High School Musical 3 sends the East High seniors toward graduation, and it was the first of the three made for cinemas instead of television.
The jump to a cinema budget is visible in the staging. The numbers are bigger, the sets are wider, and Sharpay finally gets a production number scaled to how she sees herself.
The story
Troy and Gabriella face separation when she is offered an early college place, while the rest of the Wildcats stage a spring musical about the thing none of them want to say.
Good to know
Not everyone is won over. One reviewer calls it formulaic and picks holes in the plot, while still crediting the dancing and the supporting cast, which is a fair warning if the first two films left you cold.
Synopsis
The first HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL movie to be released straight to the silver screen, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 finds the cast of the beloved earlier installments, all students at East High, dealing with the ups and downs of senior year.
While all the characters have their own dilemmas, the central issue, as in past films, is the relationship between sweethearts Troy (Zac Efron), the captain of East High's Wildcats basketball team, and the bookish Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), who face the possibility of imminent separation when Gabriella gets a chance to attend college early.
With this third outing in the wildly popular Disney series, director Kenny Ortega takes full advantage of HSM3's big-screen leap, staging musical numbers that go far beyond the scope of the movie's predecessors (see the lavish "I Want It All" by resident East High diva Sharpay, played by Ashley Tisdale).
