Why am I worried it's going to be The Passion Of The Christ??

I'm pretty sure no modern sect has the crucifixion taking place in New Mexico.

Well, maybe the Methodists.

Maybe they ran out of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Mike went crazy and slaughtered everyone.

I KNEW that nice guy demeanor was only skin deep. A troubled man lies beneath.

Much like a scandalous private photo of a semi-famous teenage girl (what? just an example), High School Musical mysteriously showed up in the RiffTrax mailbox one day.  And now we thank Efron, the ancient god of non-threatening gender ambiguity, that it did.  We'd been searching for a movie that would finally address the issue of cliques in high school, something you never see in a high school film (unless you've seen any high school film).  And, further, a work with the courage to let people know, hey, it's okay to just be who you are, you don't have to try to fit in, and finally that following your heart may be the wisest course of action.  High School Musical is that work, and we're just pleased as punch (flavorless, room-temperature punch) to see its trailblazing so handsomely rewarded.

Yes, the film was so successful that these days you can hardly throw a stone in a middle-school playground without hitting a kid with a High School Musical backpack (much field-testing has proven this correct).  And it's easy to see why.  The movie is packed with tuneless, un-catchy songs that leave your mind the moment they're over (even when you're sitting in a prison cell for throwing stones at middle-school playgrounds).  It's also jammed with exciting basketball action, depicted as authentically as your grandmother might describe the game, assuming your grandmother has never seen basketball, or even part of an episode of SportsCenter.  If you can say only one thing about High School Musical, it's this: the movie is set in a high school and contains a musical!*

Mike, Kevin, and Bill will sing about acceptance and togetherness while shoving you into a locker if you don't check out High School Musical!

David and Rattrap, please submit your info to support@rifftrax.com for your winnings.

Maybe the hand of God smote him before he could announce it.
