Camp (2003)

Nice effects though.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I remember first viewing this movie when it was playing on TV, when I was 11 or 12 years old, and loving the film at the time. Cut to present day, I bought the DVD and decided to watch it again. Such a pleasant and energetic experience.The story may be loose, but the young and attractive cast pull it together. Most of the actors were first-timers and they do a wonderful job. The music is incredible and catchy, its explosive soundtrack is amazing. Sure, the acting is sometimes over-the-top but the movie never gets dull or boring. As a whole, it has a lot of heart and anyone who was a teenager can relate to the characters easily. I remember having overnight camps events for youth group (more dances, less music) but it was eerily similar to the experiences and situations in this film.It's a shame not a lot of people saw this. Not even the most well-known critics reviewed it! If you hate musicals or teen dramas, you're NOT going to like this movie at all. However, if you like teen dramas with music and a lot of heart, then this is the movie for you!

I LoVe this movie i have DVR on my TV and i watch it almost every day !!!! all of them have amazing voices !!! and Vlad is so HoT !!!! he is FiNe !!!! i HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie if u like comedy, drama , and Romance !!!! Dee in the movie has a VERY POWERFUL voice !!!! fritz in her main singing play is beautiful and indescribable !!!! the " mean girl" Jill is so convincing and i want to hate her so much !!!! i had a party and i played this movie and everyone loved it !!!! i also really loved all the music in the movie!! Jenna is just a doll in the movie too and a little low key then she starts to blossoms LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

take your typical teen movie. add showtunes. take away any hint of talent outside of some pretty good belting voices. throw in stephen sondheim just so any theatre kid will feel compelled to see it and you have camp. this movie's plot is so feeble that it would be better off if it just showed the performance segments. the acting is painful to watch. really, as a theatre lover, i'm ashamed that so many of my peers relate to this. i wish people would realize that they're a lot better than this movie. it never really goes anyway. you never really bond with any of the characters and you're left at many moments thinking,"what was that all about??"just awful

"Camp" is a fantastic film with bright characters, beautiful songs and some great dance sequences. Certainly this is a very underrated musical, which will hopefully one day get more recognition. The film focuses on the teens at a Summer Camp where they perform musicals and deal with the usual teenage issues. The singing is great from most of the cast, the acting is a little less so, but the energy of the film makes up for that.Daniel Letterle plays hottie Vlad, Joanna Chilcoat plays the nice girl Ellen, and Robin de Jesus is the main gay boy Michael. The get the bulk of the screen time, and are all very good, but by no means are they the best singers, and the other characters are at times, more interesting to watch. Without a doubt, Sasha Allen (Dee) is the best singer, hopefully she will release an album one day. Tiffany Taylor (Jenna) is also excellent in the singing department. Alana Allen brings a touch of elegance to the film as snobby Jill, and Anna Kendrick is fantastic as the obsessed Fritzi. Vince Rimoldi doesn't get nearly enough screen time as Spitzer, and it's a shame we don't get to hear him sing more. Same goes for Julie Kleiner in her small role as Lisa. Don Dixon does a good job of playing the unlikeable Bert.The songs are funky and interesting, particularly the opening number "How shall I see you through my tears?", "Century Plant", "Here's where I stand", the fabulous "Turkey Lurkey Time" and closing number "For the want of a nail". The only problem I have with the film really is that it should have spent a bit more time on some of the other characters. Other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable film.
