...and it was AWESOME! Seriously, we were cracking up almost the entire time. I mean, I really do like it and respect it kind of, but it's just so perfect... so ludicrously, unabashedly, cheesy (and yet delightful).
I'm glad they decided to put this one in the real theater - experiencing it with other people was priceless! Having a theater full of people all laughing at the inanities together was fun, and hearing the kids reactions/silliness was definitely amusing.
Best moment of the night:
[It's quiet in the theater, we're all watching...]
[On screen: Troy Bolton strips his shirt off...]
Girl in audience: "Gasp!!"
*beat*
[Almost everyone in the place starts laughing at the awesomeness/absurdity of this combination...]
"SHHH!1!" says the woman (yes, woman - a mother of uncertain age) sitting in front of us. As if to say: "I'm watching a SERIOUS movie here; STOP MAKING NOISE."
After she so rudely interrupts our glee, I realize Troy has started singing without me noticing, and now has a shirt on. Then follows a pretty kick-butt singing/dancing solo.
Favorite song: that one Troy does about being angsty and not knowing what to do with his life. With sexy jeans.
Favorite dance number: "The Boys are Back", seriously awesome (and manly) dance routine in a junkyard.
Favorite song line: Troy: "I'll take the lead...you don't have to be afraid of falling..." or something like that. Was cute.
It's so funny, Zac Efron is grown up now! He totally has man hands/forearms. He *is* pretty dishy; I'm looking forward to that 'Big in reverse' movie of his. Should be funny!
