New York Post
A summery confection crammed with fresh young talented faces that's hard not to love. - 80
Newsweek
A hilarious, rousing musical comedy set at a summer camp where NOBODY plays sports and EVERYBODY worships Stephen Sondheim. - 70
The New York Times
A crude but irresistibly effervescent movie cut from the same sequined cloth as "Fame," Camp couldn't be better timed to ride the coattails of "Chicago" to cult popularity. - 70
Dallas Observer
"Meatballs" handled the sleep-away sex stuff better; here it feels like filler between the killer musical numbers that make even special guest Stephen Sondheim smile on his way out the door. - 70
Washington Post
Spiked with some genuine show-stopping musical numbers, and the sheer pluck of its young cast is nothing if not admirable. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
The pressure often shows: For all its charm, the dramatic moments are awkward and the final act feels rushed and under rehearsed. - 50
Village Voice
Camp is self-conscious when the teens aren't singing, but the quote marks fall away as soon as they lift their voices. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Has a good deal of the appeal, and the drawbacks, of a high school play. It can be pokey and overly earnest and its dramatics are not always polished, but, on the other hand, would you want them to be?
