I adored this movie. There are several candidates for "worst movie" and this is not one of them.

Sasha Allen (I wonder if she auditioned for Effie) and Tiffany Taylor were great in this movie.

Well, of course Stephen Sondheim showed up! The camp is full of pubescent boys! LOL

Anyway, I don't think this movie would ever be put on stage. As mentioned earlier, licensing rights would be way too expensive and unrealistic unless it was a "revue" of sorts. For example if they did all Sondheim, etc. I also don't think it would happen because it would be terribly difficult to find performers who looked the age range that the kids at the camp should be.

On a side note, some of you have really funny casting choices. Talk about age/type inappropriate. I bet you all are a Tara Rubin casting nightmare!

Camp was a s0-so movie, the acting was HORRIBLE, but it was pretty funny, but the singing was awesome. I met some of the cast members too. I can't remember her name but in the film she played the girl who got her mouth wired shut and she sand "Heres who I am" (Not sure if thats the song title), and a few other people. But when I met her she was all about herself and she wasn't very nice...

It wouldnt' work well on stage at all...but I loved it. It was cute, and while it isn't representative of all the kids who love musical theater, that was the point. Not all of us are (were) freaks, but YOU KNOW the freaks. You know those self proclaimed 'Menzelists'...you know those bitter teachers/directors. The movie was more about filling the holes with your own pegs and Identifying. Not about star turns or cinematic history. Give it a break. It was triple fun for me because half my friends were in it (Tracee Beazer (Hairspray), DeQuina Moore (Little Shop), Mario, Tony, Tiffany)-I thought it was hilarious.

Do you think it is really clear whether Vlad is indeed straight?

I love that movie!!!!!!!!! It's a good idea to put it on the stage, but it's hard and it probably wouldn't make it.

Count me in the "I don't get it" camp, if you will. I thought it was a terrible movie. Maybe if it was a little more campy (ok, how many more times can I get "camp" in this post?!?!) it would have been 'so bad it was good,' but I just fount it poorly acted, written, and directed. I had to turn it off half-way through and go back and finish it the next morning...I just had to see what all the hooplah was about. I don't get it, but I guess it has plenty of admirers, so more power to y'all!

I think if you watch the movie with a grain of salt it can be very enjoyable and nice. As for it working on Broadway, I doubt it would ever happen. Not to mention the aforementioned casting choices are much too old to play moody teenagers.

Idina sang back-up on "How Shall I See You Through My Tears" and "The Want of a Nail" but wasn't actually in the movie. Coincidentally, the musicians for the movie came from the entire Rent band, everybody but the drummer. This included Tim Weil on piano and keyboards, Kenny Brescia on guitar and banjo, Daniel A. Weiss on organ, and Steve Mack on bass.

It's the best worst movie ever. I'd enjoy if they made it into a musical...as long as they got better actors and FIXED THE ENDING. HA.

Regarding Idina in the songs, you can for serious tell she's singing on the line "The world was lost" during "Want of a Nail." I think I remember reading that being mentioned somewhere. But that's definitely the most obvious.

This movie was ok... far from the worst. Fritzie made it all worthwhile. I also enjoyed "The Ladies Who Lunch." and Sondheims appearence was cool, very cool.

and to whoever said "Well, of course Stephen Sondheim showed up! The camp is full of pubescent boys! LOL"- That was totally uncalled for.

re: CAMP !!!!!!! WOW

Posted: 6/29/05 at 3:16am

Camp has some okay lines (I myself use the "Say, I think I know your sister, Cinderella?" from time to time) and some pretty good musical numbers. Well, two.

Turkey Lurkey Time is a lot of fun (and I really enjoy the insert of "I'm Still Here", personally).

The Ladies Who Lunch, with Tony-nominee Anna Kendricks, is the only reason I have the DVD. Turkey Lurkey Time and Sondheim are icing on the cake, but there's some real magic during that number. I simply cannot imagine another 17 year old (as she was at the time of the filming) being able to pull of THAT number with quite so much flair.

re: CAMP !!!!!!! WOW

Posted: 6/29/05 at 3:18am

How old is Anna Kendricks?
Shes amazing, I was so happy when she drugged that biatch and made her throw up on stage and said "The god damn show must go on"

I love this movie, but I dont really think it had a strong plot, I mean Vlad got with everyone, just randomly. But Sondheim showed up, and thats all I need.

Anna Kendrick(s) (she's been listed under both) was born August 9th, 1985, which would make her 19 right now, I believe.

She was in High Society in 1998, where she won the 1998 Theater Award (which goes to a man and a woman who make their Broadway debut that year) and was nominated for a Tony as well.

From what I hear, the show was absolutely dreadful, but she was one of the bright spots, and even at that age (12 or so) already exhibited freakish talent.

I have "My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies" on DVD as well, and she sings "Life Upon The Wicked Stage" with the Kit Kat Girls from Cabaret. And holds her own.

I haven't heard anything about her after Camp, but I'd say she's going places.
