For The Tweens With HSM Withdrawl Symptoms, Here's A New Franchise To Obsess Over - By: willow, 30 Nov 2008 
'Camp Rock' is what I would describe as a good substitute for the finished series of the 'High School Musical' films.
It ticks all the typical Disney movie boxes; shy, unpopular leading lady, hot crush (Joe Jonas), nasty blonde rich girl & a good ol' moral at the end.
'Camp Rock' is better than 'High School Musical 2' but not better than 1 & 3. I don't think there's a mere chance of any Disney musical having a hit bigger than 'Breaking Free' but 'Camp Rock' does have a few catchy tunes, the best being 'This Is Me' sung by Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas.
Ah, the Jonas Brothers. Three pop-rock virgins with a loyal tween fan base, teamed with Disney, a match madein heaven. The middle Jonas (Joe)has the most air time, the other two aren't reallyin the film for longer than three & a half minutes.
The stoy is about Mitchie, a 'normal' girl, who constantly smiles & she has a talent for songwriting & singing & is soon thrust into the all-singing all dancing world of 'Camp Rock'. Then there's Shane part of a band named Connect Three (real life band Jonas Brothers).
Everything is happy & merry until Mitchie becomes part of the 'popular clique'.
'Camp Rock' is good for its target audience, it IS a Disney movie afterall, so there are going to be the inevitable conveniences & morals that heve been touched upon many a film before. But the film is sweet & innocent, the underlying message is be yourself. On a more sour note, the other two unintentional messages are to get famous- be a singer, whatever. It seems the kids watching films like this & the 'HSM' moives are all being lead to believe thatin order to truly be someone they have to dance, or sing (mainly both). The other message is avoid skinny blonde girls like the bubonic plague, Disney has been waging war on Blondes since Walt Disney was alive (Sharpay, Tess Tyler).
In conclusion it succeedsin creaing a film adequate for the target audience, so for all those tweens out there with 'HSM' withdrawl symptoms, this is the perfect substitute, a new leading man to drool over (Joe Jonas) & a new burgeoning pop-sensation to aspire to (Demi Lovato).
Camp rock Rocks - By: G. Gillespie, 15 Oct 2008 
Bearing mind this is a kids movie it was well made & the songs & storyline were good for the target audiernce. As I parent I even enjoyed & the songs are catchy & fun.
... - By: S. J. Ruse, 01 Oct 2008 Well I Absolutley HATED high school musical the entire film just irritates me. But i have to admit , the signingin this movie was actually really good & the songs were pretty catchy. The storyline wasnt particually original but it was still worth watching. I'd recommend renting this movie or watchig it on disney channel before you buy it though.
Camp Rock - By: Elmy, 22 Sep 2008 
If you love High school musical you are sure to like camp rock. Camp rock makes more sense. The story it self is not that great i was disapointedin this movie as it could have been alot better than it is.
The film should of been called Camp PoP as it is not rock music.
The songs are cheesie but catchy.
Camp Rock rocks? - By: A. Jahan, 19 Aug 2008 I'm a die hard Jonas Brothers fan but I have to admit I was disopointed by it's corny-ness & writing. The actors could have done so much better but Disney can't seem to make it anymore
Despite this it still rocks & has some amazingly catchy songs & the Jonas Brothers so look fine :]
