"Camp Rock" is more like "Camp Crude." I hoped it would channel some of the energy and zest of High School Musical, but it was HSM's weak, mean-spirited shadow and lacked the Disney touch. A few examples: When the heroine reveals that she lied by glamorizing her parents to fit in, she never apologizes to the group she's deceived, no one steps forward to reassure her that bucks and bling aren't what's really important, and her Mom doesn't mind at all that her daughter is blisteringly ashamed of their family. Kids repeatedly call each other "jerk." The bad girl is shallow and just plain mean, with none of the comic genius that Ashley Tisdale brought to the parallel role in HSM. The big dance numbers that played so well in HSM's expansive cafeteria and hallway scenes are here dampened by the confines of low-roofed camp mess halls, and there's not a song you'll be singing the next day.With so many better movies out there, this is one you don't need to own.
The music is cool, but they break into song too much. This movie made Demi Lovato singer\actress famous. I am a nine year old girl (eight at the time I watched it) and LOVED camp rock. The bad thing is it is kinda short, but I have soundtrack. It also stars Joe Jonas (played as Shane Grey). I absloutley LOVE the Jonas Brothers+Demi Lovato. No DVD though. *sigh*
How can I submit a review for something I never received. It is one month since I ordered the DVD. My CC was charged, I never received an email of explanation or offer of refund despite my emails to the seller.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT IS MY NEW FAVORITE.THE ACTORS ARE GREAT IN THIS MOVIE.BUY IT.
The Jonas Brothers and other Disney stars are everywhere you look these days. The music is similar to what you'd expect in "High School Musical". All in all, it's a delightful film. The film itself is typical for a DCOM movie. I'd highly recommend it to anybody who just wants a sweet family-friendly popcorn flick to pass an evening. But, it has a sort of charm that manages to make you smile after a long day. And if you missed the million-and-one showings of the movie on the Disney Channel, now's your chance to watch the movie. It's catchy and upbeat, and chances are you'll have at least one of the songs stuck in your head for a few days after the viewing.
The cast works well together, though there were some plot points that seemed overlooked, and others that they spent too much time going through. Apart from Joe, the rest of the Brothers don't have much of a part, and seem thrown in only as an afterthought. There isn't anything crude in it, and the lyrics are clean. :)
