Camp Rock (2008), 5

TV-G | 1h 34min | Comedy, Family, Music | TV Movie 20 June 2008
At a music camp for gifted teens, a popular teen idol overhears a girl singing and sets out to find who the talented voice belongs to. What he doesn't know is that the girl is actually a camp kitchen worker with a fear of being heard.
Director: Matthew Diamond
Stars: Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Meaghan Martin.

Watched online, very blurry.

14 songs in the Soundtracks.

More about economic snobbery than music, although plenty of bubble gum is sung. The "star" of the camp from the prior summer is the daughter of a pop star, and the new girl is only there because her mom is the camp cook; they couldn't afford camp otherwise.

The songs seem all to be about self-discovery/development/identity. <eye roll>

Very consistent in whiny tone. Avoid.

Rated 5.1 (26,002)

Disney, dir. Diamond; 5
