holy fucking mother of god fucking motherfucker I fucking hate and I mean fucking hate the fucking movie HSM 3. I will fucking open fire in the theatre if I ever see any one of those goddamn mother fuckers in any other movie in my entire fucking lifetime.

So you’re saying you DON’T like the movie?
October 26th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I’m so glad my girls aren’t into it. Last year the first one was on and I sat with my then 7 year old to see if she was interested. She turned to me and said, “Mom, this would be so much better if it were a cartoon!” Then she got up and went off to play. I am truly blessed.
October 26th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
So what is this movie?
October 26th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
bwaaahahahahahahaa…
they will have to gouge out my eyes and plug my ears with wax to get me into the theater for THAT particular torture.
October 26th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Ok, I admit I had to go google HSM3 to know what on earth you were talking about(Cheryl it’s High School Musical 3, well I’m assuming that’s what it is.)
Haven’t seen any of them, warning well taken.
October 26th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
It helps if you’re reading my Twitter. (Streaming Vinaigrettes, sidebar.)
It’s High School Musical 3.
October 26th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
ah, the joys of having boykids. hannah montana, hsm, et al aren’t even on our radar. much sympathy & cocktails to y’all.
October 26th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I haven’t seen it… however, I’m sure I will soon as my daughter LOVES HSM!
October 26th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I agree with Karin. LOL
October 26th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
It wasn’t that bad…sorta not too awful, maybe.
I liked the music and dancing but it was really hard to not laugh at the serious teenage angst Troy was trying to exhibit with those facial expressions…puuulllleeeeaaaasse. And what was with the coach’s hair, eeewww!
October 26th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I haven’t seen any of the HSM movies so far, or any of the trailers for that matter, so I had to see what this was all about. Went to the official website for HSM3, watched the preview, and all I can say is …. BARF.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Ok … Liz asked me if she could blog my email and I thought she was kidding so I of course said yes (with a smiley face after it meaning I was kidding too!) and then I looked at the blog just now and oh dear god there is my potty mouth for the world to see. Please accept my sincerest apology to everyone I’ve offended (especially the grandmothers!!!). And if you must send nastygrams address them to Liz!!!
October 26th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Oh. Karin. Sweetheart. How could you possibly think I was kidding about that? This e-mail was GENUIS! It was too good to sit lonely in an inbox, viewed only by the three of us. Really it was one of the more well-articulated reviews of HSM3 I’ve seen.
We owed it to the world. Really. We did.
October 26th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
but karin, what do you really mean?
October 26th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Hmmm…Karin is ambivalent again I see.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
(We’re all still wondering where the hell Annie-Boo get it all from, you know?)
October 26th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
It stunk, it was boring and vapid. What a waste of a beautiful afternoon and 20 damn dollars. Lemon(7) said”I am going to tell you the truth Mom, I hated it and it made no sense at all. Only one song was good. I will pretend I liked it when the girls at school ask, because it is easier that way.”
“I saw you sleeping, during it Mom.”
October 26th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Oh, wow, I feel for you. I have a neice who loves HSM, and my sis-in-law shares Karin’s opinion (and her use of the f-bomb). I’m so fortunate to have boychildren. When they’re in my hair, I break into song, singing that Just Mylie song, and they run away screaming…
October 27th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Karin, Tell us how you REALLY feel.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:29 am
I gather you did not like it but was the vocabular necessary. Am a new reader of your blog but am wondering?
October 27th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Thanks for the warning. IF my eleven year old son would love to see it… he will go alone. Without me that is. He has done that before with other horrible (=boring) movies……. I am so happy he is eleven and not afraid to go alone!
October 27th, 2008 at 7:45 am
that is the best thing I’ve read in a while and it REALLY made my day
October 27th, 2008 at 7:55 am
You didn’t offend this grandma
I have never seen HSM. The promos are enough to keep me away.
October 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Karin, I feel badly that you are not a little more capable of expressing yourself. Holding in all that emotion is going to give you an ulcer.
October 27th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
That’s why you bring a little extra cocktail for your diet coke. HSM3 is a lot more fun if you have an adult beverage. Then you can snicker and make snarky predictions like, “I feel a song coming on” or “Cue the montage”!
October 27th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
My kids have no idea about HSM3 or Hannah Montana. I’m hoping all videos, movies, tv shows and merchandise will burst into hell’s fiery flames before Isabella reaches that magical age of 6. That’s the age I’ve given her that crap like that is available for her viewing. Surely Miley will be pregnant or crazy like Britney by then…right? And this was HSM3 SENIOR year. Right? No 90210-ish repeats. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?
October 27th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I like to read during the day sometimes, while my kids are about and I really don’t want my older ones who can read to see that kind of language.
I know, your site, so I can stop reading (I know the drill “if you don’t like it don’t come back”).
I adore your writing, and leaving will be sad. I just don’t like to support sites during my “discretionary” time that use that language.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Sigh, I never understand why people have to slap another grownups wrist. Like scolding a child. It isn’t as if this blog is full of bad words on a daily basis. It made me laugh, because she was saying exactly what I was thinking. We are grown ups and we should be able to let loose every once in awhile.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Brilliant review of the movie. Fabulous.
Thank God my 6 YO is a BOY, I’ll take non stop football any day over that tripe… And I’m fightin the hard fight to keep my 3YO girl off this particular tripe wagon.
October 27th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
I just have to laugh at people who come to your blog and then criticize the language used here.
You and Karin both crack me up with this HSM thing.
October 27th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
classic. karin are you australian? my aussie friend uses the f word as often as i use the words, i, the and a. ha ha. sometimes it just needs to be said, and in the case of hsm3, i think you maybe should have added a few more. i dread the day we hit this stage!
October 27th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Atta Girl Karin! Thats what the review should have said! Thank g-d my kids are into trains!!! Might I recommend chocolate, blindfold and ipod g-d forbid there is a HSM 4?
October 27th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Gee, tell us how you really feel..
October 28th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I’d advise a switch to decaf, but the HSM commercials, alone, elicit a similar reaction, here…
October 28th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Hoping someone knows the answer to this burning question: with the popularity of HSM, is it now cool (or at least socially acceptable) to be in drama club? I spent my childhood as the ostracized theater geek, and I’m finding it hard to believe that suddenly musical theater is cool.
October 28th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I’m also finding it hard to believe that musical theater is cool. Never seen HSM. Thankfully, I have boys.

If I go see this movie I want Karin and Ren to be there with me…so I’m not the only one using profanity and shouting at the screen.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Thank you for the laught, I needed that. Would probably like the movie, but then again have been knowed to be Weird in my choices (as hubby would confirm). Now however, if ever I see that movie, I will spend it imagening Karin next to me, foul mouth and all. People will wonder why I giggle alone….
October 29th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Loved the review! Could not agree more! By the way, the f bomb slips quite a bit in my house. Even when I am trying hard to set a good example for my 10 month old who will be repeating me soon! So I am not offended in the least. Keep the hilarity coming!
