Camp Rock: Difference between revisions

[[File:camp-rock.jpg|frame]]

 

 

----

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The novelization for the first movie expands on a lot of characters motivations, fleshes out the romance and even gives [[Pet the Dog|Tess a happy ending]].

* [[Advertised Extra]] - Nick and Kevin Jonas' characters were heavily promoted due to the fact that their brother Joe plays main character Shane Gray. It becomes less so in the sequel.

* [[Billing Displacement]] - [[The Jonas Brothers]] were billed equally in the promos for the first film, despite the fact that Nick and Kevin only played minor characters. It's toned down in the second film where they get bigger parts and Nick's character even gets a love interest.

* [[Billy Elliot Plot]]

* [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Old Lady Out]]: While it outwardly appears to be a song about a relationship on the rocks, "Two Stars" can also be read as Tess calling out to her mother to pay attention to her for once.

* [[Can't Believe I Said That]]: Nate in the second movie, when Dana says she thinks he has pretty eyes. After she leaves:

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: [[The Jonas Brothers]] play their own as Connect 3.

* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Dana in the sequel

* [[Girl Posse]]: Peggy, Ella and briefly Mitchie.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Once again, Tess}}

* [[Informed Loner]]: Mitchie

** She was only meant to be a loner in the first movie.

* [[In Name Only]]: Camp Rock also teaches dance classes. Which is fine...until the sequel where we learn they also teach fashion design classes.

* [[Invisible Backup Band]]: A lot, most noticeably when Shane sings "Gotta Find You".

** Perhaps its best use is in the song "Introducing Me" where after the line "I like the sound of violins" violins begin backing the acoustic guitar being played by Nate.

* [[Jerkass]] - From the first film, Shane during the first act and Tess in both movies.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Tess basically bails on her friends for glitz, glamour, and air conditioned cabins. Keep in mind, these are the people who forgave her after she spent a whole movie treating them like crap, welcomed her as a friend with open arms, and [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again|never spoke of her previous unpleasant behavior again.]] She suffers ''no'' consequences for ditching them like that and leaving Camp Rock to flounder. Even though she makes a [[Heel Face Turn]] at the end ([[Aesop Amnesia|yes, again]]), it doesn't really do much to take the sting out of that.

* [[Power of Rock]]!

* [[Retcon]]: Camp Rock goes from 'elite music camp for the rich' to 'darkhorse camp with nothing good to offer' between movies.

** The first movie frames all the songs as performances while the second has them happen [[High School Musical]] style.

* [[Scholarship Student]]: How Mitchie is able to attend the camp. Her mother gets a job to cater the camp and Mitchie goes along.

** Somehow, it doesn't seem to be a coincidence that Brown's rival is named [[Kingdom Hearts|Axel]] Turner since [[Kingdom Hearts|Namine and Xion]] are both in the movie.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To the ''[[High School Musical]]'' franchise.

* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] - "Introducing Me" sounds suspiciously similar to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours".

** Jason Mraz has called them out on this.

** "Too Cool", as well.

* [[Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Tess. The reason for most of her [[Alpha Bitch]] behavior in the first film was {{spoiler|to be good enough that her Mom would finally pay attention to her. It hits her pretty hard when her Mom finally shows up to one of her shows and then walks out on her to take a phone call.}}
