Scout Camp

As a veteran of the terrible Mormon flick Suddenly Unexpected, it was unexpected that any movie could match the atrocity contained within that film. Suddenly, along came Scout Camp. This movie not only holds the title of worst Mormon film in existence; it is also a candidate for worst movie ever made. It seems as though the casting director thought they could distract the audience from the horrendous script and visibly low budget with two leads who were in decent movies in the past (Kirby Heyborne of Saints and Soldiers; Shawn Carter of High School Musical). Of course, for most of the movie Kirby looks ridiculous and very distracting sporting two band-aids over his eyebrows, and Shawn Carter is not a name any one would recognize from the HSM series, so the attempt was in vain. The movie's highest accolade would be that it looks like something made at a Scout Camp by scouts in one week. But then again, that would be insulting to those, like myself, who earned the cinematography merit badge at a scout camp and came away with semi-decent movies. Certain scenes in Scout Camp have unnecessary camera angle changes that make me want to throw up. Did I say certain? I meant all of them. It gives the impression that they made most of the story up as they went along, probably each morning loading the young actors with tons of sugar hoping they'd do something funny in a hyper frenzy. Sorry Scout Camp, but your reputation, much like the Fire Dragons', is ruined.
