She does not, however, sell her role as a singer.

Speaking of costars, Demi Lovato sells her role as an unassuming hopeful and holds her own in the lead role despite it being her movie debut. But to their credit, all three of the young rockers do a pretty good job acting and while the roles are anything but demanding, they manage to outshine their costars. That's exactly where Nick and Kevin Jonas spend their time in this movie only a few lines are delegated to each and sprinkled throughout the script. That's because the Jonas Brothers are quickly becoming the Joe Jonas Band and Disney is all too happy to cast him in the lead role and push the others off to the sidelines. You'll notice I've only talked about Joe Jonas' character, Shane.
When Shane hears Mitchie singing in the distance, he makes it his mission to discover the girl responsible for that voice, his ego gradually deflating along the journey. With the other kids' acceptance, she feels more comfortable in her musical skin. Trying to make a good name for herself and impress the cool kids, Mitchie pretends to be the daughter of a hotshot record exec. World famous rock star Shane Gray (Joe Jonas) is there too, hoping to bolster some good PR as an instructor after a few media faux pas. She isn't the only camp attendee who winds up at Camp Rock on a compromise. The only way that can happen is for her mother (Maria Canals Barrera) to work as camp caterer, a position she takes on the condition that Mitchie will put in kitchen hours. The movie opens with Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) hoping to attend Camp Rock, a summer program where aspiring young musicians collaborate to hone their skills. Unfortunately, being good wasn't one of the criteria. The movie premiered in June to nearly 9 million viewers and on all three counts, it was a success. Proving themselves again to be indefatigable synergizers, they knocked out all three with one Disney Channel Original Movie: Camp Rock.
