Well, they managed to steal from "Dirty Dancing", "Grease", "HSM", several Elvis movies, "Beach Blanket Bingo", "Love American Style", and the Fairly Oddparents movie, "School's Out", for starters. They even managed the 1920's technique of wedging songs into the plot without setting them up properly. They're digging even more deeply into character (I mean caricature) development, especially with the adults in this travesty. Even worse, the self-congratulatory spots during commercial breaks made me long for Clara Peller shouting, "Where's the beef?". Did they really need to remind us to like them and that show?
Did anyone notice how much Sharpay (still can't believe parents would name their daughter after a excessively wrinkled Chinese dog) looked like Paris Hilton? Scary...
The technical aspects were really too awful to watch. The lip-syncing was so bad, I half-expected a Jackie Chan and Jet Li cameo. The songs were worse than last time, and they were vomit-inducing last time. My wife, who normally rolls her eyes when I get ranting like this, was agreeing with me most of the time this time around. Ol' papa Walt is TRULY spinning in his grave. Just remember, this is also the parent company of the network that brought you "Giapetto, the Musical".
