It’s painful to watch a comedy reach to grasp aren’t jokes that aren’t worth it.

Lampooning big dreams and high melodrama, this comedy about the kids and counsellors at a stagey summer camp is charming, and brilliantly brutal.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

This is completely ridiculous but very accurate to the world of theater. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2024

This is a fun, enjoyable movie with some really strong comedic moments. There are some lulls in the story but I had a lot of fun with this, especially as a former theater kid myself. Molly Gordon did a great job with this film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2024

Mostly amusing and packing a couple good laughs, “Theater Camp” is neither the riot it might have been nor a total misfire.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 1, 2024

It is so incredibly accurate its frightening

The last number is so iconic its going to be a theater kids identity

Theater Camp came and reignited that feeling of having a fictional group of friends and supporters. It’s a great film on a rainy day.

...an affable, watchable mockumentary...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 19, 2024

Self-laceratingly funny, yet always human.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 27, 2023

Mostly improvised, it’s an amusing celebration of community seen through a song and dance lens as the chaotic but devoted staff at a summer camp instruct their dedicated young charges, ignore their own failings, and make sure that several shows go on.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 21, 2023

Heart-warming and utterly delightful.

Although not life-changing, it won't leave anyone indifferent; Theater Camp provides quality and entertainment. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 14, 2023

Achieves the rare trick of creating a fictional work-within-the-work that is supposed to be really good, and actually is.

| Dec 13, 2023

Nonetheless, there's charm, lightness, humanism, sympathy, and a carefreeness within the parody and satire of Theater Camp that is appreciated and, of course, enjoyed. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2023

... "Theater Camp" is a love letter to that specific experience, in all its bewildering narcissism, evoking one’s love of performance whether as someone on the stage or ensuring it all doesn’t fall apart from behind the scenes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2023

…, a well-observed look at the vanity and hubris of teachers attempting to put on a show at an upstate New York residential summer-school; it’s like Fame, or Glee, but much funnier…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2023

Taking on the gender-affirmative, happy-clappy bohemianism of upstate New York theatre, Gordon and Lieberman assemble an impressive ship of fools at whom to poke affectionate fun...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2023

The film’s creators love the theatrical arts. The movie is about children having their moment to sparkle. There are jokes aplenty, but they are from a perspective of adoration for what walking onto a stage and playing a character truly means.

| Sep 25, 2023

A self-deprecating satire of the theater community but also a love letter to that audience. Broadway veterans Ben Platt and Noah Galvin bring an authenticity to the story, while Jimmy Tatro brings the humor for those who might not be theater kids.
