I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I felt a little sorry for the performers in this piece of garbage, but only till they started doing the Chow Time dance number. Then I lost all pity for them and wanted them to leave the screen as soon as possible. I've seen better work in junior high school assemblies. I just realized that my review won't be posted unless it contains ten lines of text. Well, I'm going to have to work really hard to find anything more to say about this totally forgettable piece of adolescent pablum. But even if I only make it to nine and a half lines, that will contain more thought than anyone put into the making of this sorry excuse for a film. Oh, man-I still have two more lines. I wish now I'd never stumbled on this movie. It's now wasting way too much of my life. One of the girls was sort of cute, but it's still a really bad movie. If you think your kids might enjoy it, you should be working harder to raise smarter children. That was rude. Sorry. Okay--that's ten or more lines.

It's not like HSM is Shawshank Redemption either. But yes, the acting is sub-par, dialogue is sophomoric and the dancing is simplistic. But story is simple to follow, and fairly clean movie. If it's aimed at tweeners, it misses the mark for my taste. For 16er's, I suppose it's alright in this day and age. There are some sexuality exerted between the yoga and cheerleader girls. This is where it's a little much for tweeners. Probably like someone said, some of the actors look more like their in their 30's. Again, the story is clean, it conveys good moral values and the songs are actually good. Being a movie with wake-boarding, though not a wake-boarding person myself, there could have been more and better quality wakeboarding at the least. But finally, at least my mind wasn't propagandized by blockbuster movies that try to sell sell sell worldly ideals and products to me, ad nauseum. Not the best 1.6 hours, but good values and catchy tunes... "we'll be friends forever, singing the songs we love together..." Was on my DVR, not worth saving. But didn't complain like after I saw Clash of the Titans.

King of the Camp was a fun, little flick. As someone who spent each and every summer at camp in northern Ontario, it was easy to relate to this story. In the film, Will is Romeo to Cindy's Juliet - they are two characters from different sides of the tracks, who come together, despite their backgrounds. And if you've been to camp before, you know there is a barrier between counsellors and staff.The scenes in the dining hall were impressive - not sure if the producers hired all those extras or if they were kids staying at the camp - but there were tons of them in the background, which was nice to see.Summer camp, first and foremost, is all about having fun - and King of the Camp's songs and music do the right job! Recommended if you like this sort of movie.

If you're looking for a movie that will make you want to literally throw your T.V out the window, then this is the movie for you! This movie was utterly terrible. The acting made me feel like I was watching a terrible high school play and the way the camera moved was like a home video. I didn't really understand it though! I mean, what type of camp was this? Why were there only 'popular' people as councilors? Why do they look down to the kitchen staff? It just made no sense. And the dancing was awful! NO ONE was in sync and it was just choppy. And most importantly, all the actors singing voices, just didn't cut it for this movie. They all sounded inexperienced. I mean, I can sing, and I've never had a singing lesson in my life. It just seems that every musical that is being made now, is trying to be exactly like High School Musical or Camp Rock. Just face it Future Directors and Producers of low budget Musicals, you will not be able to top High School Musical or Camp Rock's success.I definitely do not recommend this movie to anyone.
