CAMP

Posted: 2/29/04 at 2:00pm

I just saw the movie Camp a couple days ago and LOVED IT!! Was wondering what anyone thought of the concept and what was the reaction to Stephen Sondheim being in the movie?

I thought it was sweet-I especially loved the montage with "I'm still here"--the ending 20 minutes was a little awkward and not totally connected to the first part-or so i thought--but i loved "here's who I am"

I loved stephen's cameo!

Placed up there on the WORST 10 Movies I have ever seen...possibly ranking in the WORST 5....the only decent parts were "Here's Who I Am", the Dreamgirls Sequence, and the Follies Sequence

If movies on your worst movies ever seen list have good parts to them, you clearly havent seen enough movies.

I was disappointed in it. The script was a mess. It had such talent and appealing performers, but the script and direction hampered them. It was yet another film where a gay character never has a romantic and/or sexual relationship with another gay character. The movie started off strong, but lost steam along way until the painfully protracted ending. The performers deserved much better than they got.

Great premise and characters, but it was very weak in my opinion. It could have been darker and dramtic, ala FAME, that's what I thought it was going into it. But they sugar coated it making it PG-13 for all to view.

I felt it was a little too mtv, meets lizzie maguire. It should've been darker. It started to touch that surface with Michael's plotline, and even the beginning I thought I hit gold, but it nevertheless sold out to the younger audiences, as did Center Stage.

Even through all the negativity I still appreciated it for what it was.

I enjoyed the movie. Except the last part DISGUSTED me. That Vlad kid has like 50 things going on with different girls...and even tries to kiss Michael, and actually admits 'I just did it to make you happy.' And then Ellen agrees to go back with him, and when Michael protests, she turns to him and says 'No offense Michael, but sooner or later I'm going to have to start hanging out with guys who don't wear dresses.' That's the most disgsting thing I've ever heard in a movie. The script was poorly written, and the actors and characters were repulsive and obnoxious. The only good parts of the movie were the show scenes.

I thought it was a very fun movie right up to the end - then, as usual - a hollywood sellout ending. of course he's not allowed to be actually gay. That ruined the movie for me and I had such high hopes from the trailers and the first half of the film - some really brilliant moments... I wonder what Stephen Sondheim thought of it after seeing the finished production.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I think the movie was an embarassment for people who attend Stagedoor.

How would you know StateofJade? Did you go to Stagedoor? Practically all of the camp loved it. I don't know how close it is to Stagedoor TODAY, but then again, the man who wrote based it on his experiences which was a while back. I personally thought the movie was very good, and I go to Stagedoor.

Umm... here's the deal: its entertaining, the musical numbers are fun and its GREAT to see camp on screen. Its not really like camp, i went there for 8 years. The similarities are the passion that the kids have for the theater and the way that by the end of the summer your calling stagedoor (or camp ovation) your second home. Its not exactly like camp... but its entertaining and HILARIOUS when you compare fact to fiction: 2 people in one room? HA! Never! 3 people in one show!? SIKE. and doing Company or Follies.... NO SIREE.
