Questionable Things We Ignored In The "Camp Rock" Movies
As a teen movie, "Camp Rock" follows a pretty standard formula — a shy underdog is bullied by a group of popular mean girls and ultimately triumphs. We saw it in "High School Musical," "Mean Girls," "Heathers," and even "Grease." However, in "Camp Rock," the shy underdog is actually pretty mean herself. It turns out, the heroine of this film is an awful person.
First of all, she lies to everyone at camp about her mother, who is the camp's chef, because she's ashamed of her meager upbringing. And, she becomes obsessed with the idea of being popular. After making friends with Caitlin (played by Alyson Stoner), she promptly ditches her for Tess without even looking back. Plus, she moves into Tess's cabin, leaving her mom behind, too — after taking some of her clothes! Mitchie is supposed to be the film's leading lady, but when you really think about it, she doesn't really have that many good qualities as a person!
