Paul Rudd kills at least 2 kids in this movie and that’s why I love cinema.

paul rudd letting two kids sink to death, and later throwing in the middle of nowhere the kids that saw what he did, is cinema at it's finest

Wet Hot American Summer

This has to be one of if not my absolute favorite comedy movie of all time. It combines slapstick, wordplay, and meta textual humor all together resulting in a concoction of a comedic masterpiece that does not waste a single second.

Wet Hot American Summer

9.1/10 this may have been the most fun movie to film of all time - literally just a bunch of comedians messing around on set for an hour and a half - so many cliches and no regard for plot continuity at all but it’s so damn funny - one of my favorite trashy comedies for sure

Wet Hot American Summer

Over the top absurdity and an A through D list cast makes this one of those annual must-watch summer flicks. The laughs are a mile a minute and the characters are real life cartoons characters. Almost too funny.

Wet Hot American Summer

This film nails its absurdist parody of stupid 80's camping movies with with great comedy that just gets better as the film progresses. 7.5/10

Wet Hot American Summer

A superb blend of dumb, sexy and nostalgic. Rockstar cast with someone for anyone to identify with.

Wet Hot American Summer

I wouldn’t say it gets better as it goes on, but it’s just stupid enough to be timeless comedy
