I enjoyed it quite a bit with one major caveat.
I never really bought Nikki Blonsky as a noteworthy dancer. So kind of like an old film where they are obviously shooting day for night where I have to force myself to just ignore the long shadows I just had to say "ok, in the universe of this movie that is good dancing."
Once I got in the groove with that (and the audience stopped laughing at the mere appearance of Travolta) I had a good time. And the young, naive, schoolgirl look doesn't generally do anything for me but somehow Amanda Bynes produced quite the hormonal response from me with all the cliches that generally turn me off.
