Advantages: Teens will like it! Disadvantages: Does'nt Feature much of the Jonas Bros!
Being a High School Musical fan , when I heard that there was a new 'music' film out , I just had to see what Disney had come up with and whether it was live up to the success of High School Musical.
Camp Rock is an American Disney Channel Original movie released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008. The film was directed by Mathew Diamond and stars a few already 'well known' children's entertainers , including the American boyband The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. Running time of this movie is ninety four minutes (four minutes over one hour and a half). This movie is a U which means it can be seen by children of all ages!

Advantages: Lovely beach....the south of France, dahling Disadvantages: Not much to do without a car
numerous bays by jutting out rocks. Lots of these had life guards on duty which is rare for the bits of the Med I'm used to. The water was ideal for swimming with no fish or rocky parts and just a few crashing waves on the more windy days. The beaches were popular without being too crowded - there was always room to lay out a towel or five. Some of the areas were commercialised with a bar and a sunbed / umbrella / pedalo peddling man and some were empty of the above, populated only by usually French children playing bat and ball. The beach was bordered by some camp sites but the shopping stretch pulled down from it at a right angle so you couldn't wander along the beach looking for somewhere to lunch or to shop, you had to actually leave it.

Advantages: Good story line, realistic characters, excellent show scenes Disadvantages: High school musical is of a higher standard and more viewable
I found this a quite an enjoyable film. Its not to be taken too seriously, its along similar lines to Fame, however in an American camp for gifted singers, actors, etc. The singing I found was very good for the most part - my favorite parts being the shows the children performed in the film. The realistic sideline story is very good also showing you a bit of an insight of what it is like to attend one of these summer camps. The love story aspect was quite good from all angles showing the complexity of relationships between heterosexual and gay relationships both from a friendship and dating angle.
This is a film I would recommend to others, however I do have to admit it isn't up to the same standard as the recent High School Musical films, but none the less worth a peek.
