59 songs in the Soundtracks.

Very good singing, esp. harmonies, but the story and the acting feel more H.S. than college. But then again, some characters are freshmen.

Although choreographers were needed, it's not the level of dancing that interests me. But it's certainly more challenging for them, and more interesting for us, that the singers do non-trivial movement.

The IMDb ratings on the sequels drop a half point per film. We'll see. I want to see what happens in the next one.

No idea why the poster should be so desaturated; the film certainly is not.

Skipped the 2nd c.track, mostly because I just wanted to move on.

Rated 7.2 (252,433)
