I suppose to premise this by saying that although not subscribed to Mamrie on YouTube (simply because I have yet to check out her videos), I am subscirbed to both Hannah and Grace, and enjoy both of their content.
I was wary when I downloaded Camp Takota, because seeing YouTubers outside of their usual environment can be a little uncomfortable as an audience member. However they all appeared to act a part which was bascially a different version of themselves. Grace with her weird but wonderful quirks, Hannah with her puns, cooking and alcohol and Mamrie with her enthusiasm and energy. There was great chemistry between them all, as to be expected, and they all did an extremely good job acting. And there were some brilliant one-liners interwoven into the movie.
However, overall the movie was clichéd. The plot was relatively simple and predictable. The sub-plot was rather clumsily managed and seemed to just be stuck in slightly oddly. The character developement of the protagonist was steady, but not exactly inspiring. The romance was cringe-worthy, although to be fair that might have something to do with the fact that, having watched her vlogs for some time now, I feel like I know Grace personally and watching her "fall in love" makes me uncomfortable, like seeing her in her underwear. It was entertaining enough, to be sure, but lacked in certain departments.
I'd give it about 5/10.
