My sister LOVES the movie and LOVES the soundtract even more. Makes a wonderful gift for teens.

I bought this CD because of my daughters who saw this TV movie. I have to say all the songs (besides a couple cover-tunes) are not that good. A poor attempt to compete with Disney's High School Musical.

I use to be a big fan of HSM then after the second one they started getting stupid and the same plot line over and over. Then I saw Spectacular and it was amazing! I am 18yrs old and I love it, I love Nolan Gerard Funk's singing and acting. So much better than Zac Efron. For those people that say this is a copy cat of HSM is wrong. Better plot line and so so much better music! Just a all over better movie!

Bought this for my 5 year old son who could not wait for this Nick movie to come on and nearly knew all the words to the songs before the movie came out!!! He LOVES this cd and thinks I'm the worlds coolest Mom for getting it for him!

This movie tried to recreate the High School Musical success, but falls so short with songs that for the most part you can't remember even after repeated listening (with the exception of "Everything Can Change," which is the one decent tune). This is the edgy Nickelodeon-style high school, with the rebellious teen boy trying to do his own thing, only to learn that he can be himself while singing with show choir! A silly plot and really weak songs.

Parents of young children should even have some concerns about a couple of the wild-boy's tunes that appear to encourage rebellion. But if your kids are watching Spongebob or the Wolf Brothers or other Nick shows, you either already choose to accept that theme as entertainment or you are blind to the messages being preached by the MTV-sister network.

Most amusing are the last two tracks on the CD--the show choir versions of hits like "Eye of the Tiger." It was nice that they included them, but by including decent old hit songs it makes the new music written for this movie sound even worse. Namely, it's much less than spectacular.

I love the movie. I love the story and the music. Nolan Gerald Funk's singing was amazing with the cast. It was funny and I like the moral of the story. It teaches about changes and your dreams can come true when you take the opportunity to success whether you are young or older.

Finally, I can replace the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montanta CD's. Spectualar is in one word "FUN". I have been playing this in my car and all the kids are singing along!!! It makes driving to school at 7:30am more enjoyable. Thumbs up to Nickelodeon!!!!
