Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Crowning Music of Awesome: "Linger" by The Cranberries and "The Creator Has a Master Plan" by the Brooklyn Funk Essentials really stand out as gems in a movie that's filled with otherwise forgettable pop/rock.
Dennis' computer camp persona is named Mr. Wozniak.
Hollywood Pudgy: Gaby's mom wants to send her to a weight loss camp called Camp Slenderella, and later remarks during Parents' Day that the camp thinned her out. Actress Melody Kay was quite visibly NOT overweight at any point during the movie.
Values Dissonance: Audiences here in the 21st century would be incredulous that any parents would blindly send their children away to random summer camps without doing a little more research into said camps or the camp representatives that Van Welker claimed to be.
What an Idiot!: Had the kids followed The Con through to the very end and not started celebrating an early victory, they could have intercepted and sidetracked Polk at the front gate, and made sure that all the parents had gone, thus ensuring the success of the phony camp.
