First, I want to thank you for ruining my day and almost forcing me to shoot my computer screen with your avatar....Just kidding...but not really.
I've seen it...infact, it brings back memories....14 cast members crammed into my tiny basement with our 65 year old director watching this...
and "Here's to the ladies who lunch BLEGHHHHHHHHH" has to be the best part
Was that a fat joke?

Posted: 5/6/05 at 6:05pmit's ok. It has it's good and bad moments. I do enjoy it at times but by no means is it a good movie.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 5/6/05 at 6:32pmthe music is fun but i have to agree with zippyjen. did they have to cast such bad actors for a film about acting?

Terrible film really but worth seeing for the musical numbers.
Anna Kendrick rules, love the "Ladies Who Lunch" scene.
"She's f*cked, I'm ready, and the g**damn show must go on. So let's get cracking, shall we?"
EDIT: I can't believe we haven't mentioned the Sondheim cameo!

Posted: 5/7/05 at 12:03amI love this movie just because i know the girl in it...The girl that plays the girl who hooks up with the guy lives up the street from me.

That "Ladies Who Lunch" scene made the film for me. With the Sondheim cameo, too.
I just love when she smashes that glass and has that insane look on her face, it cracks me up.

Posted: 5/7/05 at 12:40amCome on Munk, I mean it is bad, but there is some total dreck out there. Although come to think of it the acting and plot of this movie is dreck. But I loved going to camp and showtunes, so it has that.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Posted: 5/7/05 at 1:05amI like it- I love going to camp, I love showtunes. It was cute!

Posted: 5/7/05 at 11:59amIt's ok. Certainly not good but as it is a record of these kids accomplishing their dreams of musical performance there is a sweetness to it. OBviously Sondheim gives it his blessing- if he hadn't the rights to the songs alone woulds bust the bank.

It's a movie people love to hate but I love to watch.
Not perfect, but God, how enjoyable to watch!
My only complaint is that they act like the Camp never does any "Black" musicals and are forced to do the most miscast version of Dreamgirls imaginable, but the film opens with that great scene from Gospel at Colonus.

I just love the Ladies Who Lunch scene and Turkey Lurky Time... Did anyone else just wanna kill that blonde girl? The Turkey Lurky Time girl, What a bitch?!

I do like some of the performances - they are amusing.
But did they bother to audition people before casting them? Did they try to cast the least attractive people possible?
The kid that played Michael repulsed me. If you go to your prom in drag - your problems are far deeper than just being Gay - but don't be shocked and depressed when people kick your ass. He asked for it. It just pissed me off.

Wow. That's like telling a girl who wears a short mini-skirt that she asked to be raped.
#18re: CAMP: The Movie
Posted: 5/7/05 at 6:25pmI loved this movie! I mean, yeah, it's cheesy, and yes, a few of them can't act, but still, it's just so cute!
J'ai compris tous les mots, j'ai bien compris, merci.............

Posted: 5/7/05 at 6:47pmbwaysinger: That's not the same thing at all, and you know it. He goes to the prom dressed in disgustingly hideous drag. Then when he gets beat up, he's literally depressed and hates his life. DID HE THINK PEOPLE WERE GOING TO THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA?
