A new kid in town assembles a fledgling rock band — together, they achieve their dreams and compete against the best in the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Dissmissing this movie as being cliched and predictable would be a little to easy. Especially considering that most High School never really bring anything special to the table. Bandslam at least in part seems to be one of those movies that prove to be an exception to the rule, mainly in part due to the Movie’s soundtrack. The role of Sa5m seemed to be an easy choice for Vanessa Hudgens I would be curious to see her performance in a movie that didn’t require her to sing.
Though putting wanting to see Vanessa Hudgens in a role that does not require her to sing, I thoroughly enjoyed the band’s final performance.
