Critics' reviews

"Although the plot's not particularly novel, writer Peter Barsocchini's script maintains the fantasy elements while incorporating topical and relevant themes into the story."

Laura Fries: Variety
"Unless you have a kid under the age of seven, you'll probably find High School Musical a little too cheesy for its own good. (...) Rating: 5 (out of 10)"

IGN
"Mostly, 'High School Musical' makes an appealing case for an idealized vision of high school, where individuality is celebrated and even the mean kids know everyone's name."

Noel Murray: AV Club
"It's difficult to imagine even the most die-hard fan of musicals finding anything here worth embracing. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"

David Nusair: Reel Film
"'High School Musical' is kitsch, sexless and hopelessly clichéd, but it manages to offer a giddy sense of fun to a generation that's overdosing on seriousness"

Nick Levine: Digital Spy
"Adults may be bewildered by the film's runaway success, however for youngsters the catchy songs, gentle humour and overall vibrancy are likely to prove an irresistible combination."

Sloan Freer: Radio Times
"As a marketing phenomenon, this has exceeded all expectations for a TV movie. However as cinema... maybe you just really need to be a teen to get it."

Emma Cochrane: Empire
