Camp Rock (Extended Rock Star Edition)

Description

Product Description Teen pop idols the Jonas Brothers make their feature debut in Disney's CAMP ROCK, a Cinderella tale with a rock & roll twist. Golden-voiced, working-class beauty Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) has only one desire: to spend the summer at Camp Rock, a prestigious musical retreat for budding stars. The wish is granted when her mom gets a job as the camp's cook, but in order to join the ranks of the popular girls, she must obscure her less-than-regal roots. As the summer wears on, Mitchie is torn between who she is and who she's pretending to be, an artistic crisis of identity that endears her to the similarly-conflicted boy band superstar, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas). Director: Matthew Diamond Star: Nick Jonas, Alyson Stoner, Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato, Paul Kevin Jonas, Special Features: Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.78 Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround English Interactive Features: Sing-Along and Karaoke Mode Text/Photo Galleries: CAMP MEMORIES - Candid Shots of Your Favorite Characters Running Time: 90 minutes .com Camp Rock is a Disney Channel original movie about a rockin' teen summer camp that's highly appealing to tweens and young teens despite the movie's failure to favorably compare with truly great Disney Channel movies like High School Musical. Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers stars as Shane Gray, a member of the rock band Connect 3, who is compelled to serve as an instructor at Camp Rock in order to counteract his increasingly negative public image. Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin) is the camp diva whose self-absorption defies description, Caitlyn (Alyson Stoner) is a past Tess groupie who's now ostracized from the popular kids at camp, and Mitchie (Demi Lovato) is a camp newcomer whose mother is the camp cook. Caitlyn initially befriends Mitchie, but the friendship wanes when Mitchie makes up an elaborate story about her family to get accepted into Tess's exclusive clique. As Mitchie struggles to maintain her façade around camp, Shane begins to reform his bad-boy ways and find his own personal voice and he and Mitchie become friends--unfortunately, their new relationship is based partially on Mitchie's lies. In the end, Mitchie's deception is exposed as is Tess' true villainy and the perfect summer camp experience threatens to turn into the worst summer ever for everyone involved. Camp Rock is infused with lots of energy, fun choreography, and a ton of good, if not particularly memorable, music. Add in the cast of generally unlikable characters with extreme characteristics whose changes of heart at the end of the film are not particularly believable, and Disney's got an entertaining film for tweens and teens that adults might just as well skip. --Tami Horiuchi
