The topic: Review: Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure

----------------------------------------------

Last weekend I had the opportunity to view Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure.

It was cute, it was entertaining. It had a lesson to be learned (it’s a Disney picture, need I say more?  I still don’t like the idea of sport hunting after watching Bambi as a small child). 

Don’t give up your dream. 

Sharpay’s dream is to make it big on Broadway.  She’s given the opportunity after one of her home town performances. She’s thrilled.  She talks her father into letting her go (who gives her one month to realize her dream) and she rents an awesome penthouse and everything is going perfectly.  Until the management informs her that Boi, the most adorable little dog ever, isn’t welcome.  Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) loves her Boi and the next thing you know, she’s sitting on the street, with all of her baggage surrounding her. 

Rescued by a budding videographer (Austin Butler), she finds a run down apartment and dresses it up in pink and everything seems to be going well. She goes to the try outs, only to find out they don’t want her, they want a dog.  And I’d tell you more, but that’s something you’ll have to find out for yourself.  Suffice it to say that everything works out well for both Sharpay and Boi.  She lives her dream.

I enjoyed the bonus material. Not being familiar with the High School Musical franchise (well, yeah, I’ve seen the parade at Disney’s California Adventure, but that’s the extent of my HSM knowledge) it was interesting to see how Sharpay has evolved and the answer to everybody’s question “Why is everything Sharpay wears covered in rhinestones?” (To tell the truth, when I first got the offer to review the movie, I thought “not another dog movie, why do I always get the dog movies?” - I thought Sharpay was of the, um, canine persuasion….) Now I’m leaning towards adding the HSM movies to my Netflix queue.

The bloopers were cute, the dogs are NOT perfect at all.  Still adorable, though.   Butler’s behind the videocam footage was fun to watch, it’s nice to see what goes into making a movie and camera on camera on camera scenes (some of what you see in the movie was taken by him as the videographer). 

Anyway, this is a family movie, no expletives, no sex, no drugs or alcohol in sight, just light entertainment.  Refreshing.  Tweens might like it better than older teens, but it’s not a movie than will give anyone nightmares (well, I had a few unpleasant dreams starring Ashley’s wig—-j/k!)

A little help from my friends (planning her trip):
