Been living under a rock, don’t know what Camp Rock is!

Haagh. I really am getting old. Apparently, on of the hit shows of the summer is Disney’s Camp Rock, outdrawing High School Musical, the previous summer’s hit, in the ratings.What is Camp Rock? I have no idea. I had to ask my 10 year old about it and I was told it stars the new Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato with the Jonas Brothers (who I only know from watching them on American Idol last season).

Here’s the gist of the TV Movie based on a review from the New York Times:

Mitchie (Demi Lovato) is desperate to go to a rich-kid rock ’n’ roll camp, but her family can’t afford it until her mother gets hired as the camp cook, entitling Mitchie to a discount. Also at the camp is a vain rock star (played by Joe Jonas) doing some image rehabilitation, as well as that insufferable diva (Meaghan Jette Martin). It’s a sort of glass-ceiling character for these movies and shows; either the writers of such stuff think that young viewers can’t handle anything more than blatantly obvious good-gal/bad-gal dynamics, or they have no idea how complex and varied real high school social life is.

In any case, Mitchie tries to hide her identity; the obligatory romance, food fight and climactic talent show come along on schedule; and some moderately catchy tunes and dance numbers are served up (many of them at the end, in that talent show).

Because of the show’s success, Disney is already working on the sequel, with the script already in development. They’re expecting to bring everyone from the principal cast back and production for it is targeted for spring or summer 2009.
