Summary: BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Review: this is seriously the funniest movie i have ever seen in my entire life! everyone in this movie is good, and everything about it is really funny and good. even people who i don't normally like (janene garafolo and david hyde pierce) are funny in it. the people who give this movie a bad review don't know what their talking about.

Summary: 'Just not MY cup of tea!
Review: The vast majority of reviewers of this film rate it highly. Well, I am going to have to join the minority. It's just not funny at all. The attempts at humor seem "forced" and the "satire" just doesn't work.For me, the main reason for renting the film was to see how Chris Meloni, a favorite of mine, handled comedy. He does fine, considering what he's working with. David Hyde-Pierce, another favorite, is wasted...as is anyone's time viewing. I'll certainly get some "non-helpful" nods, but I have to call it as I see it.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie is pure gold. It helps if you've grown up in the 80s and seen movies like The Mighty Ducks and Addams Family Values, but unnecessary. The humor is very silly, and in that way it is reminiscent of something Monty Python might do. Recurring jokes like the talking vegetable can and the throwing of campers from moving vans are absolutely classic. I highly recommend this.

Summary: This is SO camp
Review: As a former summer camp counselor, I must say that this movie is EXCELLENT! While not every camp was like this entirely (mine surely wasn't), anyone who has ever worked at or gone to a summer resident camp will enjoy this movie. This movie is what camp SHOULD have been. Some of the things here I can imagine actually happening at a summer camp. I watched this with other former counselors, and we went through and were able to say, "Oh, that character was so-and-so at my camp," and so on. (It's rather scary, but Janeane Garofalo looks EXACTLY like my camp director.) Now a Program Director at another camp, I'm definitely showing this to my staff (at the END of the summer, so as not to give them any ideas). If you were ever a camper, watch this movie!

Summary: Funny stuff....
Review: What a weird and wacky movie! Not for everyone's tastes but still a laugh riot in some parts. I love the theater people's production...the directors were hilarious! Buy it/Rent it only to hear the 'fart' soundtrack you can turn on. It's great!

Summary: Absolute brilliance
Review: Yes, if you don't know the films that are being parodied here, this movie will make no sense to you. However, it's one of the smartest satires of a film genre I've ever seen. Janeane Garofalo's performance alone walks the line between overacting and making fun of overacting so well that it's easy to see why some people might just think it's a bad movie. Don't make that mistake; it's intented to be bad. And when the film goes off on surrealistic tangents -- the trip to town, the disposing of bodies -- it still works, because the film has set up its premise so well. So buy and enjoy. Paul Rudd's performance as the bad guy/stud is so perfect it merits some kind of award. The scene where he has to pick up the plate he's just thrown on the ground is a masterpiece of pantomime. He so disgusted ast having to do it, that he "machos" all over the room. And the music, especially the "fire, desire, higher and higher" song, is hilarious. Loverboy will never seem the same again. AND the van crash is one of the most perfectly timed scenes in any comedy. Watch it again, and you'll start laughing in advance of the scene, when the driver is singing Danny's Song. What a great film. Bring on the Pepsi Light!

Summary: A movie that does get the respect it deserves
Review: i have no clue why this movie did so bad at box office cuz it hysterical throughout the whole movie. IF U havn't noticed half of the main characters are from the old Mtv Show entitled "THE STATE" all of the people from that show were funny as hell. What makes this movies even better is that its a movie that was released in 2001 but makes it set in the 80's. Also the chix are hot in the movie. the dvd itself is also really good too, it has very funny deleted scenes, funny commentary, and other cool stuff. this is the type o movie U can watch over and over again so buy it!!!

Summary: You will love it or hate it
Review: There's no middle ground with Wet Hot American Summer. Either you will dimiss it as garbage, or you will love it and watch it repeatedly. I liked it, and upon subsequent viewings I caught more and more of the parody. The movie is a parody of 80's 'teen-exploitation' movies like Meatballs and the like. If you aren't familiar with such comedies, very could well miss the humor in Wet Hot American Summer. For fans of Christopher Meloni (Law & Order SVU, Oz), this is a good chance to see him take on a comedic role that you don't usually get to see.

Summary: Even Better When You Add The Farts
Review: What is so amazing about the film is that it is ridiculously absurd while still accurately portraying the atmosphere of summer camp. True summer camp, (i.e. not things like The Northwestern University Gifted Study Program, or the Meadowmount School of Music Camp) is a mixture of boredom, sexual activity (and frustration), occasional canoeing trips, weird mess hall staff, self-important teenage counselors... and bug repellant.
However, what is so weird is that this movie was billed as a direct spoof of "Meatballs" and "Porky's." The common argument is that those two movies were simply crass and vulgar to begin with and that this movie just adds more crass humor than ever before. Salon.com critic Charles Taylor: "The movies "Wet Hot American Summer" is sending up were just as dumb and sex-obsessed as the movie contends. That's why the filmmakers have come up with some sort of muddled accomplishment: a spoof that manages to be even stupider than the pictures it's spoofing."
If anything, this movie spoofs that entire era. I hate to use another quote, but Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly says it so much better than I can: "You may think you already know everything about the '70s and the '80s, but ''Wet Hot'' ... pinpoints that invisible tectonic moment when the one morphed into the other. It was an era, post-''Animal House'' and pre-MTV, caught between high times and ''Fast Times,'' disco fever and spring break, John Holmes and John Hughes, the fall of the shaggy sensitive guy and the rise of the moussed macho stud."
Its humor is much more varied than the humor of the aforementioned movies. The budding "healthy" relationship between a freshly divorced staff member and one of her arts and crafts campers is so creepy that you can't help but laugh. Sometimes the movie is just plain absurd, like when the Vietnam Vet Cook has a conversation with a can of mixed vegetables and ends up finding out something about his true self... If you don't like that type of humor, there is always the extra soundtrack with added extra fart noises... This is hysterical...
