We have here a musical film with an overproduced soundtrack, whose story is about _\*checks notes\*_ Camp Rock's rivalry with an "overproduced ego factory" across the lake. Ha. Irony. Again. At least this time the story's better overall. Plenty of "why'd they _do_ that?!" to go around still, in both the musical arrangements and story choices for various characters—especially the method by which Connect 3's bus wound up waterlogged… there were still two intact axles on that side! ---- Surely there were more musical nods than what I caught, but: * Nate's solo to Dana is absolutely a pseudo-clone of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in style * Camp Star's final number starts off with an intro undeniably similar to EXO's "Growl" (으르렁) This being a Disney production, it's even odds whether they intentionally cloned popular tracks, and also even odds whether they licensed anything or banked on the Mouse's sheer size to deter litigation.
