Is this the Disney thing? I heard someone talking about it last week and they said it is huge in the States. What exactly is it tho??!

I'll be curious to see how this translates across the pond. I personally really enjoyed it, and it’s become quite a hit with the kids over here. It's a musical in the best tradition of Rogers and Hammerstein (but with a modern rock beat).

SLIGHT SPOILERS:

It's a musical about a basketball player who meets a girl on holiday. During the trip they are forced to participate in a karaoke party together, and discover they really enjoy singing.

When he returns home, he finds she's transferred to his school. (Reminiscent of Grease.) He's a "cool guy" on the basketball team and she's a big academic achiever who hangs out with the smart kids. Neither wants to admit to their friends they have a desire to try out for the school's musical production.

Check that up.................I thought it was 6pm!

DD has been driving me nuts to get back from her swimming lesson in time...

Edited to add that DS is a basketball player so that's probably why DD is so keen.....................

 

[jns]

My girls downloaded this movie way back in January and they absolutely love it. I bought them the DVD when it came out in the US as it is now their fave film. Even though they've seen it loads of times, they are still looking forward to seeing it on the Disney Channel tonight ~ mad or what ??

 

[wideeyes]

My 4y/o even knows all the songs as they have been played so much on the Disney Channel, I've said she can watch it tonight. They have really been pushing it, they were even showing clips at the Disney Store last week.

It has been advertised on sky and Channle 3 almost everywhere I can't wait!

We've been waiting for this for weeks, ca't wait to sit down with DD to watch this, think I'm gonna like this as much as her

My two have been eagerly awaiting this for what seems like forever so glad it's finally showing

I just hope this is suitable for a 6yr old otherwise I could be in for a terrible weekend.
