Camp Rock came out in 2008 as a vehicle to launch the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato into teen pop music stardom with Disney and Disney Channel. While this first film kicked off a franchise that continues to this day, the first movie was a low budget attempt at mixing together tropes from other movies about summer camp and performing arts. Let's dive in to the most cringe moments of this DCOM classic, and look at ways this movie is derivative of other classics like Camp (2003) and Raise Your Voice. Are you a fan of this movie also starring Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Alyson Stoner? As always, don't forget to like and subscribe! Watch CAMP ROCK on Amazon: amzn.to/3hmQ7Ic (Affiliate)

I always felt bad for Kevin having to play the dumb one in all of his Disney roles. It's almost if someone said, "What is Joe's best quality? He's hot and confident, okay he can be the heart throb. What about Nick? He's definitely the smart and sensitive one. And Kevin? Uh...hm... I guess we need a dumb one." In the most recent Jonas Brothers karaoke carpool, Kevin is so funny and comes across as smart, not to mention handsome. Disney really did him dirty.

[@SavannahThomas-gu7pm]

It's because his name is Kevin

[@sunrope77]

Hello I found it interesting how they decided to make Kevin the dumb one in so many Disney projects when in their earlier cameo in Hannah Montana, Nick was the dumb one. He was just as capable of fulfilling that role and I’m curious to know why Disney decided to switch it around after that.

They could’ve easily made a more use of Sierra’s character by having Mitchie ask her to pretend to be her fake mom. She could’ve sprinkled in more of the Chinese words in a fake phone call to try and add validity to her story for the new ‘cool’ friends. Like maybe if Mitchie calls Sierra and asks which boutique she got the piece from, and having Sierra repeat the Chinese phrase instead, then it would’ve been a clearer callback too.

[@sophiagoodman-merel7453]

That really would have been better

[@emmavincent2048]

[@yonicorn1641]

Or like having Sierra sent her a postcard from chinese summer camp and lying it's from her mom in China or smth

[@codezero7981]

there are many great Camp Rock fanfics out there that go more in depth about Mitchie's backstory and her friendship with Sierra and how she's the shy girl in her school, they really should have explored that more.

[@larabellll]

I’m from this small small Ontario town where my elementary school was literally in a corn field and the classes were 10-20 people each (80 people in the whole school 💀) and this 1 kid was a dancer that everyone would make fun of ............ BUT then..... plot twist...... he really showed all the hicks because he is one of the background dancers in Camp Rock!!!! A true celebrity

[@mollyfoxxx]

A true celebrity, lol

[@Zulf85]

That in itself sounds like the plot of a dcom lol

[@tiffanyn.3097]

Did they cast a lot of people from Canada in general because I found out that Peggy is Canadian as well

[@larabellll]

Tiffany N. yes !!!! It was filmed in Canada 🇨🇦 at a YMCA camp in Ontario, so I think they cast a lot of the extras and side characters from there!!!

[@suzannemarroncelli8357]

That's like the girl in my highschool thats Dad had some vague connection and do she got to be an background extra in The Truman Show. I mean it's a good movie, but she finished every sentence mentioning it. I see you Karly.

[@laurag3061]

The abundant classism in this movie is so wild. Like I feel like that scene where Tess is calling out Mitchie and Jo Jonas gets mad... As soon as he finds out, she's poor, he assumes she's using him.

[@zinaverde5577]

They definitely should’ve turned that into a better lesson then of course blaming the less fortunate person and being all like “omg just be yourself”

[@constantdisappointment5658]

And Shane, *shockingly*, is absent for the cafeteria scene where Tess bullies Mitchie for her mom. Not lying, not being untrue to herself, but for the thing she knew she'd get judged for. It's almost like the camp's big celebrity is out of touch with the rest of the world

[@aki9059]

Probably because a lot of people are like that, you can’t really blame him for thinking that.

[@codezero7981]

sadly a lot of people are like that in high school, when u get caught up in a lie almost everyone is against you.

[@MissCaraMint]

I mean Mitchie did make up a huge elaborate lie. I'm pretty sure if I had found out a friend had basically lied about their entire life to me I'd be a bit hurt. Yes there is classism in this movie, but that doesnt' mean Jo has no right to be upset that she lied to him.

