What would I do without my friend Danielle? Without her, I might have never heard about the Russian rip-off of High School Musical, First Love: It’s the Music!
The trailer’s fabulous…you gotta read the subtitles as you go along, even though they’re easy to miss in their tiny little boxes. “It’s easier for the horse to start when the woman gets off the cart.”
And no, it’s not just a random copy-cat…according to IMDB, it was co-written with Bill Borden, with plenty of High School Musical credits to his name. Idolator has more commentary for your reading pleasure.
Of course Russia needs its own high school musical! America does this all the time with British TV shows. It makes it sense if they can make it more culturally relevant.
That’s cheese at its finest. It’s especially funny given that Russian kids are soooo much more sophisticated than American kids at that age. First love. Bah!
