OK, first of all, high school musical 3 isn't really a movie. It's more a jumble of well choreographed dancing and tedious singing than a kids version of fame. All you have to do is look at director Kenny Ortega's filmography and you will find the first two HSM movies in the franchise, a ludicrous remake of footloose and several other dance-related films, all of which hardly desire killer scripts, and if you want one, I'd look away now.
senior year is basically the story of troy (zac efron) and Gabrielle (vanessa hudgens) who struggle with the idea of being separated with college looming ahead. along with the rest of the wildcats, they stage a spring musical to address their experiences, hopes and fears about their future. Meanwhile, Sharpay, the school's shallow and spoilt rich girl, plots to go all out planning the school's final musical show with the idea to add music to her piece. While She takes an annoying British exchange student under her wing, her camp twin brother, Ryan, has his sights set on something different after school. In addition, Troy's best friend and basketball teammate Chad( Corbin bleu), and Garbiella's best friend Taylor (Monique Coleman), all have their sights set on their plans after high school and come to terms with the reality of the real world. exciting, huh?! far from it. the movie feels like it is made up of so little proper dialogue that it barely finds any room for anything close to a story-line. the screen play is awful, feeling lazy and boring with not even an attempt at humour. furthermore,the film is way too long, and after the 100th dance/song, you'll want to strangle one of the actors. Not to say though, that the dancing is bad; there are some exceptionally choreographed sequences, but there's way too much of it and although I appreciate that this is a musical, you can't deny the fact that it has less of a plot than Mamma Mia and should have stayed nothing more than TV/DVD movie.
So, you'll either love it or you'll hate it. If you love it you're probably a nine-year old who believes that the worst thing that can happen in high school is detention, either that or you get a thrill out of spotting continuity mistakes.
