    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Fritzi reintroduces herself to Jill at the start of the movie and Jill fails to remember her, Fritzi reminds Jill that the previous summer, they had been in the play "'night, Mother" together. The joke is that "'night, Mother" only has two actors in it, and is an extremely intense, wrenching, emotional experience (it is about an adult daughter preparing her elderly mother for the fact that the daughter is going to commit suicide), so there is no way that Jill could have forgotten having already met Fritzi without Jill being incredibly self-absorbed.
    • Goofs
      When Fritzi insults the fat girl they are discussing casting of "Promises, Promises", but that had already been settled earlier. The same problem comes up during what appears to be auditions for "Follies", which was also already settled (during the cast sheet montage, we see that the role of Carlotta, who they are singing for, has already been cast).

      Bert: I'm gonna call it off.

      Glen: I think you'd better.

      Fritzi: Wait!

      Bert: Fritzi, what in the hell are you doing here?

      Fritzi: Well I... I knew you'd be discussing stopping the show and I just thought how disappointed all the kids would be after...

      Bert: You scheming little bitch!

      Fritzi: Oh please! I'm a child.

      Bert: If you think for one...

      Fritzi: Oh save the speech, rummy. She's fucked, I'm ready, and the goddamn show must go on. So let's get cracking, shall we?

    A Star is Born and her name is Anna Kendrick
    I learned about this movie the way most Anna Kendrick fans learn about it as her first film. Anna Kendrick is one of my all-time favorite actors, and seeing her so young in this indie film was pretty cool. And even though her part is rather small, you can tell that she was born to be a star even though her role is rather small. Camp follows a group of kids at an acting summer camp over the course of the summer. It's basically like any other summer camp with the same clichés. The only difference is that this film is focused on kids who are gay/ coming to terms with their sexuality. Other than that, the plot is kind of disconnected and all over the place, as a lot of random things happen without much explanation. But at its core, it is a movie about accepting yourself and coming to terms with who you are. Overall, it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't great either. The acting was a bit wooden at times, and the actors often rushed their line outside of Anna Kendrick, who killed it. In fact, Anna Kendrick actually made the other actors look worse because she was so good. Not only was her acting the best, but her singing was the best too. The way she was able to not only sing amazingly but also portray the emotion that Fritzi's character is going through is simply amazing. And it was worth watching for the scene where Anna sings alone. Watching Anna in this movie was like watching Lebron James play basketball with a bunch of high school kids, which makes me wonder why she didn't have a bigger role. You think that the director would've seen that she was the most talented one on set and used that to their advantage, especially since her character, Fritzi's story, is kind of left open to interpretation. Like, is she gay? I know a lot of the Kendrick Fandom has read her character that way, but I would've liked to have seen it made more explicit, especially since there were already a plethora of openly gay characters. What would one more hurt? And what happened to her at the end? They could've explored Fritzi's character way more, and the movie would've been way better, especially since the lead characters weren't that interesting. And after seeing the whole movie, I didn't really like Vlad. However, I will say the movie definitely got better as it got going. However, the film spread itself a little too thin by trying to hit on too many social issues and had too many characters. This resulted in a lot of underdeveloped ideas. Like the girl who had her mouth wired shut and skipped fat camp didn't even look overweight like she was normal size. So every time they talked about her going to fat camp, I just laughed. And I feel like they never really knew what they wanted from Vlad, which made him unlikeable to me. However, I look at this as a kid's movie with LGTBQ themes, so it is best not to think too deeply about it. And if it helps someone feel more comfortable in their own skin, that is all that matters. All in all, Anna Kenrick was by far the best part of it, and I would recommend her performance alone.
