i thought it was one of the worst things that i had to sit through … the acting was even more aweful than the lip synching ~ but them lucky kids are making bank!
i was so pumped for HSM2..and it was such a disappointment. ive seen the first one so many times, i love it..but i guess thats what you get for having faith in a musical sequel!
Zack is hot but he's selling himself short. He CANT act, but he can sing.
and Vanessa whats her nuts???!!! STOP SINGING THROUGH YOUR NOSE.
the dance moves needed to be brought into this century. lame lame lame.
I liked it , i mean i got sick of Ashely tisdale and Zac always being on the fking screen the whole time , I loved the baseball part .. i wish i Could dance like that ! .. corbin is so hot , and so is Lucas gabreel ( i think thats how u spell it) … okkk done here loL
Zach Efron is ugly especially when he makes those wierd retarded expresions when he is alarmed or something BUT corbin bleu is soo hot and that is why i watched the movie.
VANESSA HUDGENS OR WHATEVER CAN'T ACT!! OR SING! AND SHE SMILES FOR NO REASON :p
I was expecting a Grease 2-like debacle, so I was pleasantly surprised with it, plot and theme-wise ("skintone compatible"?! subtle!)…I actually thought Vanessa was the only one who didn't sound canned, and hers was the only song I really liked…oh and ZAC EFRON WAS NOT GOOD OR ATTRACTIVE BUT CREEPY AND GROSS!! I feel bad for him, Disney should let him out of the Disney cage which is apparently turning him into an Oompa Loompa (orange much?)…just kill him off and give the main plotline to Ashley, Monique or Corbin even the one who plays Zeke or the token fat girl, they ALL have GOBS more talent in every respect. The boy has headlined this phenomenon and thusly KILLED his CAREER. Whatever, in the end the best part of the night was the Jonas Brothers on Hannah Montana. Adorable.
Oh PS he's not the new David Cassidy but rather the new MONTGOMERY CLIFT (Vanessa is his Liz Taylor)….all kinds of uncomfy-in-his-own-skin and closeted - am I right? Disfiguring car crash, coming right up.
hmm. blechh. =D it was okayy, but…
zac efron– gayyy. =D i love how he did a little jump and twirl in the song bet on it. and his moves in the work song were very michael jackson sexy…haha.
vanessa anne hudgens– boring. and her hair looked fuzzy. =D her personality is freaking annoyinggg and zac and her had no chemistry at alll. HAA!
ashley tisdale– cute. =D i loved her outfits, amazingly. the song fabulous was good, but a little broadway.
corbin bleu– annoying. and his hair is weird and freakish.
monique coleman– BUTCHHHH.
lucas grabeel– three letters: G. A. Y. his fedoras were cute, but all the other hats sucked. and he should have stuff with sharpay.
the little annoying 10 year who played kelcy– DON'T SING. EVER. and get rid of the curly hair and annoying green and black plaid hats PLEAAAASE.
Watching it right now. Baby girl likes it, Zac is definitely a cutie pie! Ashley is the perfect bitch(yes i know all the names). Vanessa Im really not so impressed by.
was absotuley amazing!!! loved every song in it, especially zac efrons. he is fucking goregous and i want him. vanessa just bothers me, especially because she is with him. perez you are amazing and i lahv you!
Yes, I saw the movie, and it was pretty grood and GAY (as in happy) better than the first definitely. But quick question: does zac run like a girl??? thoughts….
I am not particularly a fan of the High School Musical movies, but the kids I nanny for love it! I have to say, after watching it, we all felt like dancing and singing our hearts out. Zac Efron is super cute and equally dreamy in a JTT or Growing Pains-era Leo DiCaprio way - he was also well cast as Link in Hairspray! This is a great kids movie with a fun-loving and universal message. I hope that Disney can keep putting out more High School Musical movies like a recent article in the Wall Street Journal said it was planning on doing - what a great change from worthless kids shows like Spongbob Squarepants and Bratz.
I watched High School Musical 2. Personally, I Think The First One Was More Entertaining… Actually….Way More Entertaining! I Was So Bored I Left Half Way Through The Movie And Went On the Computer… I Did Get To See The Part When Ashley Tisdale Was Crying Though I Laughed!
OMG HE'S SO FUCKING HOTT! I WENT TO THE PREMIERE AT DOWNTOWN DISNEY AND DAMN IT!!!! WELL, I ALSO FOUND THIS GAY PORN VIDEO WHERE THIS GUY LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ZAC EFRON. KINDA WEIRD!!!
OMG IT WAS SOO GOOD well i loved it anyways .. i had a lil viewing party we watched the first movie then the concert and then the second one. Not that good songs but i loved the plot line. Zac was soo hot lol and he did sing in this movie… he didnt in the first
uhm, it totally could of been better..if they really did try.
first one beats it forsure.
but i heard the third highschool musical is
suppost too hit the movies?
true?
FREAAKIN LOVE READING PEREZ' BLOGS THEY CRACK ME UP BUT SUMTIMES OFFENSIVE BUT WHO IN HOLLYWOOD ISNT I LOVE IT!! I TIVOED IT…BUT IM KINDA IFFY ABOUT WATCHING CUZ MY AUNT SAID IT WASNT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST AND THE MUSIC ISNT THAT GOOD EITHER….II MIGHT ANYWAYS JUST TO WATCH
