From there, the movie winds into a story that seems to get a tad too complicated at times. The bell rings, papers fly, and the cast kicks in to their first song of the movie. It is one minute until school ends for the summer and anticipation builds by the second. The story picks up at the tail-end of the same school year in which the original movie left off. It will not live up to the expectations of fans, though many of those fans will love this sequel anyway. Unfortunately, the sequel tries too hard. So what do you do when the green light comes for another movie? Try as hard as you can to capture all the same elements as before and hope it works again. You come up with a concept, sell it, produce it, air it and suddenly realize that it has that unique mix of elements that makes it an instant classic. Sometimes you just get lucky with a movie. So, while I welcomed the thought of a sequel, I also had my doubts. Now my oldest is planning a HSM party for her birthday this coming January. Not only do we now own the DVD, we purchased the movie on iTunes and the album as well. High School Musical is charming, fun, energetic, wholesome, and entertaining from beginning to end. Personally, I never intended to really watch the whole video, but found myself drawn in by the story, the characters, and the wonderful music, which kicks off within minutes of the video's start.

We first saw the movie in February of 2007 through the "On Demand" video service of our cable TV system. My daughters, ages 4 and 7, were late-comers to the original High School Musical movie.
