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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk 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 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson 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 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Dana Stevens Slate Achieves the rare trick of creating a fictional work-within-the-work that is supposed to be really good, and actually is. Dec 13, 2023 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension It’s painful to watch a comedy reach to grasp aren’t jokes that aren’t worth it. Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This is completely ridiculous but very accurate to the world of theater. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Rated: 3/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Angelica 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Alex If you have ever been involved in theatre this is a must watch! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Eva Diva So funny, sweet!!! A great story-stellar acting with many fab characters!!! See it!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Lena The movie was laugh out loud funny, although I would have liked for there to have been more character development of the theatre students. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Charles D I laughed harder at this movie than any other this year Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Kevin Absolutely incredible! I can’t wait to watch it again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
