- Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam - Extended Edition

Description

A summer spent at music camp is all about fun, friends, and making music together, and Mitchie (Demi Lovato) can't wait to return to Camp Rock to see her friends (Alyson Stoner, Meaghan Martin) and spend some quality time with Shane (Joe Jonas). Unfortunately, greed, rivalry, and the relentless pursuit of perfection threaten to sour the whole Camp Rock experience when the new Camp Star across the water lures many of the Camp Rock campers and counselors away. The new enterprise promises industry exposure and higher pay and then challenges Camp Rock to a high-stakes final jam challenge that threatens to put the camp out of business. Mitchie rises to the challenge and takes on a huge leadership role, finding replacement counselors and working to create a winning show for the final jam, but the pressure to win affects everyone's camp experience, making it less about fun and the enjoyment of music and more about winning the competition. It also leaves Mitchie and Shane with virtually no time to spend together. Camp Rock 2 has an abundance of good, memorable songs presented with lots of energetic choreography. The characters are generally more likable and believable than they were in the original Camp Rock , but the plot could be more engaging: while viewers will certainly root for Mitchie and the camp to succeed, neither Mitchie nor this film's new characters (Chloe Bridges, Matthew "Mdot" Finley) inspire a particularly overwhelming emotional investment. Nonetheless, tweens and teens will love Camp Rock 2 --they'll watch it repeatedly, memorize the words with the help of the rock-along special feature, and probably learn a few new dance moves.

In a sensational battle of the bands, with Camp Rock's future at stake, will Camp Star's flashy production and over-the-top antics win out, or will camp rockers prove that talent, teamwork, and spirit are what truly matter? Review: Better than the 1st! - Waaayyy better than the first one in my opinion. Demi Lovato seems more herself in this one, and it's reflective in the music. The central conflict is more established and dynamic with multiple sides and views, giving the movie all around a more rounded feel. The appearance of all the Jonas brothers was nice, and also helped with giving the movie more substance. The absence of the whole "I'm a good singer, but I'm not going to tell anyone and instead cause major issues because I can't speak for myself or be able to be myself and not part of the populars" really helped the movie too Review: Good Movie - I like sequels but this movie is more competitive than the first. Overall it is good though.
