Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

brandonshedder **WARNING FOR ALL WHO LITERALLY DON'T CARE (CUZ NO ONE WILL) THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS**Back in the year of 2008, there was a DCOM coming out called "Camp Rock." At first, it sounded like one of the best ideas the Disney company had ever had. It featured a new up and coming star, Demi Lovato, who is now a major name in pop music, as well as the popular Jonas Brothers, two of which are still successful to this day. It looked to feature a lot of music, some comedy, and drama, all made for tweens in the 2000s. It all seemed like a great idea, a musical dream for kids to enjoy all across the globe. Yeah, that didn't happen. *Record scratch* This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. As a 7-year-old girl who loved the Jonas Brothers, I was excited beyond belief for this movie. And I freaking loved it. I rewatched this "film" a couple of days ago after years of having not seen it and literally laughed my way through the entire thing it was so awful. The movie has three MAJOR issues that are consistent through all of the film. One problem is that just about every single person in the movie is a god awful actor. Like, they cannot act for sh*t. At all. I understand this is a kids movie and usually people don't act as well as in a movie made for adults, but wow are there "performances" immeasurably horrendous. Demi Lovato had barely any acting experience to my knowledge, and Jesus H Christ is it obvious. The Jonas Brothers are actually worse than her. Kevin Jonas plays a complete imbecile in this who has a bird house obsession, because I can guarantee you the writers sat down and said, "you know what kids like these days? Random things! LOL XD RANDOM! What's a random thing the third wheel of the Jonas Brothers can be obsessed with? BIRD HOUSES! PERFECT!" The three of them are undeniably the worst part of this movie. My favorite quote from Joe Jonas or "Shane Gray" is "I'm not wasting my entire summer at some CAMP!" I laughed so hard I almost puked. Whine, whine, whine. That's all Joe Jonas does in this movie. As mentioned, Kevin is stupid and Nick attempts to be the wiser, more humble of the three, but he's just bland and obnoxious. Hmm, maybe it wasn't a good idea to cast three people who are "musicians" and have had zero acting experience in a DCOM. Money grab? You bet your f*cking ass it was. The second problem this film has is the script. Here's a good example of what the script is like. Have you ever seen the movie "The Last Airbender?" If not, it's an atrocious adaptation of an animated kids show that featured unrealistic, ridiculous dialogue and nonsensical plot lines. Camp Rock has an M. Night Shamalamadingdong scent to it that makes me want to vomit and take a dump in my neighbors backyard. Or side yard. Every scene is cheesy, awkwardly written, and full of cringe worthy dialogue that never deserved to ever see the light of day. There are sometimes very quick moments that happen that don't further the characters and are lazily written. For instance, there's a scene where Allison Stoner's character, who plays a camper, tells Mitchie, Demi Lovato's character, and I quote, "check me out!" She then hits some random keys on a laptop which produces an awful array of beeping sounds, to which Mitchie replies, "COOL!" What the literal f*ck? The moments like this in the script are what killed a good part of what this movie could have been. But enough of that, onto the third major issue. THE SONGS. They are horrible as well as the awkward, horribly choreographed dancing.. F*cking terrible. I was unfortunately obsessed with "This is Me" by Demi Lovato as a kid and definitely regret liking it. The lyrics, although reflective and somewhat meaningful, are stupid and simplistic at times. They treat the kids that are listening like complete idiots in regards of the incredibly simple lyrics and are annoyingly catchy, so you'll probably have them worming their way into your head on repeat for about ten years after viewing this pile of filth and Disney decay. I counted, and there are literally no songs in this movie that are worthy of any recognition. Wow are they horrid. THIS SUCKS. DO NOT SEE IT. JUST NO. I could see it being okay for younger kids. Maybe ages 1- 10, but please do not subject yourself to such terror and torture if you're above that age. The movie must have done at least well enough with its audience, because a sequel was released two years later called "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" which was literally only 1% better than its predecessor. Just no.

Kobe Busia I see that several people have bashed this movie with all these reviews, and even though Camp Rock Came out 3 years ago, I'm still gonna critique it and give my honest opinion. I thought this movie was fun to watch, it was definitely more likable and realistic than HSM, but at the same time, I find it very predictable, and meaningless for multiple reasons. For example, it does use the same type of characters such as the shy, new girl, heartthrob dude who's a jerk, mean blonde girl who leads a clique, etc, and you don't even have to say anything out loud to be able to figure out what's gonna happen later in the movie, you just know. As far as the music, I found some great variety and I like how a lot of the actors were given some solo songs but my favorite song would have to be Joe Jonas's Gotta Find You because it's very heartfelt and memorable. With the exception of Too Cool, I enjoyed every song on the soundtrack. The acting wasn't such a problem, seeing as Joe did great at being a jerk, although his character Shane Gray reminded me of Jordan Cahill from Stuck In The Suburbs in the sense that they both want to be able to have creative control over their music, and Demi Lovato was great, especially since this film was her big break. However, I wish the other characters such as Barron(Jordan Francis) and Sander(Roshon Fegan) were given personal story lines and more time to develop, though I do praise their talent. A problem I have with this movie is its message; It is predictable and boring, and it seems that the filmmakers were too focused on the "Entertainment Factor" that they didn't spend enough time on the movie's core message. While the concept of the movie revolves around rock, the soundtrack doesn't exactly stay true to that because there's hip-hop, pop, and R&B, involved, the music is still enjoyable. I will say that the Jonas Brothers in general are not meant to be actors, especially not Nick. If you thought this film sucked, try watching its disastrous sequel, and you'll get an idea of what bad movies are like. All in All, Camp Rock is a pretty fun movie, but as far as teaching an important lesson, it's very cliché and not very substantial. 7.5/10

kringkring92 I disagree with the bad reviewers for this movie? This movie was sweet and innocent.I really liked the character development in the characters that occurs throughout the story. I especially loved Shane and Mitchie's song. I also enjoyed the dancing and singing people did in the camp. I think people have actual talent in this movie to dance and sing. The story had me interested through the end and Im not even a fan of Disney channel movies that much.Demi Lovato might not be the best actress but she sure is decent. I also enjoyed the comic relief provided by Kevin Jonas and the bitter Joe Jonas in the beginning of the movie who starts to develop.Im not saying this movie deserves and Oscar award but it is an enjoyable movie to watch :) Come on, it has Comedy,Drama,Action,and sweet pure romance. What else can you want from a Disney movie? :)

martinsteph79 My children and I were lucky enough to see this movie a little early due to the fact that it was on Disney On Demand. Good entertaining movie for the family. I gave it 4 stars, because I thought it was a little short and could have used a little more substance to the story. It seemed to have just raced through to the end. I don't want to ruin the story for everyone, but the music was good and there were some cute parts. Flour in the face, slipping on the floor and the poor brother with his birdhouse obsession. I was disappointed that the other Jonas brothers weren't part of the main story, but rather made cameo appearances. Mitchie and Shane were really cute together and I am glad she put him in his place, because he started out as a real jerk. I loved their duet together at the end where they put their two different songs together and made it flow as one. The end was surpising to my children because the person who won the contest was not who they thought it would be. All in all the kids loved the music and really enjoyed the movie and already they have watched it over and over. We will definitely be getting the DVD when it comes out.
