Disney #MagicCamp DisneyPlus #MovieReview I thought I had this movie figured out. I was glued to it from beginning to end. Theo has a lot to overcome and work on. The main character in the film allows us to see his journey and learn his story. His mother, Zoe, is one of the most amazing characters and made me start ugly crying. Yes, Chelsea Gilbow laughed at me. But overall this is so worth watching. I really enjoyed this and would watch it again.

This movie was a bad recreation of School of Rock with magic instead of music. From the washed up teacher, misfit kids, kid that wants to do costumes, big finale, teacher change of heart, etc etc. Just watch School of Rock again instead. It's better.

I can tell you with almost complete certainty that I would have loved "Magic Camp" if I was a kid. I think most people are fascinated by magic tricks or illusions at some point in their lives, especially in our youth. The movie plays it pretty safe in terms of the story and I have definitely seen this sort of premise before, but its light and fun for the most part. As an adult, the main aspect that drew me to it was some of the recognizable cast members. I thought the actors had fun making this movie and did an okay job portraying the one-dimensional characters they were given. Some of the attempts at humor are clearly more geared for younger audiences, so the jokes are hit or miss. Nonetheless, this is a harmless and family-friendly diversion that can probably appeal to a wide age range.

This definitely must see and it is funny, witty and smart. This original movie from Disney+ it does have that Disney Channel vibes especially good lesson to have fun, be yourself and move on from someone died. Learn how to care on your legacy and why we always remember why love what we do. Plus a cool magic tricks and kids and adults are good actors and this especially a good time watch during the Halloween or Summer or without singing like watching "Camp Rock". I give a A+

A Disney+ release about a washed up magician that teaches the next generation of magic misfits at summer magic camp. Overall this film at first feels like a Disney Channel movie without much of a budget. The characters do grow on you and the finale makes this film worth watching. Isabella Crovetti plays a bunny obsessed girl that was the highlight of the film for me. Jeffrey Tambor also plays a great mentor and owner of the magic camp. I think there is enough good stuff here to recommend a viewing.

Magic Camp can't conjure up enough zing to put on the kind of show they deserve, something weird, something different, something even a little bit magical.

Cinemalogue

There's nothing magical about this strained comedy, which is predictable even for the least discerning viewers in its preteen target demographic.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Equally inoffensive and unremarkable, Magic Camp is likely to vanish amongst the plethora of superior Disney+ titles.
