I didn't realize this is a musical. The fact it is actually makes it interesting and one I'll probably see. The little spin on the story I see from the trailer is also a nice touch.

I finally watched it last night, and unfortunately I can't share your enthusiasm, Todd. It started off well, and the choreography by (the other) Mandy Moore was excellent, but too many of the musical numbers seemed to just be thrown in to have musical numbers. But most of all, I got seriously distracted by all the obviously thirtysomething high school students. And all the guys' hair. What is the deal with that? They all look like they're wearing $5 costume wigs and mustaches. So much took me out of the fun the movie should have been.
