Atom User Reviews for Summer Camp
Not a laugh to be had. Terrible waste if a great cast!
A laugh here and there but nothing too interesting. Got pretty boring toward the middle and end, just wanted it to be over tbh
My wife and I are seniors and we enjoyed it. It is just a good time movie. Betsy Sodaro deserves much of the credit as she was hilarious.
Metacritic
The story is as predictable as a campfire song. Each of the friends has one core problem to fix, but the film is really about the meandering path to enlightenment, which takes frequent detours for food fights, pillow fights and pottery classes with a lot of awkwardly erotic squelching.
While there are pops of piquancy in Landon’s script, her direction and the performances (with the exception of Woodard) fail to inspire much more than a shrug. “Summer Camp” is only mildly interesting as another entry in the Keaton-verse.
Alfre Woodard, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Kathy Bates and Dennis Haysbert burn through some of their supply of good will on “Summer Camp,” an all-star comedy with AARP casting appeal and nothing else going for it.
