Horrific Actress
In that trivial 1990 TV movie Camp Cucumonga, or How I spent my summer vacation or whatever the hell it was called. I remember loving that flick as a kid. Watching clips of it on Joblo right now and seeing that terrible yet horrendously catchy rap song the campers come up with in the end...I cry for my childhood. I guess that's just how things like that go though. It seems everyday I'm seeing a film I used to love as a kid that I now think is terrible and in the process think lesser of myself for ever having liked it. But then I remember that as a kid I had different standards and ideals. Taste in movies didn't compute. I think this movie appealed to me then because it reminded me of how fun camp had been for me the previous summer. It also reminded me of Ernest goes to Camp, another favorite of mine from that time that I close to despise now. But anyway though, back to the point, Danica playing that stupid typecast emo character and being so damn sarcastic about everything would have worked for me if she could act her way out of a paper bag (I know that's overused and all that jazz but what the hell, I like it). Every line she delivers is flat and just...bad. I'm not sure what this has to do with her as an actress as this is the only thing I've ever seen her in (I didn't see whatever show it was in that was so big and I must have missed those episodes of Boy Meets World she was in). This is the character I remember her for. She was gorgeous sure, but horrible. Of course I don't know why I expected anything else out of the movie. Just felt like wasting time and mentioning it.
This is the American Dream in action
