Crap times two

A movie title ending with a "2" is uttermost seldom a good idea and Camp Rock 2 is an excellent example of that.

When the last movie left us wondering if Disney could possibly churn out more shallow, brain-dead movies, Camp Rock 2 takes shallow brain-dead movies to an whole new level, shallow brain-dead movies times two. with a shallower story, even weaker characters (if that even was possible) and worse acting.

Our teenybop stars return to Camp Rock all jumped up on joy, hopes of romance and all of the usual PG rated things. However the smiles quickly fades as they learn that a new camp, Camp Star (I know they really killed themselves with innovation) across the lake wants to compete with them. On top of it they even convince Camp Rock staff and campers to come over to their camp.

Major pressure is put on Camp Rock to stay open and not least the sing off with Camp Star in the end of the summer.

Different from the first movie the sequel hoped to become a "real" musical movie with the characters unaturalisticly breaking out in song every other minute. With the 90 minute movie crammed with songs, it has left almost nonexistent space for a story, character personalities or even dialogue for that matter. I don't think any character spoke for more than 3 minutes at a time. Seriously.

When the first movie failed to convince us that Shane (Joe Jonas) and Mitchie (Demi Lovato) were actually romantically interested in each other. Apparently when the real world see friendship the Disney world see boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationship. The sequel also failed to show their romance until the very last ten minutes of the movie givng us all a "Oh, they are not siblings"-moment.

Although I personally thought the Nate (Nick Jonas) and Dana (Chloe Bridges) were super cute, this relationship also lacked affection and any kind of reality anchoring.

To be honest if a movie could possibly be any more shallow than Camp Rock 2, it shouldn't be classifed as a movie.

As dorky as it gets

Sometimes my nerdiness even surprises me.

First surprise: I see a mother with a 4 year old holding fabricbag with the Camp Rock2 logo, I almost hyperventilated (You must believe me when I say I actually don't like Camp Rock, so I don't know where this behaviour comes from either) I (almost) storm up to her and ask her where she got the bag. Second surprise: I actually track down the place the mother told me she'd gotten the bag. Third surprise: Although there were only 8 and 9 year olds taking pictureswith these giant paper Jonas-and-Demi cutouts I just had to take a picture too (I mean they gave you the bag and printed the picture out for you and)

And on top f that, I went to the Rix FM concert to watch all of these teenyboppy artists, and on top of THAT I even waited until Eric Saade to perform before I went away.

Wow, Tiffany this time you really outnerd yourself.

Sincerely Yours,

Tiffany