[@WolverineLovesMe]

The most glaring issue with Camp Rock to me is how they clearly set up Tess doing the most obvious move of stealing Mitchie's song and then just don't do it?? Like she figures out it's Mitchie, takes the lyrics, and then decides to pay homage with her song instead? It confused me so much as a kid and I STILL can't figure out why they bothered to set up that scene for no payoff.

[@sweetly1634]

Yeah I know right! My only thought is that she felt threatened by finding out Mitchie was the one Shane was looking for, so decided to pretend she stole the bracelet so she wouldn't be able to perform the song in Final Jam... but it was definitely set up that she would steal the song

[@Summer510]

Sweetly Honestly, I think your theory is spot on!

[@codezero7981]

she probably realized she couldn't hit Mitchie's high notes and Shane would have figured she was NOT the girl with the voice lol..

[@lucasouza889]

she didnt plan on stealing the song, she just realized the song was good and demi was going to perform it and win, so she wanted to stop it.

[@kaz1819]

That is a missed opportunity from some great plot. Please re-write Camp rock.

[@marianne5055]

Would Tess even need Camp Rock? I mean, if her mom is some super famous pop star she can probably get a recording contract easily. Hollywood is full of nepotism afterall.

[@DeathnoteBB]

From what I remember of the movie it seems like Camp Rock is some prestigious music-based camp. That’s why everyone looks down on the main character cause she was related to and helped someone who worked there (rather than just having the money to go with no obligations to work)

[@DeathnoteBB]

Fuck I forgot to say but my point was, basically it looks good, and helps the kid make friends/build connections. Plus maybe the mom genuinely wanted her kid to learn stuff to become successful on her own merit.

[@marianne5055]

@@DeathnoteBB I get its prestigious, but it still seems..idk weird to me. Like, she's jealous of Mitchie hanging out with Shane Gray when she herself probably knows or at least has met a lot of famous people herself. I just can't imagine that she's actually learning a lot from this camp when she's probably has had a lot more hands-on learning from being around her mom. Or if you were serious about learning you would like go to Juillard. But I get it, its a disney channel movie and they need to have some stereotypical popular mean girl.

[@DeathnoteBB]

Marianne I mean, maybe it’s not the same kind of tropes but it reminds me of anime like Kakerugui and Shokugeki no Soma. There’s a new kid from no where who’s actually _really good_ and the more famous and well-off characters hate them.

Im confused about how her mom said business is slow in the summer. For a catering business? Summers when all the party happens. Sounds like her business isn't doing well at all and she's looking for excuses.

I was never a huge Camp Rock fan in high school at all, I fell in the "trying to be hardcore listening to metal" group, but a friend of mine won tickets to the pre-premiere of Camp Rock 2 in the Netherlands and I begrudgingly went with her, and I will treasure that memory forever.

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

Oh my goodness

[@lauracorbett4577]

@TheTentacledMenace I've been a fan ever since Camp Rock 1 and 2 ever since they both come out and I only watch them because of my favorite actress Jasmine Richards (Who plays Peggy) I love her

[@MakaykayLAMB]

One thing that's for sure? Demi can SANG. From the minute I saw her on As The Bell Rings with her guitar and her gap. First girl I ever saw on Disney who was like me, she sang AND she had a gap. LOVED her.

I also remember when she performed the first time on As The Bell Rings!! I thought oh she’s really bringing it!

[@Stopfollowingmeplz8]

I always justified the weird catering thing as Connie and the dad lying to surprise her about getting to go to the camp after the last day of school (that way it's a surprise and also she doesn't get so focused that it distracts her from school)

My mom did this to me with one direction concert tickets I went to school thinking I wasn’t going and got picked up early to be told we were going

I was so obsessed with camp rock that I convinced my teacher in 7th grade that I had to sing "this is me" in the school talent show because it was a song about god loving who we really are (I went to a religious school). I dressed like a bootleg jonas brother and sang both mitchie and Shane's part 😂😂😂😂 and I do not regret this one bit.

I have been in exactly one school food fight. I saw someone flip over and enormous lunch table alone and used is as cover like in a call of duty video game.
