These are standard youth-movie dilemmas, but they're brought to life by the high-energy cast and the musical numbers, which Ortega shoots with electrifying pizzazz.

For those scoring at home, the third entry in the "High School Musical" series is better than the second but doesn't quite sustain the unvarnished, giddy highs of the first.
Even if the refreshing gust doesn't stay with you long, it's fun while it lasts.
A candy-colored never-never land that Peter Pan might envy.
While Ortega and fellow choreographers Charles Klapow and Bonnie Story stretch their imaginations, there's something almost lazy about the picture's underachiever script.
The result unfortunately has the blandness of a mediocre TV sitcom.
