I saw Theater Camp, starring Amy Sedaris-The Mandalorian_tv, Old Dogs; Jimmy Tatro-The Machine, Home Economics_tv; Ben Platt-Dear Evan Hansen, Ricki and the Flash and Molly Gordon-The Bear_tv, Love the Coopers.
This movie is based on the short film Theater Camp from 2020. It is ideal for people that love musicals or the theater life because it showcases the eccentric behavior of the teachers and students that immerse themselves in the arts. I know from personal experience because I used to date a girl that was a dance teacher. Amy runs a summer theater camp in upstate New York. During a rehearsal, Amy is engulfed in strobe lights, which puts her into a coma. Jimmy, her son, takes over running the camp but he has no background in theater, so he relies on some of the dysfunctional teachers, including Ben and Molly to run things. To makes things worse, the camp is facing financial problems and may be shut down unless Jimmy can raise some money. Everything counts on them putting on a grand play to save the day. Can they do it? If you don't know, you probably haven't seen many musicals.
It's rated PG-13 for strong language and drug references and has a running time of 1 hour & 32 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD but if you are the target audience, you will probably like it more than I did. It would be a good one to stream.
