Last night for family home evening with my nieces and nephews we watched High School Musical. A sucker for teenage angst films, but morally opposed to musicals, I am conflicted.
1. The basketball team was ready to disown Zachary F-Ron for wanting to sing, but whenever they got together to complain about it, they sang about it.
2. Basketball coaches at East High must make a lot of money to afford a New Year's Eve ski vacation with a built in kids' club with high end karaoke. That same basketball coach seems to never actually coach practices.
3. The mean girl and her weird brother (who might actually be Macauly Culkin with jaunty hats) was mean all throughout but then when she lost her part in the musical turned nice without even a moment of humility or rage which seems unlikely without Supernatural grace.
4. There were never any teachers in the classrooms of the school. Where were the teachers? What about liability? Suppose if there was a fire in the school?
5. After the unexpected karaoke boy-meets-girl, boy-sings-perfectly-without-ever-seeing-a-microphone-before meeting, why did they just take pictures of each other with their phones but never exchange numbers? It doesn't work that way.
6. The fatal flaw of all musicals holds. HOW DO THEY ALL KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO SONGS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD? Scientology, that's how.
