Pretty Funny Summer Camp Satire
19 February 2013
The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It is the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there is still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve.

What a great cast: Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Rudd and others. Some of them young and just on the verge of starting their careers (this was Cooper's first film). Others , like David Hyde Pierce, were stepping outside the box people had come to expect from them.

I do love that it is a mixture of "The State" (greatest sketch comedy show ever) and "Saturday Night Live". I love that it features my favorite Loverboy song ("Turn Me Loose") and I especially love all the pointless Wilhelm Screams.

No thorough review is necessary. This film already has enough fans. While I think it may be slightly overrated, and not as good as "They Came Together", the love is understandable. Especially for Chef Gene, who is really the glue holding this picture together.
