On the train home today, I met a man who (I think) worked for the Disney channel. He was waxing lyrically about the film "High School Musical" and how it had made the company $1 BN U.S. "Take it all in", he said to the person on the other end of his mobile, "let the movie run over you."
High School Musical is about the most mawkish, derrivative piece or junk that you or anyone else could imagine. All copies of this film should be destroyed for the public good. How could anyone think that 20 or so variations of songs along the lines of, "Wouldn't it be great to be nice to each other" would make for groundbreaking entertainment? This is adolescent entertainment gone profitably bad.
