Mitchie Torres is a
teenage girl obsessed with music. Her dream is to attend Camp Rock, a
prestigious summer camp which serves as a stepping stone for pop stars and
musicians. When her mother becomes the camp’s cook, Mitchie finally can make her
dream a reality. Mitchie meets an array of different kids, most of whom have a
famous parent or whose families are wealthy. Having difficulty making new
friends, Mitchie lies about having a famous mother. She gets caught up with a
materialistic crew, led by Tess Tyler, a famous singer’s daughter. Meanwhile,
boy band sensation Shane Gray is forced to teach at Camp Rock by his record
company as punishment for having a bad attitude. Shane takes an interest in
Mitchie and her talent. The situation gets rocky once the end of the summer
‘final jam’ show gets near. In the end, Mitchie learns that she must be true to
herself.
Although the love
story between Shane and Mitchie develops throughout the entire film, there is no
kissing or inappropriate content. When Shane’s brothers call him to check in on
the Camp Rock experience, they are seated by a pool with two unlabeled bottles
that appear to be beer and a smaller glass that looks like a shot glass.
However, it is never clear exactly how old the boys are and the brothers are
never portrayed as drunk. Mitchie lies about her mother is to impress the other
teens. Tess jealously bullies Mitchie.
Camp
Rock emphasizes the importance of being true
to yourself, being proud of who you are, having a good attitude, and following
your dreams. Even Tess learns in the end that material items aren’t everything,
and all she wants to do is make her mother proud.
The DVD also
contains bonus features including an extended never-before-seen ending, and "How
To Be A Rock Star," a series of tips and secrets from the Camp Rock cast
for aspiring teen singers.
Because of its
positive themes, the Parents Television Council awards Camp Rock with the
PTC Seal of ApprovalTM. The PTC recommends this DVD for
viewers age 6 and up.
