I Was Wrong About Zac Efron - He's HOT!

Have you seen High School Musical 3?  I know, I know, a woman over thirty fi…I mean…TWENTY five, shouldn’t be able to answer “yes” to this question but I was suckered into the movie by my parents who insisted, “It’s the cutest show and these kids are great little dancers… they use all that fancy footwork you always like (uh?). And that Zac Efron is such a strong little singer – a voice like your father’s when we were in high school”. My parents were high school sweethearts and my father was the front man in one of those 50’s singing groups.

I swear, I was resisting (rolling my eyes and yawning as if I was too tired to see a movie) but then mom pulled out a classic grandma ploy – “He’s just like your nephew, Benjamin, with that crooked little smile and those shaggy bangs. I told Benjamin I’d watch it for him and I don’t know when we’ll have the chance again”.  It’s a known fact that my parents make outrageous claims about the greatness of teeny-bopper movies to keep us, their kids, GROWN WOMEN, from watching rated R movies but instead of pointing this out I decided to go with the flow and agree that we had to watch “High School Musical 3” to see if Zac Efron did in fact resemble my sister’s kid.

Side Note: We bustled into the Anderson South Carolina theater (Anderson is just over the state line from my parents farm house) 30 minutes early to beat the crowds…. when it was time for the movie to start we were still the only three people in the theater. The managers forgot we were there and didn’t start the movie until mom sent me to remind them.

So we watched the show and I’m thrilled to say that Zac Efron and my nephew Benjamin have nothing in common.  And I’m glad to say this because… ZAC EFRON IS HOT!!! It’s been forever since I’ve been swept away by a guy on the big screen and not only have I formed a distracting crush but this kid (who turned 21 a few days ago)  actually makes me want to go back to high school, the worst time in life! Ladies, Zac Efron has replaced Kevin Beacon in every category - dancing, singing, cute, fun, stupid looking friends he dances around with outside of class. I’m positive Zac would win a game of chicken on tractors. Wait, I just went on line and confirmed that Zac is playing Kevin’s part in a re-make of “Foot Loose” – OMG!

As I watched “HSM 3” I giggled, I blushed, I totally understood the part where Zac and the kid with all the hair dance around the junkyard … it’s all about friendship and has nothing to do with finding a radiator cap (go see the movie and you’ll understand). Within seconds of the opening scene I hated Vanessa (self-centered B-I-T-C-H!) and was so happy when she took off early for college orientation. That tramp left Zac behind… feeling burned by high school girls and yearning for the love of a mature woman?

“High School Musical 3” did for me what “Grease” did for… well, uh… me.  And now I can't wait to see the remake of "Footloose" next year! Wouldn't it be great if he re-made all the favorite movies?! "Dead Poet's Society", "Breakfast Club", "Weird Science"... Dillion McDermott's part in "Steel Magnolias"

I loved it and promise it’s a great show if you're looking for something to do with your girlfriends.

Let me know if you see it!

I VERY reluctantly went and saw this movie after both you and my friend said it was a worth seeing. I was the only person in the theater so I was a little worried that the workers would think I was some creepy teenager stalker type but I have to admit I liked it. I still think I would have fallen more for Zac's friend if I was back in high school but I can now see the appeal of Zac himself. Thanks for the suggestion.
