Summary: Cute flick
Review: I don't think Camp was half as bad as other reviewers have made it out to be. The cast is made of aspiring actors playing aspiring actors.....what could be more appropriate? Granted their acting skills aren't polished. But they are portraying actors in musical theater.....their voices are what matters. And I have to say everyone in the film had fantastic singing voices. I am glad Camp wasn't cast with young pop stars turned actors (Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, the Olsen Twins, Bow Wow). This cast, imperfections and all, was truer to the form. Even if you don't appreciate musical theater, the theme of kids growing up and trying to find their place in the world is a key part of this movie. What I appreciate most about Camp is how it portrays teens as having aspirations and goals in life. It's not one of those teen-exploitation films where teenagers are portrayed as being pot smoking, sex-obsessed, and souless (i.e. American Pie). We need more films that challenge teens, without being ridiculousely wholesome. Camp has achieved that.

Summary: GREAT!
Review: I think that this movie was GREAT!!! It was a very heartfelt movie that was also very funny. It definitely lived up to my expectations!!! The singing was awesome and it made me wanna try out for my next school musical!!! And about the acting in this movie... it was actually pretty good, I mean what do you expect? It was an independent film!! Anyways I've seen worse acting (AKA-Gigli) I think that you have to have a certain taste in movies to enjoy this movie and if you are thinking of buying it then I would suggest that you see it first before buying it. Stop by my house, I already own a copy!! PARTY!!<br /> ENJOY- As I know you will!! BOOYAH!!!

Summary: Masochistic and wrong
Review: Most of the movie is okay, even enjoyable. However I have to give it one star because I am so disgusted with the moral, which seems to be: It's better to be in a relationship with someone who has no respect for you, no intention of being faithful, and will dump you the second someone prettier comes along than it is to be by yourself.
That's sick and it infuriates me, so I cannot have fond memories of this movie. Save your time.

Summary: No lip-synching here. These are real performers.
Review: The storyline in Camp is something you and I could write on the back of an envelope. The acting, at times, borders on amateurish. Yet, I'm going to recommend this film to you. Why? The singing performances of these young actors are quite astonishingly breathtaking.
Most notably there's the opener, "How Shall I See You Through My Tears," recorded (you find out in the extras) in the late, late evening in some bonechilling cold. The DVD also contains a version of the song done by the cast at the premiere. No lip-synching here. These are real performers.
Also good are "Here's Where I Stand" (very emotional and well-staged...you see the performer and the reaction of her hard-to-please Dad in the audience) and the rousing cast ensemble piece "Want of a Nail."
There's also a short piece from 'Dreamgirls' that is too funny to describe here. Let's just say the man in the scene has a little growing up to do.
For anyone who enjoys Broadway, 'Camp' is well worth your money.

Summary: worst movie of the year
Review: When I saw this movie at blockbuster, i was soooooo excited. I thought that finally there was a movie out that didn't stereo-type the "drama kids" for once! MAN WAS I WRONG!!!!!! I'm in the drama club at my school and quite a few of my friends in that group are guys, and i'm telling you now...they go through a whole lot of sh*t from the other guys in school because of the stereo-type. If anyone in my school (especially the jack*** guys) were to get hold of this movie, my friends would never hear the end of it. "Fritzy," or whatever her name was, would cause us girls quite a bit of trouble too. A lot of people at school like to take the title "Thesbian" and change it around a little bit as it is, and "fritzy" would just enhance that rumor.
Another one thing that i didn't like was that this movie was supposed to be about a group of teens putting on shows, but did they ever show any of the work that actually goes into them before opening night. NO!!!!! Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen did a better job of it than this movie, and that movie didn't do a great job either! I wouldn't reccomend this movie to anyone. The only plus to CAMP was that the songs weren't too too bad (and they had Stephen Sondheim in it) but other than that, it was absolutely appalling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Good movie with awful actors
Review: On the recommendation of a buddy I watched this movie called Camp. While it is different than your everyday comedy, it also does hit the masses. I personally am in Theater Technology, but can see the appeal to anyone who knows good music and comedy. I will say one thing's for sure, the actors are terrible at acting. After watching my crappy actors for many hours I can say this qualifies as crap if you critique acting. The cast is young and relatively unknown which shows what a low budget film this was. But remember sometimes it's that crappy acting and low budget that makes you laugh (cheap Japanese movie anyone?). It is evident that these kids were recruited though for their musical ability, which is absolutely amazing to say the least. Also make sure to check out the DVD extras for some great deleted scenes. So, overall, crappy acting, great music and story, but where are the techies?

Summary: Bedazzaling!
Review: I thought this movie was great, especially for teenagers and youth who enjoy musical theater. And considering I am fifteen and I've been involved musical theater since I was three. This is a perfect film to by as a gift for your nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, whoever!

Summary: Shame on Todd Graff
Review: There is much in this film deserving of a higher rating than 2 stars. The scenes from Broadway musicals performed by the young cast are tremendous. There are some good comic and serious moments. And unlike some other reviewers, I find Daniel Letterle a real star in the making. I cannot fault his acting; for me he created a charming, occasionally caddish, believable character. The camera loves him. I couldn't take my eyes off him! But...I give ZERO stars to openly gay writer-director Todd Graff for having fashioned a story (set in a camp which, as the film itself states, is whose male participants are almost exclusively gay) about the one straight boy, his hetero romance and other shenanigans with various female campers, and one poor sad unattractive cross-dressing gay boy's crush on him. Where is the story of the gay campers? Weren't there any boy-boy romances at the camp? Of course there were, and including at least one of them would have made the film more of a real picture of what camp life was like. In the end, I feel that Todd Graff disrespected himself as a gay man, the gay teenage boys who attend this type of summer camp, and his gay audience, of which I am a part.
