A spot-on and absolutely hysterical Christopher Guest-like take-down and celebration of theater kid culture, Theater Camp is warm-hearted yet scathing in its tongue-in-cheek self-critique of the absurd idiosyncrasies of the art form and its aficionados while never descending into outright mockery, resulting in a light and breezy night at the movies that even brought a tear to my eye a couple times.
Saw this on a whim with my 14 year-old. She’s a ballet dancer but totally connected to the “performance culture” aspect. Great movie for “artsy” families.
