Yes I did just watch Camp Rock. Why? You may ask. Because I really like Demi Lovato and probably have a crush on her (I know how old she is, I don't care). I had this on my DVR for a long time but finally decided to watch it last night. Now I have a feeling it's because I am not really their target audience, but I really didn't like it quite much. I really only watched it to hear what songs Demi Lovato sings in it, but she really only sang one song the whole (I actually did like that song though). The plot was extremely predictable, in a bad way. A bunch of random minor characters had singing and dancing numbers but I fastforwarded through almost all of those because they sucked and I didn't care. The Jonas Brothers did an okay job acting except for the oldest one. He was playing like a spaced out rocker and was really awful. Thankfully he only had a minor role and Joe Jonas had the larger role and did a fine job. I would say the only real positives of the whole movie was Toledo's own Allyson Stoner who did a great job, and Demi Lovato because her character was very adorable.
There were two minor things that made me go WTF a little bit.
1. Demi Lovato's characters name is "Mitchie." What the hell kind of name for a girl is Mitchie?
2. Her characters mom is a caterer and decides to work for Camp Rock (so her daughter can go) because she said "summer is always slow for business." As someone who works for a catering company I can tell you that is basically the complete opposite of the truth.
The thing I find most shocking about Camp Rock is that Disney hasn't bought an actual camp and made a real life "Camp Rock" yet. With how popular this movie is with young teen girls it would basically be a money making monster. I believe they just finished making Camp Rock 2, but unless it has a better plot, some better supporting actors, and I hear that it features a couple of new Demi Lovato songs, I probably won't go out of my way to watch it.
