Camp would be a very very good movie, if of course, it were made by high school students. Camp is a good idea and it should have just remained a good idea. The film is about many different people from many different backgrounds (they're mostly misfits) that go to an acting camp and find answers to life, love, and that good old stuff with song! Yes, it's a semi-musical. Now this is the reason it looked and sounded like a high school film with an $100 or so budget: the actors. I'm sorry, was the casting director stoned? The blonde stuck up girl looks mentally retarded, Vlad (the hunky straight guy which the story revolves around) has a high voice and acts very, very gay, and Ellen (the other character that the story revolves around) is just a little too frumpy and unattractive to get Vlad...wait...any guy. If I'm sounding mean here, it's because this movie stretches the points of believibility. The script reads like Fame with pine trees. Still, there are some good parts, notably the Rent-esquire opening credits, but it's an acting camp that the film takes place at, and half of the kids in this need acting lessons.

OK, I admit my age, 26 years ago there was this great movie called FAME and I was 26 when I saw it then. This movie tugs at the same feelings and stages the same kind of young talent that FAME did all those years ago.If you watch FAME closely you will recognize some faces who went on to make a living in Hollywood. No easy feat. "Do you really think that you are prettier than five million people?" Guess what dad, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there is more than one kind of beauty. These young people are good, full of hope and promises of FAME to come. This one is better than FAME and that says mountains. Watch it and wish them all greatness and even better, happiness.

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

I saw the movie Camp for the first time a few days ago and it has to be one of the greatest films ever. All of the cast were amazing. I think the directors should make a 2nd part to it. Whatever happened to Daniel Letterle and the others that played in the movie? I haven't seen any of them in other movies. How old is Daniel anyways? Well all I have to say is that they are all wonderful actors/actresses and I hope to see some of them in more upcoming films. This film like I said before is one of the best films I have seen about a camp for those who want something in life and believe they can really do it. I think that everyone should watch this movie because it will show you that you can do anything if you believe in yourself.I have watched it like a million times well not really a million but enough to know that I would recommend it to everyone who hasn't saw it. Trust those of you who haven't saw it should go rent it or buy it. I'm definitely gonna buy it and watch it over and over again because it won't become boring or worn out.