that was the dumbest, that little blonde bitch gets on my nerves, with her fake ass hair, you can see every track of weave in her hair, damnit, her hair makes britneys old hair look good. and i would rather babysit her screaming kids than to watch that dumb ass movie again.
umm, what kid into HSM would be reading perezhilton.com, be forreal, and to all you people who liked it, i hope your in high school or have a kid. i saw the dude in hairspray and he was good, but the first one is sooooo annoying,i bet the 2nd was annoying too,
HE DOSENT GO OUT WITH VANESSA ANYMORE! awww ohh well he has a new girlfriend now you can add her on myspace to see her if you want… myspace.com/elainafuckingshaw
loved it! especially the scene of zac playing basketball with no shirt on and only wearing khaki pants. disney was TOTALLY trying to cash in on the teeny bopper girls and gays with that scene! haha
i liked it..not as much as the first one..but it was pretty good.
zac efron is hott, and can really sing.
i really HATE vanessa hughnes.(sp?)
she cannot sing; they do a voice over.
and she can't act at all.
That was the GAYEST thing I have ever seen…and not the slang gay, as in, kind of dumb..but gay as in BIG HOMO GAY! I mean really, as a gay man, I sat there and was like……"Is he really doing THAT dance on the golf hills, by himself? Is that supposed to be emotional? Because it looks very odd and uncomfortable! THIS IS SO GAY!!!" Can't wait for the 3rd one!!!!
Perez- love to tell you this… Zac could pass for a young Jared Leto. I watched some of the show and one of the songs he sang around the golf course- UH- if Jared sang popish songs and danced around- would have done it just like that. They are very similar. I new you always had a crush on Jared! It's ok
it sucked ass! i'm sorry but the more i watched it, the worse it got… but the only reason i watched it till the end was because of mr. Zac "HOTT" Efron himself. hes too adorable for words
zac efron is a total hottie! my thoughts are that he will be a huge breakout star. wtach out! I watched HSM2 just to see him all ruffled up and doing his thing (and even tivo'd the first freeking one). I interviewed him last week at the HSM2 premiere at disneyland and when asked the question, if he had any special talents or quirks, his reply was "I've answered that question too many times. I'm done. I'm out of answers. move on." looks like he is becoming a bit of a diva as well…
movie not as good as first.. i pretty much shit myself when i saw zac singing to himelf in the poind reflection…omfg !!!zack is still fucking gorgeous thou
Way over rated and over promoted. The first one was way better this one was just sooo lame and got a gay vibe from Zac (hello…who prances on a golf course all alone..?) Corbin stuck out to me way more than Zac and so did corbins dancing..I dont know I was just thoroughly disappointed. BOOOOO
kk it was very gay cuz like right when someon is sad they just go start singing and then right when Troy is mad he just goes start singing on the field like pathetic they needed to improve on it like for fuuck sakes the first one was way better. Whoever thought it was a good movie and is now your favourite movie now, you basically have no life.
HSM 2 was absolutely AMAZING. I was obsessed with the first one and the second one did not disappoint. I have already seen it 4 times. I love Zac Efron!
omg i loved it it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good i loved the song fabulous its was great the only thing i didnt like was when zac nd vanessa kissed shes a hoe!!!
My kids thought it was great, thats what really matters, why would adults even comment on this. Zac is very cute and if by chance he is gay, let him come out when he's ready!!!!
so many scenes that were literally GAY. who saw his man capris during the final scene. it was disturbing
also the music wasnt that good.
dancing/choreography was amazing
wow he looked super super super homosexual in the Bet On It song, running through the fields..
hes gorgeous though…too bad
AND side note: vanessa hudgens has a TERRIBLE voice!
In the Rolling Stone article, Saffron says that his favorite ITunes downloads are "show tunes", and that his acting hero and mentor is (openly gay actor) Sir Ian McKellan. Do you delusional, mindless girls need ANY MORE evidence?? Saffron is gayer than a three dollar bill, gayer than Richard Simmons and Rosie McDonals's love child, and most assuredly gayer than John Revolta, Tommy Cruise Mapother, Tom Selleck, and all the rest of the closeted pipe-smokers in West Hollywood. Don't doom yourselves to a life of fag-haggery, there are plenty of very good looking straight guys out there that you can idolize and worship - quit wasting your time on Saffron, he ain't interested!!!!! (But if you have a godlooking borother, contact him via his agent at CAA)
loves zac sexfron. hates vanessa hudgens. GO HSM2!
it was very predictable, too much hype for nothing.
The only reason I watched HSM 2 was to look at Zac and think damn Vanessa gets to hit that. I want to do dirty things with Zac…

