Bandslam star Vanessa Hudgens said she is playing a "darker" character in her new film that people aren't used to seeing her play.

The 20-year-old, famous for her role as Gabriella in Disney film trilogy High School Musical, is playing the character of Sam in new film Bandslam and she said it's a different role than she's used to.

Asked about her character, Hudgens said: "Deadpan, introverted, kind of darker than people are used to seeing me as. Just wearing black the entire time - doesn't really have any friends."

She also spoke about how different the film is: "It's not your average teen movie, it's different. It has this 80s John Hughes vibe to it - it's very Breakfast Club-y - it has a great message and there's a lot of awesome music in it.

Teens plus music?! Sounds very High School Music-y to us!

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
