Watching the new Disney Channel film Camp Rock took me back to the days when the Mickey Mouse Club offered Spin and Marty going to the Triple R ranch for the summer to do cowboy stuff. Some things just never go out of style though they might take on a different look for a different atmosphere. Overall, nothing to rave about or anything special, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Also the ending has a touch of feel good about it. The choreography is good, repetitive perhaps in one or two areas but not too bad. I thought the soundtrack was groovy and in general quite catchy, not my sort of thing really, but even after 15 minutes I can still remember the end song.
However, the performances had a lot of spirit and enthusiasm about them, with Demi Lovato sweet and pretty in the title role especially. The script also has its weak spots and clichés, and some of the characters felt shallow. Admittedly the story is very predictable, it is the sort of thing you have seen before and there is nothing special here. Yes, it was predictable and bland, but there were some enjoyable things about it. As I didn't care that much for the latter, I gave Camp Rock a shot, expecting it to be bad. I wasn't sure what Camp Rock would be like, as I heard a lot of bad things about it, and a lot of comparing to High School Musical.
