At Camp Ovation, sports is a four-letter word. A gym teacher is as out of place there as a dance instructor at basketball camp. Based on his own experiences attending a summer musical workshop, "Camp" is screenwriter Todd Graff's directorial debut.

If you'd rather have poison ivy rash than listen to the songs of Stephen Sondheim, you'd probably better give this a miss: the folk at Camp Ovation revere him as a god.

Camp is all about the cathartic joy of performing. Fearlessly wearing its heart on its sleeve, it's the anti-Fame, and I think it has legs.

Camp may not be as slick as Fame, but it's twice as funny and loads more honest.

Todd Graff, better known as writer, makes a decent (but no more)directing debut with this mildly amusing but unoriginal indie about a bunch of gays and heteros putting on a show.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 26, 2012

One doesn't have to be a theater queen to appreciate Camp's humor, but it wouldn't hurt.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Apr 16, 2004

So chock-full of insider theater references that the film reads like a trivia contest held in the Acapulco Room on a cruise sponsored by Broadway.com

Lying somewhere between Fame and Meatballs, Camp unfortunately possesses neither the energy of the former nor the hilarity of the latter.

The highlights of the film are when the ostensible plotlines are dropped, and the truly talented kids get a chance to perform.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 18, 2004

Unfortunately, the showcase is rather truncated insofar as there is not much true talent on display.

| Original Score: D | Dec 31, 2003

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 6, 2003

Look past the ill-conceived story and this camp-y summer fling will have you theatre queens rolling in your seats and dancing in the aisles.
