This movie is a wonderful movie. The title doesn't really suggest it but once you begin to watch it it just captivates you and you can't resist the temptation to finish the whole movie. It inspires kids to be who they really are and not worry about others. It inspired to me to be myself and not really care about what others think. I really related to the teens in the movie primarily because most of them were dealing with and going through problems that I had. I really encourage any teen who feels like an outcast or left out to watch this movie. i know it would make you feel better about yourself. Not to mention that the singing was fantastic. The young people in this movie definitely had talent. I know it did for me.

Jenna is just a doll in the movie too and a little low key then she starts to blossoms LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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

A cast of mostly likable unknowns stars in this movie about a summer camp for musical theater. The plot runs a bit thin, at times coming off like a Fame remake, and at other times taking a Rent-like theme of outcasts bonding through their art and adapting it for the High School Musical demographic. What it lacks in plot it makes up for in laughs and music. The writing is mostly sharp and witty, and while predictable, the better scenes still manage to get you laughing. The music is a wonderful mix of originals by Steven Trask (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Michael Gore (Fame), Broadway favorites, covers of songs by the Rolling Stones, Victoria Williams and others, and even some more obscure stuff like The Replacements and The Reindeer Section/Snow Patrol. I had never heard of this movie and came into it not knowing what to expect, but with the exception of the unrealistic kiss-and-make-up ending, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're a fan of musicals, teen movies, or just want something a little different from your standard Hollywood fare, then you might just enjoy this movie too.
