**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.

I watched this movie today at the beginning it was OK but i actually felt that it was too long because the music is not as good as Disney channel other movies like teen beach movies but there are some pretty good song especially the duet between Mitchie and Shane it was the best song in the movie i didn't like the choreography so much but at least the message of the movie was good camp rock is about a girl who want to spend her summer vacation at a musical camp called camp rock i liked that Shane wants to discover who is the mystery girl who is singing because that reminds me of Eric from the little mermaid when Ariel sings to him and he want to be with this mystery girl with the great voice so i liked that from the movie over all it's not so bad but not as good as other Dcoms.

2006 was the mayor turning point for Disney with the new releases of "Hannah Montana" and "High School Musical". While they amused the kids and tweens, they certainly despaired the rest of the world. And why not? They were just made for marketing campaign and for franchise. The High School Musical films (at least those I've seen) were quite mediocre. Hannah Montana the show, despite it's flaws, turned to be quite entertaining, but was unfortunately followed up by a disappointing movie. Logically there's no strange why the hatred for the new Disney Channel products has blossomed and why some of the public attacks them, considering that Disney currently no longer makes hand drawn-flicks (with the exception of "The Princess and the Frog") and instead just produces out teen stars with their own shows, movies, music and etc.Speaking for myself, I don't like either quite like that Disney produces stars in that way, but I shall confess that I've seen a few of the new Disney Channel movies, just of curiosity. When I first heard about "Camp Rock", my thought were immediately that Disney wanted to repeat it's success with a mediocre movie. But I was wrong; "Camp Rock" is one of the better Disney channel movie I've seen.Of course this movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's surprisingly decent, entertaining and even better than the High School Musical flicks and the Hannah Montana Movie."Camp Rock" is starring the Disney teen star Demi Lovato, who is promoted in almost the same way as Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. Demi is likable enough and delivers a decent performance here, but she does have a lot of progression to distinguish herself from both Selena and Miley. This doesn't necessarily means that Demi is a bad actress, hopefully if she chooses the right parts, she can become really good. But vocally she is a step in front of her competitors. She doesn't have a distinctive voice, but a beautiful one, who sounds stunning when she hits the right notes. She's also shows energy and dynamic in her "This Is Me" performance at the end of the film.The rest of the cast does a decent job without being memorable. Those who distinguish themselves are Alyson Stoner as the likable Caitlyn Geller and Meaghan Jette Martin as Tess Tyler. Also Joe Jonas is very credible as the selfish and unlikeable (at least the beginning) Shane Gray. His two other brothers are charming, but far from the best actors this world has to offer. Otherwise it's easy to notice that the same Disney stars from the TV shows is used in the movies. Even Anna Maria Perez de Tagle plays a dumb character in flick similar to the character of Ashley as she plays in "Hannah Montana".Otherwise, there isn't so much to say about "Camp Rock". It's a typical teen flick; a insecure girl as the protagonist, new friends to make, falling in love and etc. Oh, one thing I want to mention; If you've asked me who Demi Lovato or Joe Jonas was for a year ago, I wouldn't have a clue. And the ironically about the Disney Channel flicks is that their movies are mediocre, but their songs are very catchy and likable - and "Camp Rock" is no exception. There are many good songs here, which are better than both the latest "Hannah" and "High School" songs.The only bad thing about this film is that is was released a year ago. This is one of Disney Channel's better movies and if it was released today, it would have made up to Disney's other mistakes like the "Hannah Montana Movie", "High School Musical" and even "Hatching Pete" and "Dadnapped". Otherwise, don't expect a masterpiece while you're seeing this film, just expect this to be a harmless and decent teen flick and then you'll be pleased.
