Review of Magic Camp

Magic Camp (2020)
7/10
Fun to watch
1 February 2022
Walt Disney Studios live-action comedy is "Magic Camp", which tells the story of how a group of misfit campers help a down-on-his-luck magician, played by Adam Devine, who rediscovers his love of magic.

Being honest, I wasn't expecting a massive amount from this film, as it was initially supposed to be released back in 2018.

However, I was wrong about "Magic Camp" being bad, as it's a fun light-hearted comedy. It isn't going to win any awards, it doesn't break any boundaries and certainly isn't a Disney classic, but I enjoyed it. In a time when we have very few movies being released, "Magic Camp" is at least something new, though maybe slightly forgettable.

The characters in this film are very one dimensional, especially the kids, who all play their role perfectly and all bring something interesting to the movie. These kids make the movie because they are outcasts, but together they become a team and while it's very clichéd, it's still fun to watch the kids grow in confidence and find themselves, throughout the film.

Adam Devine is an interesting choice as a lead actor on the film, as he often comes across more of the goofy sidekick character and is believable as someone who never quite got a break. However, the love interest storyline with Kristina Darkwood, was completely pointless and never went anywhere.

If you want a nice family-friendly movie to keep the kids entertained this weekend, "Magic Camp" shouldn't disappoint. I enjoyed it and feel it's worth adding to your watch list. It might not keep you laughing throughout, but its got a lovely heartwarming story that viewers will no doubt relate to. I doubt they'll want to watch it again, but with so few of these mid-tier movies released nowadays, "Magic Camp" does fit the bill, by keeping the family entertained.
