Review of Boot Camp (2008) by Jie A — 16 Sep 2008
Mila Kunis has come a long way from Jackie, the spoiled brat in That 70's Show. Here she plays Sophie, a spoiled brat who is sent to what seems to be a reputable reform camp. I'm not certain as to why this camp is such an awful place.
I mean, besides the one bad apple "camp counsellor???", it seems like a great place for these spoiled rotten asshole teens to learn real life, and to grow up, plain and simple. Maybe Sophie doesn't belong there.
Maybe she does. I don't know. They don't really explain much, except that she hates her step dad, occasionally puffs the ganja, and throws a fake tantrum in the CD store where her boyfriend works.
What I do know is that there are lots of skrewed up kids out there, mostly as a result of their upbringing, and they need some sort of program that will set them straight, before it's too late. SPOILER: The best part is the text at the end.
It talks about real life boot camps, claiming that there is no real statistics about these camps. Seems to me like not enough research was put into this movie.
