Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2007)

Yes the cast can sing. Yes they can act. Yes Disney is a powerful commercial force. Yes Disney has given us much we treasure. But please how can this film work? It has no story. It allows no access for its stars well known and documented talents. It has a Central Park song and dance routine where characters of no relevance to the movie arrive to no purpose and disappear thereafter. There is absolutely no MEMORABLE song. Remember this is the studio which gave us so many not least 'Wish upon a star'. Quite frankly Disney studios seem to have sunk into the same abyss into which SAS the Scandinavian Airlines seem to visit periodically. They forget that any service industry must please its public before it can please its accountants. So as an elderly vague admirer of the considerable talents shown in the High School movies, this is a terrible disappointment. Even Disney should be careful of a world view provided solely on the advice of their marketing department. Remember! Sales sell. Marketing spends.
