# Theater Camp (2023)

Jan 3, 2024 | Rated 3.5 out of 5 | Dir. Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman

How do you say, this movie really snuck up on me. I had super low expectations going in, but I honestly cried during the final song. It’s impossible not compare this to a certain Christopher guest documentary, but I thought it held its own.

I thought the second act dragged a little bit, and suffered from a comment issue with comedies today, but get too sad for it to be funny. But the first and the third act were wonderful
