Critics Consensus

Theater Camp's authentic depiction of the theater experience may not resonate as strongly with non-actors, but they'll probably be laughing too hard to seriously complain.

Audience Says

Theater Camp is a decently funny mockumentary that'll get its biggest laughs from viewers who know the backstage life.

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

Rated: 4/5

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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

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

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.

I did not enjoy the movie. I only liked the parts of some of the kids singing. This is pure comedy and silly in almost every scene. Also the cinematographer (shot in the style if The Office) annoyed me. If you enjoy this type of comedy it may be for you but it just wasn't for me.

The movie was laugh out loud funny, although I would have liked for there to have been more character development of the theatre students.
