Are you in the mood for cheesy musical dance sequences that start randomly? Do you feel like watching six teenage stars who are not only younger than you but have much more money than you perform those dance sequences? Do you want to see shot after shot of Zac Efron? If you answered yes to any of those questions or are between the ages of 8 and 15, then High School Musical 3: Senior Year is the film for you.
The third installment of the successful series and the first to be released in theaters once again follows Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, Sharpay, Chad and Taylor in their quest to perform the perfect musical. The main conflict of the film stems from the fact that Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) may have to break up as they are both planning to go to different colleges. Meanwhile, Troy, Ryan, Sharpay and the composer of the music for the musical, Kelsey, are all in the running for a scholarship to Juilliard, which causes Troy to rethink his future. Does he want to go to school on a basketball scholarship or performance scholarship? To make it an even more difficult decision for him, Disney throws in the fact that the basketball scholarship is from his dad’s alma mater, so most of the film follows Troy and the other characters’ angst about their futures.
The plot leaves something to be desired, but the choreography and overall production value of the film is incredible.

Eh... if I want to watch a movie about teen angst, I'll pop in one of my Harry Potter DVDs. At least they have flying brooms and dragons.
