a an adult viewer and i have to think back and view the movie through the eye of a teenager in order to appreciate it . and in do so and i thoroughly enjoy watch camp . some of the dialogue be awkward and and the story line do not always wrap up quite neatly and or at least not ideally . but that how life be and especially during the often awkward adolescent year and and the emotional realism be touch . though it lose momentum at time and the movie never lose my interest because of it strong character and great musical number and and it fanciful though a bit unrealistic depiction of this teen drama summer camp world that i barely know exist . and it a particular world that most people have never experience and but anybody who ever felt awkward a a teenager can relate to this movie . though never an aspiring actor or singer and i certainly relate and and i enjoy every minute of it . i be not quite sure if camp fit neatly into the musical genre and and i do not care . i do know that i couldn not even watch the first 10 minute of the new hairspray musical with john travolta . it repulse me . but i love camp and ( a i do dancer in the dark ) which in my non musical expert opinion and have too much music less dialogue and thankfully and to be consider a true musical . this favorable review of camp be from someone who generally hat musical .
