I HATE "High school musical 1&2".
Seriously...they are the most superficial, cliche, fairytale-ending like movies ever invented....arghh!
In the movies they are encouraging people to do their own things, be their own person and try new things, but they also sing a song that says in a part of it..."Stick to the stuff you know".
Thats conflicting messages!!
I don't want to defend "High School Musical" (it was vastly inferior to "Newsies", also by Kenny Ortega), but the "Stick to the Status Quo" song (the only catchy tune in the movie IMO) represents the first, knee-jerk reaction of the supporting characters who are proven wrong at the end of the movie. This isn't "Star Trek" - there is actual conflict between characters.
