THEY’RE FACING THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE YET… SUMMER JOBS.

The East High School kids get jobs at a country club during the summer break, but they still find the time to put on a show. Expectations for this sequel among the preteens almost reached the kind of hysteria their grandparents reserved for The Beatles back in the day. It’s more of the same; the young cast do their best to please and the songs are better this time. The story revolves once again around Ashley Tisdale’s scheming and the love affair between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens; a bit protracted and plastic-looking, but kids adored it nonetheless.

2007-U.S. Made for TV. 104 min. Color. Directed by Kenny Ortega. Cast: Zac Efron (Troy Bolton), Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans), Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman.

Trivia: Followed by a feature film, High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008).
