The kids do what kids do in such syrupy summer camp (PG) romances. There’s a little melodrama, tears, a crisis of faith. At least the adults take a shot at bringing the funny.
Its low-key religious underpinnings — truly, no one even hauls out a Bible during the entire film — likely won’t rankle the secular set, even as Christian kids will be happy to see their worldview reflected by way of a mild crowd-pleaser. It’s hammy, it’s predictable, it’s a little silly, but what YA musical isn’t?

I love this movie!! Idk why it’s rated so low :(
It’s so funny and has great music The actors play their parts so well

The songs capture an entire genre of music. The Christian camp experience can feel like a musical, so it is such a clever style for this movie that can really show off some of the greatest hits of the genre
Report
The cast generates the goodwill. Madison and Quinn bring heart and some shrewd dramatic instincts, while Cook and Sterling settle comfortably into a sincere comic key.
This isn't an unwatchable movie, just an underachieving and forgettable one, and somehow that's more irritating than a disastrous swing for the fences would've been.
This is a film as tidy, transparent and kid-friendly as a square of Jell-O salad, and so squishily eager-to-please that it doesn’t engage with its religious themes so much as tuck them into song lyrics to hover in the narrative like grapes.
If anything, the film’s cross-pollination with faith-based cinema is detrimental to its already minimal tension.
The low stakes of the camp drama and the soundtrack’s indistinguishably familiar pop (adaptations of contemporary Christian hits, plus four original songs) aim for easy, catchy, comfortable fun – a breezy intention which casts some of the script’s insensitive moments in even harsher light.
Lovably lighthearted, wildly energetic, musically raptured, and romantically entertaining. A Week Away is both a sweetly soothing and surprisingly soaring experience in the fun department, but above all, it is a moving love story with a meaningful message for moviegoers all around the world.

Report
The scenes feel very choppy and unconfortable to watch, acting is horrible, sound effects very unrealistic.
I couldn't relate with any of the characters, the way they think, their decisions are very unrealistic.
Singing is great, the energy is very high, if you're into this kind of christian musical movies you might be entertained.
