Camp Rock

Haven't watched this in sooo long, it's a nice feel good movie, really cheesy, some catchy songs, but just a bit of fun!

This has always been so top tier. Like yeah the writings questionable and the outfits are a real 2008 period piece and the acting isn’t always great but it truly is such a staple of my childhood. Demi has always been insanely talented and camp rock showed it so well. I’m always gonna be questioning the fact that Kevin was given such a crazy stupid part to play when hes the oldest brother, but it is what it is. Also watching it this time I had a scene/song at the end (our time is here) that i’d never seen or heard before but it really was a good song. I miss this era of disney very much but i also know it was hellish for the actors.

Could have been moderately enjoyable if the songs were at least good. There's at least some delicious irony in the plot thread about Connect 3's record label only wanting them to perform songs that the management think they can sell, because that very kind of sanitized, empty, soulless pop music comprises the movie's entire soundtrack—which Disney no doubt expected to sell.
