Summary: A vehicle for fans of Joe Jonas with some truth about the "work" of showbiz in its extras
Comment:
Camp Rock was so long anticipated for its Disney Channel premiere that, as far as the local kids were concerned, the world stopped turning that evening. Though it's sort of being sold as a Jonas movie, it's really a vehicle for up-and-coming young star Demi Lovato and "ouch he's sooooooo keee-uwww-te!" Joe Jonas. His brothers have marginal roles, reportedly due to Joe's insistence they be included. Demi has that Sally Field winsomeness down pat -- ABC should have no trouble recasting if they ever bring back The Flying Nun. (Seriously, which Saint can I pray to for that? I loved that show.)
The movie follows the garden-variety teen formula, where the nice girl learns to be true to her mom and her friends and herself and the mean girl is told off (with perhaps the greatest line in the history of teen movies: "B-T-W, your lip gloss is soooo not glossy anymore!")
Even though Camp Rock's DVD includes one disc; there are comparatively more extras, like songs, videos and the like. What really impressed me was, believe it or not, "How to Be a Rock Star," a series of mini-docs currently being promoted on the Disney Channel. What I like is that they balance material like Demi giving the impression that she's having a constant ball making the movie. That may be true, but it could also give young, impressionable kids the idea that it's a nonstop laugh-filled party to be a showbiz kid.
However, as the "Rock Star" segments continue, the more refreshingly straightforward they become, and the less public relations-driven they seem. Kids need to hear how much practice, school, dedication, discipline and hard, hard work all of the cast must commit to in order to make any kind of success.
It's a message rarely shown with any degree of emphasis on today's various entertainment magazine shows. Kids often see either the extreme of fun and glamour or the extreme of dysfunction. In between there are lots of people who earn what they get because they work hard. Someone actually says, "None of these kids has any of this handed to them."

Summary: The movie is great, but what's with full screen only?
Comment: Even as an adult (38) and father or two boys (5 & 8) I found myself enjoying the movie. The plot obviously isn't too deep but allows you to have fun throughout the movie.
Sadly the DVD version falls short in presentation. I find it a mistake to not offer a widescreen version of the film other than Blu-Ray. Seeing that there was only one option to purchase as a DVD, I had assumed that either both versions were on the disc or that it was just widescreen. It was a huge disappointment to find out that the movie is only 4x3.
Long story short. I wish I had read the details better on Amazon. In the end I would have not purchased this and just let the kids continue to watch the HD version we recorded on the DVR with commercials.
The movie itself is 4 stars. Unfortunately I knocked this rating down to 3 stars because of the forced 4x3 format on DVD.
Disney, what are you thinking?

Summary: Could've Been Better...
Comment: This movie did have a few drama scenes, and had a very few story lines. Really didn't have any point to it, it was a good musical, had good music, It just didn't hit it for me. Disney should have had more to it then what was shown. High School musical had it all. but over in all, I give it 3 stars.
