We had a lot of fun last night watching the long awaited HS Musical 2. The girls had eaten up all the millions of commercials run by the Disney Channel and were very excited about seeing it. Parents and I hoped that Disney did not give in to the culture and make the movie too adult in content.
We were all pleased by the movie. Time's review today used that no-no Hollywood word "chaste", but gave it a rave review anyway. It seems to me if Hollywood would just cut out the nastiness, potty language and wierd sex then they might have a huge success for their movies, too. A recent Time article lamented the demise of the romantic movie and the fact that attendance is dropping for those. Well, who wants to see Harry marry Frank? Or a woman get Knocked Up on the first date? Not me--I'll take the chaste Disney version any time as I remember the days of Casablanca, Dr. Zhivago, You've Got Mail, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and whoever.
Long live "chasteness" and good clean fun.
