Doug Elfman

High School Musical 2 is very good. It's more than listenable. The music is surprisingly catchy, smartly penned and not annoying. Read full review

Bill Goodykoontz

So it's not the most original plot. So what? Kids are going to freak over it, and watch it again and again and again.... Tisdale is once again great as Sharpay--her performance of Fabulous is the best thing in the movie--and Lucas Grabeel gets his chance to shine as her long-suffering brother Ryan.

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

By the time the sing-along version of High School Musical 2 airs Sunday (8/19, 8/7c), two nights after the first screening, many kids already will have memorized the lyrics--and probably many of the dance moves. It's going to be that addictive. Read full review

David Hinckley

High School Musical 2 is an inevitable, unstoppable juggernaut--so be grateful it's as good as it is. Read full review

Kyle Smith

The story isn't quite as fresh, nor the message as warming, but there are wall-to-wall zippy pop numbers to keep your little girls squealing happily. Read full review

This sequel is a lot better than the first movie. The songs are better, +1;
The much superior story, +1;
The villain's plan, +1;
But Troy himself and his poorly delivered and written dialogue, -1.
All in all, High School Musical 2 gets an 8/10 from me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the best of the 3, it was fun, interesting, funny, cringe, with heart. It was everything a movie like this could really do. The Gabriella leaving part felt a bit forced and not as natural as the first, but it was all to make the plot work and give the big reveal. Troys confusion when sitting on that chair was the same as me when I was watching, that was a bit painful but it had a purpose. The most memorable thing though was the message it gives about friends and the bet on it song from Troy was one to remember. Worth a watch whoever you are.… Expand

I consider High School Musical to be kind of average and the second part is almost the same, maybe a little worse. The school setting here has been replaced by a kind of desert where the main character has come to work for us and gradually the plot develops. Nothing special. Songs againI consider High School Musical to be kind of average and the second part is almost the same, maybe a little worse. The school setting here has been replaced by a kind of desert where the main character has come to work for us and gradually the plot develops. Nothing special. Songs again every now and again. Whether better or worse is hard to say. For me a below average film and I recommend it only to fans of High School Musical.… Expand
