Why do people like high school musical so much?

No offense to people who like it, but I just don't see what all the hype is about. I think some of the songs are cheesy and it definatly does not portray high school accurately, so why do people like it so much?

Ok, I have never seen the show and don't really plan to, but let me ask you something. Do musicals ever portray anything accurately?

I know eh? I hate the movies. thre so fake.. I dont like the songs...sory no offense pplz who like them.

LMAO ...AL of You Guys d I Are On The Same Page..My Friend Said She Was going To See That And I was Like you Are Not 10..Lol you Better Take your @ss Home And Stop WIth All Of That...Its Retarted

xD if an ACCURATE high school movie was made, it would air on comedy central, not Disney.

thats funny

Well, just let me tell you guys once, that I am probably the biggest High School Musical fanatic who ever lived. I know everyting about it! Disney has a knack of making excellent movies, and I think that High School Musical is their best yet! My anticipation for HSM 3 to come out in Theatres on Oct. 24th, 2008 is killing me!

Now, you're probably thinking, but why?. This is why... High School Musical made me what I am today! It got me into theatre, singing, and dancing! I don't know what I would be or how I would live without High School Musical! It is just an excellent movie for all ages, and for anybody who likes music or High School challenges! On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give HSM #1 and #2 a: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,007!

I thought it looked stupid so I never watched it. and...I dont know...

I have no idea. Because I hate high school musical 1 and 2. They are pointless and really retarded and corny! haha I really like Camp Rock though. It kinda had a bad script but it's ok it was still good, you could guess what was going to happen the whole time which I don't like too much but oh well.

sorry I like turned this into a Camp Rock answer.

lol I think high school musical is really retarded too. looks like what a 5 year old would watch

I love high school musical. I think its so popular because its a clean, safe movie thats a heap of fun to sing and dance a long to. Id like to thank the person who asked this for saying no offence...but all those people who say its retarted, why do you waste your time answering questions about hsm if you think its retarted, I dont like screamo bands or emo bands or rock bands but do I go around saying its reatarted...NO. I love hsm and I think it great. Its about time that there is a clean and nice movie for everyone to enjoy. Zac efron is awesome and the target audience isnt even you!!! THANX TO DRAMA KID!!! I am also a huge fan of hsm and probs like it as much as you. I understand that you may not like hsm but dont call it retarted. JUST THINK OF ALL THE LITTLE KIDS WHO GET REALLY EXCITED WHEN THEY WATCH THE MOVIE..they enjoy it!

I am in high school now and when the first high school musical came out my chior teacher made us watch it. I slept through most of it but what I did watch was pretty wierd, I really can't belive that anyone would ever actually pay 10$ to go see it. It's kind of like a 40 year old watching telly tubies, I thought that all the people at school were making fun of it when they were talking about it but when I found out they liked it I was really confused. The only good thing about it was...well I can't really think of anything...haha I guess that says it all.
