Der Film wurde am 17. August 2007 auf dem [[Vereinigte Staaten|amerikanischen]] [[Disney Channel]] erstausgestrahlt und stellte mit 17,24 Millionen Zuschauern&amp;nbsp;– 10&amp;nbsp;Millionen mehr als beim Vorgänger&amp;nbsp;– einen neuen Zuschauerrekord im US-amerikanischen Kabelfernsehen auf.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117970479.html?categoryid=14&amp;cs=1 „'High School Musical 2' aces test“] – Variety, 18. August 2007.&lt;/ref&gt; Die deutsche Erstausstrahlung des Films erfolgte am 22. September 2007. Durch den riesigen Erfolg, der ersten zwei Teile, drehte Disney im Jahre 2008 den dritten Teil.<br /> <br /> == Handlung ==<br /> <br /> Adam bekommt einen Job im Country Club von Lava Springs, der Sharpays Eltern gehört, angeboten und schafft es, auch seinen Freunden und den Wildcats dort Jobs als Rettungsschwimmer, als Caddies oder auch als Köche zu besorgen. Sharpay, die bereits einen Auftritt mit Troy bei der jährlichen Talentshow im Club plant, ist nicht begeistert, als alle Wildcats auftauchen. Entmutigen lässt sie sich dennoch nicht und verschafft hinterrücks dem eigentlich widerwilligen Troy immer wieder gute Jobs. So findet er nur noch selten die Möglichkeit, sich mit Gabriella zu treffen und verspätet sich dann sogar, da Sharpays Eltern, die von dem sportlichen Jungen angetan sind, ihn, und vor allem Sharpay, in Beschlag nehmen. Sie überredet ihn auch zu einem gemeinsamen Auftritt beim Talentwettbewerb. Ryan aber merkt nun, dass Sharpay ihn immer nur benutzt hat und zieht sich zurück. Und Troy streitet mit seinen Freunden, die ihm sagen, dass er nicht mehr derselbe sei und sich verändert habe. Gabriella bestätigt dies. Bei einem Baseball-Spiel der Angestellten des Clubs, bei dem Ryan mit einem Team gegen ein Team von Chad spielt, freundet er sich dann allmählich mit den Wildcats und auch mit Gabriella an, die Mitleid mit ihm hat und ihn sympathisch findet. Troy jedoch wird eifersüchtig, als er Ryan und Gabriella am Pool tanzen sieht. Die ganze Situation eskaliert, als Gabriella und den anderen auf Sharpays Befehl hin verboten wird, an der Talentshow teilzunehmen und stattdessen alle arbeiten sollen. Gabriella stellt Sharpay daraufhin zur Rede und die beiden kommen auch auf Troy zu sprechen. Gabriella sagt, dass sie keine Lust auf dieses Spiel habe und dass sie kündige. Wütend braust Sharpay mit ihren ''Girls'' ab und Troy, der das Gespräch verfolgt hat, geht zu Gabriella, die dieses Theater aber nicht mehr will. Nach einer kurzen Unterhaltung über die Situation singt Gabriella ''Gotta Go My Own Way'' (dt.: Ich muss meinen eigenen Weg gehen). Danach verlässt sie den Club und sie „geht ihren eigenen Weg“. Niedergeschlagen wird Troy bewusst, wie sehr er sich tatsächlich verändert hat, und er will sich bessern. So sagt er der aufgebrachten Sharpay den gemeinsamen Auftritt ab. Danach versöhnt er sich mit seinen Freunden und Ryan. Ryan überredet ihn dann, doch mit Sharpay zu singen. Das geplante Lied ''Everyday'' muss Troy allerdings erst noch lernen. Überraschenderweise hat Sharpay dieses Lied aber auch nicht einstudiert, sondern sich stattdessen auf ''You are the Music in me'' (die Alternative, die eigentlich für Troy und Gabriella bestimmt war) vorbereitet. Letztendlich muss Troy allein auftreten. Am Klavier von Kelsi begleitet, stimmt er das Lied an und plötzlich ertönt auch die Stimme von Gabriella, die hinter seinen Freunden auftaucht. Beide versöhnen sich und singen gemeinsam (Everyday), während auch die Wildcats ihr Debüt geben. Obwohl der Auftritt ein voller Erfolg war, gewinnt Ryan, der auch umjubelt wird, den Contest. Als alle auf dem Golfplatz feiern, küssen sich endlich Gabriella und Troy, die die ganze Zeit über immer wieder daran gehindert wurden. Der Film endet am Pool, wo alle Charaktere gemeinsam ''All For One'' aufführen.<br /> Hitler hat [[Amy Winehouse]] einen [[Cameo-Auftritt]].<br /> <br /> == Verweise ==<br /> * Sharpays egoistische Meinung zum letzten Jahr<br /> * Adams Probleme beim Singen<br /> * Sharpays Arroganz<br /> * Troys Liebe zu Gabriella<br /> <br /> == [[Synchronisation (Film)|Synchronisation]] ==<br /> <br /> Die deutsche Synchronisation des Films übernahmen wieder die ''FFS Studios'' in [[München]]. Außer das die Stimme von ''Gabriella Montez'' ab dem zweiten Teil ''Marieke Oeffinger'' Stimme bekommt und nicht mehr die von [[Leoni Kristin Oeffinger]] blieb alles gleich.<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |----- style=&quot;color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#006699&quot;<br /> !

