King of the Camp

I really liked King of the Camp - it was a fun musical and had a bit more depth to it than other movies in the genre. The leads, Cindy and Will, seemed like real genuine people.

You could tell the studio behind the movie wanted to appeal to both boys and girls, because there is a strong wakeboarding presence in the film. The stunts are pretty amazing, including the lead actor who jumps onto a dock on a wakeboard from the water.

And the DVD came with a free soundtrack - the songs were another strong point of the movie. The ghost story was particularly good - all the songs seemed to fit the theme of being at camp.

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.

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.

A very bad Camp Rock ripoff it doesnt present anything new. Songs are over produced pop garbage

This movie is not very good. The acting is below average with nobody you've ever heard of starring in the movie. The script is also below average and you can pretty much tell exactly how the entire story is going to unfold from the first moment the movie starts right up to the end.

The worst part of all though is the music. It is as if they just threw pocket change and some candy at a grade four music class and asked them to come up with some songs to put in a movie and they wrote and recorded everything in about ten minutes.

The dancing and choreography are also below average.

Skip this movie, you've been warned.
