I watched the first movie in 2010 when it first came out. It’s
only this year that I finally watched the sequel. The Camp movies follow
Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) as she goes to a summer camp called Camp Rock. Camp
Rock is a summer camp for aspiring entertainers. In the first movie, Mitchie
has a rival in talent, makes friends, gains confidence in herself and ends up
dating Shane Gray (Joe Jonas) from the fictional band, Connect 3 (played by the
real band, The Jonas Brothers).

Camp Rock 2 begins in the following summer. Mitchie returns
to Camp Rock and reunites with her friends and boyfriend Shane. Mitchie and
Shane are keen to reignite their relationship after maintaining a long distance
romance.

Meanwhile, a rival summer camp has just opened across the
lake. Camp Star is founded by Axel Turner (Daniel Kash); he is the former band
mate of Brown Cesario who would name
their kid brown? (Daniel Fathers) who owns Camp Rock. Axel is intent to run
Camp Rock out of business out of revenge for being kicked out the band many years
ago. Axel begins by poaching the Camp Rock staff by offering to double their
salary. He also entices the Camp Rock campers to switch camps as he is a record
producer who might sign them to his company.

Mitchie and her friends challenge the Camp Star campers to a
performance show down to see which camp is superior. Soon, all Mitchie has time
for is preparing for the competition. She pressures her friends to work hard
and forgo having fun. Mitchie’s relationship with Shane falters as she spends
all her time on the competition. As this is a Disney movie, all ends well.
Mitchie learns to have fun, her relationship with Shane is stronger than ever
and the camp is saved.
It’s been a long time since I watched the first movie so I
can’t say which Camp Rock movie is better. This was a nostalgia trip for me as
I remembered how this was the height of the Jonas Brother’s fame, Demi Lovato was
first starting out and the surprise hit that was High School Musical. Personally,
I think the High School Musical trilogy is better. I think they had a stronger
plot, better costumes, songs and sets.
This is a movie for kids so I didn’t expect great acting or
anything out of the ordinary. I thought the movie was cute and there were some
songs in it that I liked. I believe the other Jonas Brothers had more of a role
in this movie and it was nice to see them again.
I particularly liked these songs:
Introducing Me- Nate (Nick Jonas) is interested in Dana
Turner (Chloe Bridges) but he struggles to tell her about himself until he
writes a song.
Wouldn’t change a thing- A duet between Mitchie (Demi
Lovato) and Shane (Joe Jonas).
Tear it down – The show down song by Camp Star. This song
reminds me of 90s concert performances.
