Another High School Musical Wannabe - The American Mall From MTV



Just right on the heels of Camp Rock which was a poor replica of High School Musical, MTV has decided to ride the teen hormone wave by dumping in one of their own. The American Mall is set to air this Monday August 11, so all you teenie boppers out there get out the remote and TIVO in!

The typical stereotypes are here plus a little more hint of manipulation, disguised as a movie about dreams and hopes which all fall within the music industry. Get ready for a ride almost just like High School Musical (but not quite).

Obviously High School Musical must have struck a nerve - a potential million dollar industry nerve to have sparked so many followers. Well imitation is a form of flattery.

Starring Nina Dobrev of “Degrassi: The Next Generation” as the lead - Ally, Rob Mayes as the handsome mall janitor turned rock star, Joey; Autumn Reeser from the “The O.C.” stars as the resident bad girl (or Sharpay to analogize High School Musical).

So here's a sample trailer from The American Mall
