High School Musical 3: Senior Year is the third film in Disney's record-smashing series, and the first to debut in theaters rather than on the Disney Channel, and while many of the elements are the same, the film is at times bigger to accommodate the big screen. All the usual characters are back, but not for long: it's senior year, and the classmates are all facing the prospect of leaving East High in separate directions. Troy (Zac Efron) is ready to play hoops at the University of Albuquerque with best friend Chad (Corbin Bleu), but doesn't want to be a thousand miles away from Stanford-bound Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens). Taylor (Monique Coleman) is headed to Yale, while Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), and the school's pianist-composer Kelsi (Olesya Rulin) are all in the running for a single scholarship to Juilliard. The showcase for them will be Ms. Darbus' new musical, Senior Year, which will recap the academic careers of the students themselves. (So if the original HSM was a retelling of Grease, HSM3 is more A Chorus Line.) There are a few new characters: Sharpay's personal assistant Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown), and Troy's hangers-on, Rocket Man (Matt Prokop) and Donny Dion (Justin Martin), who may give the franchise life beyond its original cast (if they make some headway in the likability department). But it's all about the songs and the dances. Ryan and Sharpay sizzle in a classic-musical tribute "I Want It All"; Troy and Gabriella share a rooftop waltz in "Can I Have This Dance"; and Troy and Chad blow off steam in a salvage yard in "The Boys Are Back." "Now or Never" is this film's "sports song," and Troy and Gabriella have their big duet "Just Wanna Be With You" and their own showcases, in "Scream" and "Walk Away," respectively. If the closing anthem, "High School Musical," seems on the self-congratulatory side, it's a rare misstep in a series that has made a generation of tweens (especially girls) sing and dance and realize they can be whatever they want to be. --David Horiuchi

Hazing and Hallucinations?,

This review is from: High School Musical 3: Senior Year (DVD)
I got this movie a few days ago and sat down last night for a marathon of the three movies. While the songs were up to the quality of the previous movies, the possessed car in the junkyard and hallucination-like spinning room in the school (to name just two of the horrible visual choices) paired with the nearly constant moments of public humiliation and hazing (aka bullying) with crowds laughing along as if it were all great fun, run counter to the message of cooperation and comradery which attempts to run through the trilogy.The movie also, as [...] points out, decides to "pair the spares" in order to avoid the chance that a Disney character might be homosexual or bixesual. Very disappointing, but as stated, the songs are good.
4.0 out of 5 stars

My daughter loves this movie and every time we watch we sing and dance. It teaches a great lesson to youth... and reminds their parents of their youth and what their children are experiencing.
