A story of impossible redemption, feminine power, and duels that repeat themselves like cursed cycles.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

Miami Herald by Connie Ogle

At the film's uplifting conclusion, when a stilled voice finally makes itself heard, you can unmistakably feel your heart lift, as if it had grown tiny wings. Camp reminds you that once you believed it would always soar, just like that.

88

Boston Globe by Ty Burr

A comedy, and for all its cliches and clumsiness, close to a great one.

88

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

A summery confection crammed with fresh young talented faces that's hard not to love.

80

Film Threat by Rich Cline

This is the kind of film you can watch over and over again on several levels, especially as you mine the script for knowing jokes about the theatre (it's packed with them).

Newsweek by David Ansen

A hilarious, rousing musical comedy set at a summer camp where NOBODY plays sports and EVERYBODY worships Stephen Sondheim.

75

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach

It's impossible not to be exhilarated by the energy and determination that infuses every frame.

75

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers

The modestly perfect antidote to a synthetic, overblown movie summer: a blast of exuberant fun that stays rooted in humanity.

70

Washington Post by Ann Hornaday

Spiked with some genuine show-stopping musical numbers, and the sheer pluck of its young cast is nothing if not admirable.

Dallas Observer by Robert Wilonsky

"Meatballs" handled the sleep-away sex stuff better; here it feels like filler between the killer musical numbers that make even special guest Stephen Sondheim smile on his way out the door.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

A crude but irresistibly effervescent movie cut from the same sequined cloth as "Fame," Camp couldn't be better timed to ride the coattails of "Chicago" to cult popularity.
