Synopsis

THE FLOATERS follows struggling musician Nomi who accepts a last-resort job from her overachiever best friend Mara: mentoring misfit campers, the "Floaters," at their childhood Jewish summer camp.
Moviegoers are saying
The Floaters divides audiences between those charmed by its authentic Jewish summer camp setting and stellar ensemble cast (Jackie Tohn, Aya Cash, Steve Guttenberg) and those frustrated by its derivative 'School of Rock' formula and convoluted three-writer script. While praised for genuine cultural representation and sweet young performances, many found it predictable and poorly edited despite its commercial appeal.

    JEWISH SUMMER CAMP OF ROCK, which sounds made in a lab for me, but this isn’t very good

    Genial throwback comedy presents Jewish teens and their experiences in a way that feels authentic and affectionate, wanting you to laugh with not at the characters. It's much more commercial than its limited release would suggest.  In the Q&A, the producer defended the…

    As an unabashed camp kid, THE FLOATERS was very well met. Entirely authentic in its depiction of the camp experience, even though I am not Jewish nor have I ever attended a Jewish summer camp. Jackie Tohn crushing it as always. Incredible supporting cast: Aya Cash, Steve…

    Always surprises me watching such derivative, uninspired, predictable, eye-roll worthy films in 2026. I guess it’s because, without even realizing, I have some very naive notion in my mind that human progress is linear, and that through time we become impervious to the…

    The kids were very sweet and did an excellent job. Great cast overall - unfortunately they just weren’t always given great lines nor rescued in the edit. Convoluted script (perhaps relatedly: 3 writers plus 3 sibling producers with story credit), and lots of potential for…

    You wouldn't know it, but for quite a long time, Jews had a reputation for being funny. Weird seeing this a few days after School of Rock, from which this film borrows liberally. A truly Jewish summer camp isn't a bad setting for a film, but this film has too many ideas…

    This was a hard watch. Bad portrayal of our generation and Jewish overnight camps. Also way too many unfinished plot points and the plot itself just sucked. Disappointing to say the least.