Sie ist am Ende des Films eine der Tänzerinnen am Pool. Insgesamt wurden 24 Millionen Stimmen gezählt.

Thinking about The Game constitutes a loss, which, according to the rules of The Game, must then be announced. The Game is continuous, and once a player stops thinking about The Game, the player stops losing. However, while (at any given time) one can ''be winning'' The Game (by not thinking about it), one can never ''actually win'' The Game (Catch 22[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic)])(subject to certain variations of the rules being used - see below).{{Fact|date=March 2009}}<br /> <br /> As of 2008, The Game is played by millions worldwide.&lt;ref name=&quot;metro&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?If_you_read_this_youve_lost_The_Game&amp;in_article_id=430703&amp;in_page_id=34|title=If you read this you have lost the game|work=The Metro|date=2008-12-05}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;canpress&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;nebraskan&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://media.www.dailynebraskan.com/media/storage/paper857/news/2007/03/19/ArtsEntertainment/Mind-Game.Enlivens.Students.Across.U.s-2779474.shtml|title=Mind game enlivens students across U.S.|work=The Daily Nebraskan|first=Andy|last=Boyle|date=2007-03-19}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;demorgen&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;depers&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Rules ==<br /> There are three main rules to The Game:<br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;metro&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?If_you_read_this_youve_lost_The_Game&amp;in_article_id=430703&amp;in_page_id=34|title=If you read this you have lost the game|work=The Metro|date=2008-12-05}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=canpress&gt;{{cite news|url=http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/health-fitness/articles/fitness/cp/home_family-teens_around_the_world_are_playing_the_game_-_if_you_think_about_it_you_lose|url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080117/thegame_youlose_080117|title=Teens around the world are playing 'the game'|work=[[The Canadian Press]]|date=2008-01-17|first=Shannon|last=Montgomery}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;The Rules&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Three_rules_of_The_Game&amp;in_article_id=430704&amp;in_page_id=34|title=The three rules of the game|work=The Metro|date=2008-12-05}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=rutland&gt;{{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MCNP&amp;p_multi=RHDB&amp;p_theme=mcnp&amp;p_action=search&amp;p_maxdocs=200&amp;p_topdoc=1&amp;p_text_direct-0=11C0ED30E5F12A50&amp;p_field_direct-0=document_id&amp;p_perpage=10&amp;p_sort=YMD_date:D&amp;s_trackval=GooglePM|title=Don't think about the game|work=[[Rutland Herald]]|date=2007-10-03|format=Subscription required}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=dailyglobe&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.dglobe.com/articles/index.cfm?id=12028&amp;section=Opinion&amp;freebie_check&amp;CFID=44302018&amp;CFTOKEN=70154493&amp;jsessionid=8830ec90e35e58254a5e|title=Playing 'The Game' with the other kids|work=[[Daily Globe (Worthington)]]|first=Justine|last=Wettschreck|date=2008-05-31|format=Subscription required}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> # No-one plays the game execpt gay people.
