Hilarious mockumentary that doesn't take itself too seriously
Having been personally unfamiliar with attending a theater camp, I fell in love with the vibrant atmosphere and joyful camaraderie exhibited throughout this mockumentary-style comedy. The young actors did a great job conveying their shared love of theater.
The real-life friendship between Ben Platt and Molly Gordon (who clearly had a blast acting as a hilariously weird camp counselor) jumped off the screen. Their chemistry was fantastic, and I never realized how funny and goofy Gordon could be.
Not to mention, Jimmy Tatro never fit into a role so perfectly. His standard character was hilarious to me every time he showed up. - martimusross - 12 December 2023
I loved It, But Then I Liked Glee!
Theater Camp
I loved it, it was a wonderful mockumentary, I agree it your not a fan of Glee this may not be for you, but for any budding musical performer or thespian this is a must see.
Whilst have a very light touch the movie touched on some very real themes of belonging and self-expression, and the quality of the musical performances were brilliant.
The script was tight as was the camerawork and I thought it was a deeply memorable performance with some really talented actors of the future.
I'm giving this a firm 8 outta 10, it was a personal project with a lot of love from beginning to end.
