Camp.

Bad points:

- Hideous lead portrayl from Daniel Letterle as Vlad. Surely vomit inducing.
- Weak writing in some spots. The writing is like a roller coaster, going up and looking good, then suddenly crashing down.

Good points:

-
All right, past those. 'Camp' is full of warming humor all throughout the film and is very very entertaining.
- The supporting performances are really quite good. My personal favorites were Sasha Allen as Dee, (With a completely KNOCKOUT voice.) Anna Kendrick as Fritzi (maniacal and the funniest of the movie) and Tiffany Taylor as Jenna (funny at the beginning and astounding at the end.)
- The musical numbers shine easily in this film. It's nice that they're already in the context of summer camp so they can sing at will. And, the musical numbers are done greatly, whether they're redone ("The Ladies Who Lunch" from Company or "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls) or original. (Standouts are "Century Plant" and the best song "Here's Where I Stand", below.)

Overall, a great time. If you can find it, check it out. 8/10.
