Review:

I sure hope teen kids know who these people are, because I certainly don't and I doubt very many others will either, which might have easily depressed the turnout the film would receive if it weren't for the pimping the film is receiving from Disney hoping to have their next High School Musical success at the box office.

Maybe the film's title has changed...or the producers thought it would sell more tickets to avoid the title Bandslam, but this poster is boring, trite and unappealing.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Looking like your typical Disney High School Musical rip-off, Bandslam doesn't appear to be terribly interesting, but doesn't look as stilted as HSM.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
