      My 9 year old daughter and I love to watch HSM movies because of the cast. We love the Disney Channel and we loved the shows that the cast had been in prior to the BIG explosion of what HSM has now become. We also think that the director, Kenny Ortega, did a wonderful job when it comes to the story line for these characters. He really depicts true to life senerios in a young teens high school years.

    118. #118 Candie L on March 3, 2009:

      I love to watch and compare the movie high school with my own high school days. It’s a little nostalgic, but in a different way.
