I am 18 years old, and I have to say that I have seen Disney follow quite a downhill trend (in my opinion) over these last nearly two decades. My first memories of Disney were wonders such as "Fantasia," "The Sword in the Stone," "Sleeping Beauty," etc. So I would like to inquire as to the nature of the more recent media put forth by Disney: "Camp Rock"? "High School Musical (What number is the world on now, 3?) 3"?! Whatever happened to the pure artistry and clever plots we once could experience? Where have all the times gone when Disney was actually entertaining because of its subject matter, not due to some desire to please the shifts in demographics? Utterly disgusted, I end my rant. Adieu

Its OKAY.

This was a very good movie! I watched it with my children and they loved it! We liked it better than High School Musical; and we felt those movies were great. We enjoyed the characters and the storyline and especially the songs. I think the Jonas Brothers are excellent role models for childrenof all ages.

I thought this was a wonderful movie for my 7 and 9 year old. This movie teaches you not to pretend to be someone your not and to be happy with your self and the talent you have. It displays that if you are mean to other people it will come back to you. I think this movie should be played in every school!!!!

If your kids loved HSM, they'll love this, too. There's absolutely nothing objectionable here, except the shameless commercialism of Disney (and who's surprised by that anymore?). Camp Rock toothbrushes and ipod cases anyone? The main character, played by Demi Lovato, is ashamed of being the "poor kid" so lies to be part of the popular crowd. The Joe Jonas character, Shane Gray, sheds his superior "I'm a cool pop star" attitude after working at his uncle's performing arts camp all summer. Of course the two are attracted to each other. Of course there is the required snobby blonde girl (and her loyal followers) who must remain queen bee at all costs, and who, of course, gets her comeuppance in the end. Everyone's focused on performing in the "Final Jam" and winning a chance to record with Shane Gray (Joe Jonas). Neatly and predictably, they all learn their lessons in the end. We got this On Demand before the premiere and my kids (daughter 10 and son 5) have already watched it three times. They both love it. I find it no more annoying than High School Musical -- perhaps the music is not quite as catchy as HSM. When they're done watching send them outside to put on their own "Final Jam" among the trees.

My daughter thought it was terrific. She's 8. I thought HSM and HSM2 were terrific. I thought CAMP ROCK was a mess. Very little originality went into it. The acting was thoroughly mediocre. The plot was embarrassingly simple, shallow, and see-through. I recognize that movies like this aren't supposed to be Shakespeare, but Disney certainly could have put a little more time in. Music was catchy, though the dance numbers were unimaginative. Watch HSM2 again, instead.
