If anyone rates under they obviously don't understand the thrill of cheesy films as a lot of people enjoy a little cheese now and then.

I'm in high school and I've never met anyone as emotionally stunted as every character in this movie. Even if someone could look past the unrealistic depiction of high school in its essence; that is: to go to SCHOOL, and report to class and not to run around with your friends and a basketball like an idiot, the characters are unforgivably one-dimensional. No one seems to understand or accept the rather simple concept of having multiple interests and hobbies, otherwise known as having a personality. And when the cast eventually does come around, it's almost out of nowhere and too soon in the story, literally not even ten minutes after the footage of Troy's dismissal of the musical is shown to Gabby do the orchestrators of this plan make a complete one-eighty in their opinions regarding the musical. This along with terribly cliché, cardboard acting and shallow songs makes this a movie someone can only watch ironically.

Let me start by saying, I was 10 when this movie came out. And I loved it. At the time, it was revolutionary. I eagerly waited for the sequels and was sufficiently satisfied. Now, I'm 20, and as I go back and re watch them, I realize that, while they aren't as earth shattering as I thought they were, I still find them extremely entertaining. No, it's not Shakespeare. No, it's not an accurate representation of life as a high school student. But it's just fun! I find myself singing along every time I watch and knowing all the words years later. It's the kind of movie that defines your childhood. And so maybe it's just me, but that's the kind of movie that sticks with me. It's not perfect, but it's the one that makes me remember how simple it was to be 10 years old. I would also like all the critics of this movie to keep something in mind. THIS MOVIE IS MADE FOR KIDS!! You can't expect it do be fantastic. So if you didn't grow up watching it like I did, you may not like it. Kids now may not like it. But this movie took my generation by storm. If you didn't watch this movie went it came out, you had nothing to talk about at school the next Monday. And when you have that kind of reaction to a movie it sticks with you. So I love it. And I hope everyone else can cut this movie a little slack too.
