Movie Review: "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam"

Now that I have told you all about my "Camp Rock 2" adventure, and the movie comes out tomorrow, September 3rd, I thought I'd write a little review about the Disney movie.

"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" leaves off pretty much where the first "Camp Rock" ended. Mitchie Torres (played by Demi Lovato) and rock star Shane Gray (played by Joe Jonas) are crazy in love and can't wait to build a stronger romantic relationship over the summer. Everything goes off to a great start with the song "Brand New Day", but little does Camp Rock know that there's a new rival in town: Camp Star. Run by rivals of Camp Rock's owner, Camp Star is all about professionalism and making it in the music business. Camp Star even goes so far as to letting anyone at Camp Rock come and be a counselor for higher pay.

As the two camps soon become rivals, Mitchie decides that the camp needs to do something and soon starts the song "Can't Back Down". Mitchie, Shane, and the rest of their friends volunteer to be the counselors and basically take over all of the camp's activites, with Mitchie being in charge. She feels that the camp must work non-stop to prepare for Camp Wars, a televised performance battle between the two camps.

While Shane tries to get Mitchie away from her busy schedule, Nate (portrayed by Nick Jonas) finds a new love in his life, Dana. Dana (played by Chloe Bridges) is a top pianist at Camp Star. But there's a catch: she's the owner's daughter. Nate constantly spies and sneaks across the lake to see her. He even writes her a song called "Introducing Me". The two have amazing chemistry and remind me of how Mitchie and Shane's romance started.

When Camp Wars finally comes, the heat is on. Both camps give a stunning performance, but only one can win.

Overall, this movie is definitely better than the first one. The songs have matured with the performers and there is a ton of dancing. The story has a great message that reaches all ages. And the best thing about this movie, unlike the first (SPOILER ALERT), Mitchie and Shane FINALLY kiss!

Sorry, but I just had to put that in there.

So, tomorrow, gather around and have a "Camp Rock 2" party because, just like their song, "It's On!"
