Up until now, I’ve been able to ignore the High School Musical phenomenon, since the first two installments were made for television. But now that the third movie is coming to theatres, I can’t help but ask, do kids really like this? I guess I just remember a time when teenagers partook of pop culture phenomena that puzzled and/or annoyed our parents, like when I got in trouble for blasting Nirvana when I was supposed to be studying. But then, I was never a fan of Grease either, and what is High School Musical besides an even more squeaky-clean Disney version of Grease? But don’t mind me- if you’re a 15-year-old, or the parent of same, you’ve probably already made your plans for October 24. As for me, thanks but no thanks.
