Charming and frequently hilarious, IFC Films' Camp is like Fame for the musical-theater set. It's set at Camp Ovation, a summer retreat for budding actors and singers who chant Stephen Sondheim's "Losing My Mind" on their bus rather than "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall." Into this environment comes a--gasp!--straight male, Vlad (Daniel Letterle), who turns upside down the lives of wallflower Ellen (Joanna Chilcoat), cross-dressing Michael (Robin DeJesus), and instructor Bert Hanley (Don Dixon), a frustrated one-hit-wonder composer. Camp was written and directed by Todd Graff, himself a Broadway veteran, based on his experiences at New York's musical camp Stagedoor Manor (which was attended by Natalie Portman and Robert Downey Jr., among others). The characters are a bit thin and the plot somewhat predictable, but the musical numbers are a lot of fun--older tunes are mixed with originals by Stephen Trask (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Michael Gore (Fame), and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical the Musical)--and fans of musicals will love the many inside jokes, especially those relating to Sondheim. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of Camp
A MUST FOR EVERY THEATRE KID OUT THERE! THESPIANS MUST SEE THIS! This movie touched me far more than FAME did when I was a teenager just aching to move from Muscle Shoals, Alabama to New York City to be the greatest Broadway Musical Director in the World. The screenwriters and composers have a grasp of teen angst that is remarkable, fresh, honest, sweet, heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. <
>BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE...I was blessed to accidently recieve tickets to the WORLD PREMIERE of this talented team's brand new AMAZING musical "THIRTEEN" in Los Angeles in December. What a stunning cast, great concept..in my opinion, a far more finished, tighter, thoroughly wonderful new concept for musical theatre for all ages. This one will be performed more than "High School Musical" when the word gets out. The dancing reminded me of the Disney knock-out, but the acting, and singing of these amazing kids just blew the too-perfect Disney production right out of the water. I'm watching for each of the kids to be superstars! Oh that my musical I am working on gets such a great treatment! And that I can work with kids, cast, crew so amazing. Watch CAMP, then FIND 13, and relive the best and worst of your youth. Should be required of all 12 year olds...AND THEIR PARENTS!!!
A must see...
This is a great movie and you can't go wrong in buying it!!!
Fun movie, but don't expect too much
The young people in this movie can act - and SING! The sad thing is that they are better actors than the adults in the movie. It really is a strange little story that has some complexities that feel a bit rushed. It's fame on speed, that's all you need to know.
