Camp Rock is a Disney Channel original movie about a rockin' teen summer camp that's highly appealing to tweenies and young teens despite the movie's failure to favourably compare with truly great Disney Channel movies like High School Musical. Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers stars as Shane Gray, a member of the rock band Connect 3, who is compelled to serve as an instructor at Camp Rock in order to counteract his increasingly negative public image. Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin) is the camp diva whose self-absorption defies description, Caitlyn (Alyson Stoner) is a past Tess groupie who's now ostracised from the popular kids at camp, and Mitchie (Demi Lovato) is a camp newcomer whose mother is the camp cook. Caitlyn initially befriends Mitchie, but the friendship wanes when Mitchie makes up an elaborate story about her family to get accepted into Tess's exclusive clique. As Mitchie struggles to maintain her façade around camp, Shane begins to reform his bad-boy ways and find his own personal voice and he and Mitchie become friends--unfortunately, their new relationship is based partially on Mitchie's lies. In the end, Mitchie's deception is exposed as is Tess' true villainy and the perfect summer camp experience threatens to turn into the worst summer ever for everyone involved. Camp Rock is infused with lots of energy, fun choreography, and a ton of good, if not particularly memorable, music. Add in the cast of generally unlikable characters with extreme characteristics whose changes of heart at the end of the film are not particularly believable, and Disney's got an entertaining film for tweenies and teens that adults might just as well skip. --Tami Horiuchi

For The Tweens With HSM Withdrawl Symptoms, Here's A New Franchise To Obsess Over,
By Claire Frances (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camp Rock [DVD] (DVD)
'Camp Rock' is what I would describe as a good substitute for the finished series of the 'High School Musical' films.
It ticks all the typical Disney movie boxes; shy, unpopular leading lady, hot crush (Joe Jonas), nasty blonde rich girl & a good ol' moral at the end. 'Camp Rock' is better than 'High School Musical 2' but not better than 1 & 3. I don't think there's a mere chance of any Disney musical having a hit bigger than 'Breaking Free' but 'Camp Rock' does have a few catchy tunes, the best being 'This Is Me' sung by Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas. Ah, the Jonas Brothers. Three pop-rock virgins with a loyal tween fan base, teamed with Disney, a match made in heaven. The middle Jonas (Joe)has the most air time, the other two aren't really in the film for longer than three & a half minutes. The stoy is about Mitchie, a 'normal' girl, who constantly smiles & she has a talent for songwriting & singing & is soon thrust into the all-singing all dancing world of 'Camp Rock'. Then there's Shane part of a band named Connect Three (real life band Jonas Brothers). Everything is happy & merry until Mitchie becomes part of the 'popular clique'. 'Camp Rock' is good for its target audience, it IS a Disney movie afterall, so there are going to be the inevitable conveniences & morals that heve been touched upon many a film before. But the film is sweet & innocent, the underlying message is be yourself. On a more sour note, the other two unintentional messages are to get famous- be a singer, whatever. It seems the kids watching films like this & the 'HSM' moives are all being lead to believe that in order to truly be someone they have to dance, or sing (mainly both). The other message is avoid skinny blonde girls like the bubonic plague, Disney has been waging war on Blondes since Walt Disney was alive (Sharpay, Tess Tyler). In conclusion it succeeds in creaing a film adequate for the target audience, so for all those tweens out there with 'HSM' withdrawl symptoms, this is the perfect substitute, a new leading man to drool over (Joe Jonas) & a new burgeoning pop-sensation to aspire to (Demi Lovato).

Take me to Camp Rock!,
By Ms. C. A. Anderson "Cassandra220689" (East Kilbride, Scotland) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Camp Rock [DVD] (DVD)
Camp Rock is another unique and ingenious film from Disney. If you liked High School Musical then you are sure to like this one. If not you will still like it!
It is a simple storyline but appeals to many age groups with its idea of falling in love with an older boy. The songs are so catchy and the talented Demi Lovato shows what she is made of with her songs. Her voice is amazing and her character Michie is central to the story. The story is simple yet effective as many of the Disney films are. With help from the rocky Jonas Brothers and with Joe Jonas cast as Demi Lovatos love interest at Camp Rock, it sets out to showcase the talent of Disney and gives girls and boys hope that talent gets you that far. Over all, the film is an enchanting laugh out loud film with catchy dance numbers, sing alongs and a love which defies the odds. Girls and boys will like this as my little cousin who is a boy loves it too just as much as my sister! Personally I wish there was a real Camp Rock when I was younger!!! I also think they are planning a sequel which should be good and hopefully it will compare to how great this on was! Cassandra220689
