A group of teenage theater aficionados
meet at Camp Ovation during summer vacation and live and learn and love and
perform. The plot revolves around a former Broadway songwriter forced to work at
the camp after a series of flops, who is inspired by the teenagers' enthusiasm
and decides to put together a new production. With Daniel Letterle, Joanna
Chilcoat, Robin de Jesus, Sasha Allen and Tiffany Taylor. Directed by Todd
Graff. [1:55]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A young woman lies on a bed, invites a young man to
join her, they kiss and lie back (we then see the light go off from the
outside). A young man kisses a young woman, climbs on top of her and they
continue to kiss. A young man and a young woman dance together, he thrusts his
hips toward her as a joke, they dance more, and he caresses her and they kiss. A
young woman jumps on top of a gay young man and kisses him. A young woman looks
at a young man admiringly and passes him a note. A young woman takes a shower
and sticks her head out from behind the curtain. A young man stands in front of
a gay young man and judging from his reaction he is nude (we see his bare
shoulders). A young man takes off his shirt and pants (we see his bare-chest and
his boxer shorts) and a young man is shown bare-chested in a couple of scenes:
in one scene he lifts his shirt to wipe his face and we see his bare abdomen and
chest while a gay young man admires him. Sexual innuendo includes: A gay young
man says to another young man "...you go in anybody's drawers you want," a young
woman says to a young man "you could be very lucky this summer," and a young gay
man flirts with another young man in several scenes. A young man dresses like a
woman. Young women wear short tops that reveal bare abdomens, low-cut tops that
reveal cleavage, and short shorts that reveal bare legs. A young woman wears an
off-the-shoulders dress.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - We see a young man (dressed like a woman) lying
on the floor while being kicked by several other young men, and see him later
with many bruises on his face and a bloody lip. A young woman puts something in
another young woman's drink that makes her ill (induces vomiting), and a young
woman puts something in another young woman's make-up that makes her skin break
out in a rash. A young woman's jaw is wired shut as part of a weight control
program. A young woman treats another young woman like a servant. A young woman
tosses another young woman down, and a young woman pulls another young woman off
stage and we hear crashing behind a curtain. A young woman slaps a young man in
the face. Two young women exchange barbs and insults, and two young women argue
over a young man. A man yells abusively at a young man and two young women, and
a man yells at a young man and gets in his face. A young woman vomits and we
hear splats and heaving, a man vomits on a young man and we see the goo and hear
him gagging. A young man practices appearing sad in front of a mirror and makes
remarks about his cat and mother being dead. A young man tackles another young
man and smacks his face as a joke.
