Happy Campers

A summer camp goes comedically and hormonally beserk when an injury to a camp counselor puts the power in the hands of a group of attractive college freshmen. The ensuing tug-of-war matches and lessons in life are now coupled with smoking pot and having sex in this irrevent farce.
Daniel Waters, whose familiarity with the teen genre is in evidence in his script of the cult classic HEATHERS, makes his directorial debut with this libidinous camp comedy. Much like contemporary films AMERICAN PIE and WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER, is reminiscent of teen films and comedies of the early 80s, notably PORKY'S, TAPS, STRIPES, and MEATBALLS.

    HAPPY CAMPERS

    This is a movie which bypassed UK cinemas, and it's easy to see why. Rambling plot (which is virtually non-existent),about seven camp counsellors and a particular summer where for 40 days, they look after kids. Sounds interesting, well sadly it's not, after about an hour you find yourself pausing over the eject button. Nothing happens, thankfully the movie is only 86 minutes long. It's hard to know what audience it's aimed at, it's too grown up for kids, and it's too childish for adults. Sometime, people berate when films slip the net, but this one should have stayed on the other side of the pond.
