- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenA crude but irresistibly effervescent movie cut from the same sequined cloth as "Fame," Camp couldn't be better timed to ride the coattails of "Chicago" to cult popularity.
- 70Dallas ObserverRobert WilonskyDallas ObserverRobert Wilonsky"Meatballs" handled the sleep-away sex stuff better; here it feels like filler between the killer musical numbers that make even special guest Stephen Sondheim smile on his way out the door.
