I think it's almost too vague; it's too easy to fit stories into the Campbell Path of the Hero. It's just a requirement of good storytelling that many of his commonalities will occur.
Campbell's thesis is extremely vague. Just about any story can be made to fit into it. There was a thread on these boards awhile back that illustrated this perfectly, by showing how the Rocky II movie could be an example of Campbell's thesis, complete with appropriate roles for Rocky, Mickey, and Mr. T.
