Well, I didn't end up seeing Stardust over the weekend. Next stop, Netflix. Sorry, Stardust.
Thanks for the heads-up on HSM, Babette. As GC said, it does indeed have a much better message than the sequel. So even with much worse choreography and Zac not having the services of his personal trainer yet, I liked it waaaay better than High School Musical 2.
I think the message for school age kids to live outside your peer-pressure box is hugely valuable. If you like to bake or sing or hip-hop dance, do it!
It was a much less generic moral than the sequel's cliche of don't-let-your-bigheadedness-ruin-your-friendships. Snore. So what if Zac was hotter in the second one?
(And, yeah, GC, his Dad was HOT in the original. Did they change dads or something??)
