Having went to a performing Arts High School, I can totally relate to this movie. The whole Vlad seducing Robin's character...I knew someone in high school who was just like Vlad, in the sense that he wanted all the attention, he would have gone that far, just to be loved.
I will also say, that in high school, I knew every single character in that movie. I even saw myself in one of them. That movie is realistic in many ways.
But, let's not forget the title "Camp". It has a double meaning, people!

Posted: 2/19/05 at 4:55amJustice has it right, because I guess to truly love this movie you have to understand all the theatre jokes and you have to relate to the characters or at least know people that remind you of the characters. And like Justice already pointed out, the movie is supposed to be "camp"y.

Posted: 2/19/05 at 10:20amas long as you take it for what it is and not a legendary piece of filmwork then i think it's good. i really loved the musical moments. and play was hilarious. SILENT SCREAM! but i agree, the cliches are the point of the movie, hence its title.

(I mean, who'd do Follies at a camp filled with pre-teens or high schoolers at best?)
Bwaysinger, I have actually worked at a performing arts camp (all girls) for 7 years and a few years ago we did Follies with the oldest girls. It actually wasnt' that bad. They have done some pretty heavy material at this place ranging from Sunday in the Park to Cabaret with pretty full-out productions.
I must admit when I heard CAMP was coming out, I was so excited, but I was ultimately let down. I "got" all the campy-ness and the references, but as you said Bwaysinger, it's all about the execution.

Posted: 11/3/05 at 4:31pmI love this movie SO much... I would love to see it somehow done over or a similiar story being told. We theatre kids need to be shown that there is nothing wrong with us!

Posted: 11/3/05 at 5:01pmI enjoyed the movie, even though I knew it's wasn't that great a piece. I agree the musical numbers are the best part. The acting really kind of sucks (I came across it again last night on cable and it was SO obvious how bad the acting is). However, if you just go for the ride and try not to be so critical, it's enjoyable.

Posted: 11/3/05 at 5:07pmI don't really care for the movie, but the "Ladies Who Lunch" scene has to be one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a while.

i loved this movie.
granted, i agree with a lot of you that it is EXTREMELY corny and some of the acting is horrendous, but I liked it. all of the singers were extremely talented. script was a bit weak. daniel letterle wasn't the most amazing (he played vlad). his scene with joanna chilcoat on the rooftop was. extremely awkward, to say the least. but, as someone said, a lot of the cliches really do happen at theatre camp. trust me. haha
idina menzel can clearly be heard as backing vocals in "Want of a Nail."
I am quite upset Joanna Chilcoat's version of "And I'm Telling You, I'm Not Going" didn't make it to the soundtrack.
some poor acting. relatively poor script. not so wonderfully shot. good concept. amazing singers. overall, one of my favorite movies because I can relate to it in many ways, but I can totally see how people wouldn't like it.

That movie is so campy.
(Pun not intended.)
(Okay, maybe it was a bit intended.)

The movie itself was alright.
The Stephen Sondheim cameo was priceless. I was not expecting it at all and it shocked the hell out of me.

Posted: 11/3/05 at 10:28pmsasha allen was in the off-broadway cast of Bare. i am unsure of the name of her part, but she had a few solos, a bunch in "rolling." she was leaving the production over the summer, though, I believe, and would not have returned with it had it restarted at Dodgers Stages in the fall.
