There's nothing objectionable about the messages of the piece: always be true to yourself and treat everyone with dignity and respect. But teens and adults may find it a little saccharine.
-
It's really a great movie, like a modern-day version of an old Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney picture in which the kids put on a show that improves the lives of all who see it.
-
It takes nothing away from this genuinely talented group of kids to express even greater admiration for the promotion and marketing.
-
What matters is how well it's done, and Disney does a lot of things right. It's multicultural. Parents are portrayed as people. The intrapersonal dramas are small enough so viewers will understand them.
-
This is a hit, and has been carefully crafted by Disney to become one. The formula may be as old as pop culture itself, but (again) who really cares?
-
Camp Rock is glossy, all right, and should provide a glow for Walt Disney Co.
-
It’s all very sweet and tuneful, and took me back to my days as a Hayley Mills groupie.
-
This being Disney product, these issues are dealt with in primary colors, uplifting tones, and production levels that aim for exact competence—a workaday professionalism that's never too slick to alienate anyone.
-
The band has a refreshing scruffiness but except for Joe gets too little screen time to leaven the formula slickness.
