There was very little to enjoy about this movie - the previews were very enticing but the actual film was very disappointing. It was as if someone at Disney picked up discarded Jonas and Sonny with a Chance scripts and combined them into one convoluted mish-mash and called it Camp Rock 2. The story kept swinging from one scene to the other without interconnecting threads. Many story lines were simply left hanging altogether, especially the ending!
The character of Mitchie has grown up since Camp Rock - into a bossy little bee! There's no sympathy factor - you really don't WANT her to win because she's so unpleasant. One minute she's throwing a hissy fit and then they cut to scenes of her suddenly smiling and laughing with Shane - how'd that happen? Someone needed to give her a comeuppance but it never happened. I really disliked her character immensely!
The trouble with this film is that you never got to actually "know" any of the characters, with the exception of Nick Jonas' (as told in song). Why is Matthew Finley's character so obnoxious? Where is Peggy, the winner of the first Final Jam (she's barely there)? And talking about the Final Jam - both acts were flat - there was no "wow" factor at all - this was supposed to be a contest to blow everyone away and both numbers were amateur hour feats!
The only positives I can find is the interaction of Kevin Jonas and the kids - I wish they'd shown more of that, as it added sorely lacking heart to the film. And that's my three cents.
