"Camp"
Tagline:
"A comedy about drama."
Length:
114 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for mature thematic elements regarding teen sexual
issues, and some language
This low-budget musical is about teenagers at a summer performing arts camp. The movie is clumsy, but the exuberance of the unknown youngsters in the cast is a big plus. The film is warmhearted and passionate, and there are some laughs and a number of reasonably entertaining performances of show tunes. If you enjoy musical theater and can look past the story, you'll have a good time; otherwise, you'll probably hate this movie.
