It's an irrepressibly colourful and upbeat effort and the result is Grease meets Fame meets Annette Funicello and Elvis Presley, for 8-to-12-year-olds. Go to Full Review
Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter 09/10/2019
High School Musical 2, like the original, does well by doing good. While Disney coffers swell, these movies inspire a new generation to think seriously about dance and about the impact of drama laced with music. Go to Full Review
Diane Werts Newsday 09/10/2019
[High School Musical 2] succeeds as what it's designed to be - a good-enough-for-the-kids, clean-enough-for-the-parents, profitable-enough-for-Disney product. Go to Full Review
Aric Jenkins The Ringer 04/25/2023
The original High School Musical may have started it all, but its sequel is the movie that permanently etched those songs into the millennial consciousness. Go to Full Review

3/5
The musical numbers are ready-made for single release, the performances, as before, are energetic, and the minor characters are given extra screen time, making the action more rounded. All in all, it's a squeaky-clean delight. Go to Full Review

Lily T @RT28554561 4d High School Musical was a movie for entertainment and lesson at the same time. The actors were so much beautiful and they all had fun shooting this movie. See more brittany R @RT87199463 Jun 12 Hello! I think this was a nice hyper active and exhilarating film. It definitely wasn’t as good as the first one in the sense of its overall impression. I personally liked all of the highschool musical films and I think it’s one of the best youth film series that are true movies not series in a long long time where the following films don’t fall out completely each round. Movies have become over saturated. It is amazing how good a film can be when you put a lot of effort into it because skimping on large films 🎥 never works, they gave this a 110 percent for all films.

It has catchy songs, exciting dance scenes, and lots of funny and emotional moments. The movie is simple but very entertaining, making it great for families and anyone who enjoys cheerful musicals.

I hate this movie and I don’t like it. Just swear if you watch it, I am not kidding high school musical and daddy‘s tummy is that one and two high high school musical 121-3123 it’s so good movies about high school musical but who is the worst movie you would like it has a littl dogs on the face is also watch it but butt butt be prepared to cry, but also you’ll get paid if you don’t if you love it but you get paid this movie pulse See more Scorch T @Scorch9 Mar 29 just adore this so much. musical numbers are just still amazing. the plot is genuinely a lotta fun and allows for some really entertaining stuff. love how it tackles fears of the future and not losing who you are. See more REIKAO4EVER T @RT00756449 Nov 7 troy bolton PMOOOO, humu humu is the best song out of the whole movie. troy had to get an emo phase to sing an actually decent song. troy and gabriella never really patched anything up. troy got a mid life crisis and sang with her at the end but that's really it. sharpay and gabriella should have gotten together. this is so shallow, even kaoru's hook ups has more chemistry. if yumenosaki hosted musical contest like this instead of making people kts, it would have been so much better.
