Camp movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Fame may seem silly in retrospect, but Camp, with its dippy dialogue and characters revealing even less complexity than the ones from 42nd Street, arrives silly. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Apologies to Irene Cara, but you really do believe these kids want to live forever. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: The entire movie struck me as shallow, forced and phony in some of the same ways that Fame was a phony picture of the New York High School for Performing Arts. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: May be rickety, formulaic, overacted and tonally wobbly, but its spark of enthusiasm is so infectious that you have to love it for its faults. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A comedy, and for all its cliches and clumsiness, close to a great one. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: 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? Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Restraint and exuberance, joy and tenderness, and a cameo by the patron saint of musical theater, Stephen Sondheim. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: 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. Read more
Tom Sime, Dallas Morning News: Its earnest acting and brimming-over love for musicals are infectious, and most of its shopworn narrative devices play as tribute rather than trite. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The movie is so rigged to elicit the audience's empathy that it becomes difficult to watch. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The movie itself is poorly put together, right from an awkward credit sequence, and few of the characters convince. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: It's fun, but Camp falls short of persuading viewers to go directly into musical comedy. Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: Another of those summer movies that want to pluck at our heartstrings. If it would just stop plucking for a second, it might be enjoyable. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: You'll have trouble keeping your toes from tapping. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: There are moments when you're not sure whether you're supposed to scoff with Camp, or at it. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Writer/director Graff doesn't give the kids much to work with, lumbering them with a script overloaded with gay cliches ... and lazy rip-offs. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: The situations are mighty broad, but exuberance counts for something in the movie with perhaps the year's most double-edged title. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: One gets the sinking feeling, while watching, that many will love it, so why not you? Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Spiked with some genuine show-stopping musical numbers, and the sheer pluck of its young cast is nothing if not admirable. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Occasional clumsiness is easily coated over by the movie's overarching goodwill. Read more
