Editor's Note
"What Time Is It?" It's time to watch the sequel to the Nielsen-busting hit HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! This Disney Channel original movie brings back all the beloved characters from the first film, but it moves the action from the school year to the sizzling summer. Just because school's out, it doesn't mean that Troy (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), Chad (Corbin Bleu), and Taylor (Monique Coleman) just get to sit around. Instead, the four students get summer jobs at the Lava Springs Country Club, and they won't even get a break from Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Her family owns the club, and her biggest goal for the summer is to take Troy from Gabriella. With all the added attention, Troy gets a taste of the good life and it makes him wonder if he should be with Gabriella or enjoy the finer things. HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 features more of the upbeat musical numbers that made the first film such a smash hit including "Fabulous," "Work This Out," "You Are the Music in Me," and "Gotta Go My Own Way."

 | High School Musical 2: Extended Edition - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/15/2007 1:36 PM | | The plot is really just a vehicle to get to the energetic, non-threatening youngsters out on the dance floor! Not just the dance floor, but the pool, baseball diamond, kitchen, classrooms and anywhere else they can break into song. Director Kenny Ortega keeps the toe-tapping, finger snapping, Radio Disney-ish production numbers both quick and fresh. "I Don't Dance," "What Time is It'" and "Work This Out" will make even a cynical member of the household stop for a few minutes to watch and listen. ...read the full review |

The freshly scrubbed faces of the stars of "High School Musical" teasingly kick off the highly anticipated sequel with the sure-to-be-hit song "What Time Is It?" Clearly, it's time for "High School Musical" hysteria, round two. At this point, star Zac Efron could stand in front of the cameras reading the phone book and millions of girls would watch. Thankfully for viewers, and the rest of the equally talented cast, the new telepic offers plenty to tune in for...In fact, Hollywood might want to take note of just how director-choreographer Kenny Ortega and writer Peter Barsocchini eluded the sophomore slump with this winning sequel to the Disney Channel megahit...The choreography isn't groundbreaking or even that original, but it works here. Ortega cleverly incorporates a Stomp-like acumen into several numbers, deftly utilizing the surroundings, props and energy of his stars to maximum potential...What's stands out most about "High School Musical 2" is that despite their newfound and overwhelming fame, the actors all seem wholly committed to their characters and the franchise. And refreshingly enough, they all look reasonably close to the ages that they portray. - Laura Fries
