Salute Your Tight Shorts: Camp Rock Is a Hit
Camp Rock, the Disney Channel original musical bubblegum movie that premiered this weekend (Friday on Disney Channel, Saturday on ABC, Sunday on ABC Family) to nearly 9 million viewers. This makes it the 2nd highest rated of any Disney Channel movie in the history of the waxy genre. This ought to make advertisers, who so stuffed their spots into the broadcast that a 90-minute movie ran for two and a half hours, quite happy. Expect a bloated, even worse sequel in which teen pop rock band/sexual gateway drug for millions of young girls (and, probably, some boys) the Jonas Brothers, who starred in this first go around, make a winky cameo and then disappear. The film's "breakout star" Demi Lovato, who has an annoying face and needs to stop smiling, should look forward to some mild Miley Cyrus-lite fame before, like bug juice at a hot end-of-summer dance, she quickly disappears.
