Also, and I cannot believe I am making this comment, I feel the need to clarify that the character of Troy Bolton (yes. That is his name. Troy Bolton) is not actually ridiculously wealthy, and his job at the rich people's club - as well as his friends' jobs - was obtained by virtue of a rich chick wanting to bang him. Which is ... not much better, actually. And it's still fucking ridiculous. THANK YOU, DISNEY.

Troy Bolt-akghakghaa oh MY GOD.

I actually have very little idea of the character beyond...what? He's an OMG JOCK who fell in lurv with an OMG BRAINY CHICK (or... uh whatever OMG FORBIDDEN CLIQUE CLASS that chick is?) and their love is so pure and she dumped him in this movie because he FORGOT WHO HE WAS? And now he must sing about how LONELY and COLD AND SCARY THE WORLD IS. At this rich people's club. Where he's getting paid to nance around the golf course apparently?

Okay in reality I'm just mocking Zac Efron, who I actually have nothing against. BUT MY GOD ZAC EFRON, YOU'RE KINDA SILLY HERE.

That's pretty much accurate - the school's resident rich bitch Sharpay (I'M NOT KIDDING, THAT'S TOTALLY HER REAL NAME...also she acts super-incesty with her brother in the first movie) gets her family to hire him at the resort they own because she wants to bone him, and his friends end up tagging along and being mistreated by Sharpay (and eventually Troy). And basically the entire movie is her trying to steal him from the brainy-yet-gorgeous heroine (Gabriella) by dangling Italian loafers and potential basketball scholarships and shit in front of him.

Also Zefron is totally ridiculous, and I'm pretty sure he's gay (SRSLY THAT MAKEUP), but the HSM franchise is like a kind of radioactive musical crack - it's ridiculous but enjoyable, and while the music isn't Sondheim it's quite catchy. (I still can't get this song out of my head, in which Gabriella basically tells Troy "you're bein' a douche, screw you, I'm goin' home" and Troy subsequently emos until something makes him realize that OMG GABRIELLA'S RIGHT, SHARPAY IS TURNING HIM INTO A MAN WHO BLOWS PEOPLE OFF AND IS A DOUCHE...cue dramatic golf-course flouncing.)

HILARIOUS TRUE STORY: I somehow managed to miss the fact that Sharpay and Ryan were siblings until, like, the very last scene of the first movie. And it rocked my mind.
