BREAKING THE RULE

I have these movie rules: no sequels, no film of a book I have read, (and no book of a film I have seen) and no remakes.

Every once in a while I have to test a rule or try to find an exception.

Exceptions are rare.

Take today. I tried out the sequel rule.

I tried to stay with High School Musical 2.

We enjoyed the first one. It was not great art but we enjoyed its spirit and its old fashioned musical verve.

The sequel is painful.

A great opening with a leaden plot.

We left it at about half way.

I won't bother you with any more comments.

We had fun for awhile and I will give it a 2 out of Netflix5 for the spirited opening.
