HS Musical this ain't. They may have mislead people with their poster, especially so close to the release of HSM3, but these are choir gowns, not graduation. And this is a church choir, not a HS choir.
It's mediocre, but not nearly so bad as the IMDb rating. The singing and dancing are not up to Disney standards, but they do dance a bit as part of their performance, and what they do is fairly acrobatic (jackknife, strenuous street moves). Unfortunately, that doesn't occupy much of the screen time.
The story is slow, the stars don't make me care about them, or even want to watch them.
But I'd rather see this than a violent rapper film. I just don't need to see it again.
