History YMMV / Camp2003

* HilariousInHindsight: It is a bit humorous that Anna Kendrick would later star in a movie with [[AnnaCamp Anna]] CAMP.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: By all means the casts' cover of Music/ToddRundgren's classic "The Want Of A Nail" performed at the end of the film. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUajIPRcGhs It's a high energy and all round fun rendition of an already great song, that not only stands up well in it's own right, but also ends the film on a great note.]]

--> '''Chorus''': "Hey! Do you wanna come out
--> and play the game?
--> It's never too late!" ''(repeat several times)''

* FairForItsDay: The movie was groundbreaking at its release for having so many [[CastFullOfGay relatable teenage gay characters]] and telling a realistic story about pursuing a career in theatre, but its portrayal of the selfish and narrow-minded Vlad as the hero, [[MiseryPoker comparing having OCD to being gay-bashed]] and [[NoBisexuals bi erasure]] subplot is a lot less progressive-looking to today’s youth.

** After an altercation with alcoholic composer Bert Hanley, cool-kid Vlad finds copies of sheet music for songs he wrote outside his one major Broadway show, which he is then quick to photocopy and share with his friends. One of them is "Century Plant."[[[note]]which is really a song by folksinger Victoria Williams off her 1994 album ''Loose''[[/note]] When Bert Hanley hears the kids perform his song, he furiously crumples up the photocopies of sheet music, throws them away, and sulks outside the shed for several minutes. Sure enough, the strength at which the kids sing his catchy, life-affirming chorus, along with the vocal harmonies they make up, are enough to send him running back in and jamming full-force with the cast.

* HollywoodHomely: Joanna Chilcoat has said that Ellen’s character description in the script said she was [[HollywoodPudgy “chunky,”]] and she almost cries when she’s called “pretty,” but she doesn’t look that different from any other girl at the camp. She’s also so desperate for a prom date that she gets rejected by her own brother and agrees to go out with him even after he treats her callously throughout the movie. The lack of previous male attention may be more due to her being a “theatre freak,” than due to her being unattractive, but it’s still a little hard to believe.

* HollywoodHomely/HollywoodPudgy: Ellen’ character description in the script said she was “chunky,” and she almost cries when she’s simply called “pretty,” but she doesn’t look that different from any other girl at the camp.

* HollywoodDateless: Ellen is so desperate for a prom date that she gets rejected by her own brother. She’s also amazed that Vlad could ever like her and agrees to go out with him even after he treats her callously throughout the movie.