Zack is hot but he's selling himself short. He CANT act, but he can sing.

LOVED IT ASHLEY WAS A BIG TIME BITCH IN IT!!!
Oh PS he's not the new David Cassidy but rather the new MONTGOMERY CLIFT (Vanessa is his Liz Taylor)….all kinds of uncomfy-in-his-own-skin and closeted - am I right? Disfiguring car crash, coming right up.
yes and it by far the most amazing movie ive ever seen
hmm. blechh. =D it was okayy, but…

Great Musical …Rates up there with Grease .. Hope Zac turns into a John travolta and makes tons of non Disney movies.
basically the worst thing i've ever watcher. can't handle that shit. 15 min and then off it goes!
Well….at least they actually used Zac's real voice in this movie (as opposed to them using another singer from HSM 1)
hahah i havent seen it i want to though the first one was so corny it was great!!!
i love zac.. look at that pose thats the least gay pose yet all his others just prove how stuck up he really must be but that doesnt mean he isnt sexy
OMG he is soooooooo HOT!!
just looking at that photo makes me feel a little insane!
not as good as the first … though hes is SOOO sexy!
one word ….atrocious .. why waste your timeee with number 2 number one wass justttttt as fruity .. fruitcakes
Can't get enough! The music was hella catchy!
dreamy indeed…loved it =)
the first one was way better. the second one was too cheesy. and zac efron is too pretty.. almost prettier than his co-stars.hahaha
LOVED IT!
I am not particularly a fan of the High School Musical movies, but the kids I nanny for love it! I have to say, after watching it, we all felt like dancing and singing our hearts out.

I watched High School Musical 2. Personally, I Think The First One Was More Entertaining… Actually….Way More Entertaining! I Was So Bored I Left Half Way Through The Movie And Went On the Computer… I Did Get To See The Part When Ashley Tisdale Was Crying Though

I watched some of the show and one of the songs he sang around the golf course- UH- if Jared sang popish songs and danced around- would have done it just like that. They are very similar.

I used to think zac was hot, but after this one im convinced he's gay. I mean his flamboyant solo was just too uncomfortable.
