Be yourself you you'll ROCK...."My mum's president of Hot Tunes TV - in China."
br /
br / When Mitchie Torres finally gets to attend Camp Rock, the rockin' camp for aspiring musicians and singers, she is estatic. When she arrives and sees the snobbyDiva of Camp, Tess Tyler, everything would be perfect if she could get friends with the Queen Bee. Unfortunately Tess Tyler only likes to hang with people who have "connections." When Mitchie says that her dad owns a hardwear store Tess is so not interested in her. But Tess is a LOT more interest when Mitchie blurts out, "My mum is president of Hot Tunes Tv- in China." Great! Tess wants to be friends with her now! Only drawback? Mitchie's mum is not president of Hot Tunes....she's the cook - at Camp Rock. So Mitchie is sub-Queen under false pretences and so begins her rocky ride of Summer lies.
br /
br /To add to the story, Shane Grey who makes up part of the famous band Connect three, is at Camp to teach. He doesn't want to, he is a "jerk" and has serious attitude. He hears a girl singing in the mess hall but doesn't see who it is, that girl is Mitchie. His mission is to find the girl with the voice. Back to Mitchie: Instead of lving the dream and singing solo at club jam, she decides to join in with Tess' band and sing back up instead of singing her heart out solo. She thinks her lies will make her Summer perfect but maybe she realises, they will turn it into a Nightmere.

br / This is a film with catchy tunes, good acting, funny parts and the overall message of "don't be ashamed to be you." Its message will inspire kids and teens who watch it. Its also a clean film, even cleaner then high school musical which is saying a lot, I love this film, and its definately one of my favs. It could be called "The nect HSM" but I think its got a totally different feeling then High School Musical. They are both different. But if you are a die hard fan of HSM you wil proabably at least enjoy "Camp Rock" if not become one of its greatest fans.

Great Movie!!!!!!!!!!We loved this! I have two kids 6 and 10 and High School Musical was just starting to wear thin.They couldnt wait to see Camp Rock! We really loved it,some kids do sometimes feel they have to lie to fit in and I think this film handled the consequences well.Fab songs which were well written and catchy.I suggest you buy the soundtrack too,as you wont be able to get the songs out of your head.The kids and me LOVED it.I even prefered it to High School Musical!Well done Disney.

I Wish I Were Feeling the RockMitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) is a high school student who writes her own songs. Her dream is to spend her summer at Camp Rock, a summer camp for musicians of all stripes. Things don't look good until her mother (Maria Canals-Barrera) lands a job as the camp cook. True, Mitchie has to help out around the kitchen, but she'll still get to attend most of the functions.
br /
br /On the first day, she sees Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin), the daughter of multi-Grammy award winning pop artist TJ Tyler. Tyler is the most popular girl at camp, and in an effort to impress her, she lies about her mother's job.
br /
br /Meanwhile, Mitchie also meets Shane Gray (Joe Jonas), the difficult member of the group Connect 3 (the other two members of the group are played by Kevin and Nick Jonas). Shane has been roped into teaching at the camp to rehabilitate his image. Mitchie makes an impression on him. But what will happen when her lies become common knowledge?
br /
br /Disney's attempt to create another musical franchise almost works. The music is pretty good here and ranges from pop to rock to hip hop. I'm willing to forgive the illogical backup singers during some of the musical numbers (like when Shane is singing alone at the lake) since these were obviously intended to be radio singles as well as musical numbers. The acting is good. And the setting is absolutely fun.
br /
br /However, the story just doesn't work for me. Maybe it's because I have always been too independent, but watching Mitchie keep lying to maintain a friendship with the most obviously two faced girl in the world wasn't believable. In fact, it bothered me that it took so long for some of the others to see through Tess as well. And the climax just felt too rushed.
br /
br /The idea behind this movie was good. And the music is decent. But the story just doesn't do it for me.
