Reviews for Camp
When I come out of a movie and jump on the cel phone to tell anyone in my time zone to see it when it comes out, it made a visceral impact on me.

Though unpolished and a bit formulaic, Camp reminds us that adolescence isn't just a period of time, it's a journey of self-discovery that teens must undertake on their own.

The film is all about the musical numbers, and they're terrific.

Graff has drawn uniformly excellent performances from his cast of unknowns. And they can sing and dance up a storm.
07/25/03
It's fun, but Camp falls short of persuading viewers to go directly into musical comedy.

Much like its striving youngsters, the eager-to-please film gets by on the strength of its belief that the world would be a better place if everyone had the chance to put on a show.

A film so pointless you'd wish all these kids had been stuck in summer school instead.

Top CriticA pleasant and light-hearted film with some spirited musical numbers and a sassy group of talented teenagers strutting their stuff.

Camp has a good deal of the appeal, and the drawbacks, of a high school play. It can be pokey and overly earnest and its dramatics are not always polished, but, on the other hand, would you want them to be?

Top CriticTheater lovers will be in hog heaven.

The movie is so rigged to elicit the audience's empathy that it becomes difficult to watch.

It's wonderful little freaks like the kids at Camp Ovation on whom the American musical theater pins its future, and Graff offers a handful of them a nice moment in the spotlight.

Camp may not be great cinema, but it's passionate and original enough to be special.

When Bert drunkenly berates the batch for harboring hopeless dreams and wasting their time on performing, it’s supposed to underscore how angry and damaged Bert is; instead, you’re pondering whether the man has a point.
07/24/03
A sometimes witty but unnecessarily long comedy that does for musicals and the people who love them what Best In Show did for dog fanatics.
07/24/03
A blast of exuberant fun that stays rooted in humanity.
07/22/03
One gets the sinking feeling, while watching, that many will love it, so why not you?

Fans of musical theater will be pleasantly coddled thanks to the wonderful production numbers scattered within its campy cellulose walls.
