Super Predictable, But Not Entirely that Bad
Camp Cool Kids is another cringeworthy camp tale landing on an extremely typical misfit dealing with overused "face your fears" messages. Families with small children might find a lot of comfort, if they mainly appreciate a bright, fun and charming camp comedy targeted on bullies and buddies. On the other hand, it's too much of a cringey character-journey for teen viewers.
Although it's bright and visually fun, there's a massive overload of three main ideas: overcoming worries, dealing with bullies, and the most boring one, getting the girls. The misfit kid predictably attracts the girls with his personality, whilst being encouraged by his friends to form some sort of romance. Camp Cool Kids is also another average family film that features facing your fears, making friends and dealing with other idiots at camp in a highly unsatisfying context.
But for its leading themes, it surprisingly does pretty well. Again, this is a great movie to choose for a young kids' family movie night. If anything could've been notably changed, some of the acting could've been better. The characters are actually quite likeable and touching, but the lead performance needs much improvement. And there's the satisfactory happy-ending!
