreography for the "Night to Remember" number.....the two-disc DVD, built around the third installment in Disney's song-and-dance franchise, will unquestionably quench any young fan's thirst for Zac Efron....Efron also joins the group hug.... ...

Efron and Hudgens are attractive, sweet and endearing....If only real-life high school had been for me what it is for the student body of the fictitious Albuquerque of High School Musical .....It's entertaining for a teen mindset and extremely colorful.....which makes for the perfect movie for a young teen in puppy love to live vicariously through the characters.....The story was perfectly fine..... ...

High School Musical 3 doesn't patronise them, even as it glamourises this particular high school to a degree they will find hilarious. Adding snappy choreography, funky pop songs and a sense of humour transforms it into something unexpected - wholesome entertainment that's actually entertaining, not just wholesome. ... Full Review

I really enjoyed this movie and I plan to see it again....While I loved this movie, I also noticed lots of unbelievable events and plot holes.....Despite all that, there are some really funny moments....their rehearsal scene for the prom number is particularly good ("A Night To Remember").....very cute actors and actresses, catchy music, good dancing, humor, and topics they can really relate to..... ...
