Crappy film
Brilliant and touching
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I do not understand why Hollywood keeps casting Jessica Alba. Her acting is a "Adult Film Star" quality and she always sounds like a tone deaf valley girl.I have never enjoyed anything she is in because she ruins everything. You would think with all the money she has made she would hire an acting coach. I think the only reason why she gets work is because of the casting couch.There is lots of out of work actors that are 100x better than Jessica. Why are they never cast???
A little bit silly but surprisingly cool.Camp Nowhere was in many ways what I exactly expected; a little bit silly but funny and lighthearted family flick enough entertaining to keep us watching for 90 minutes. Christopher Lloyd is funny and likable while the kids are also delivering some funny and sweet moments.Basically it's a story of a bunch of kids who are going to different summer camps and for some reason each of them is not very happy about that idea. With a help of a former drama teacher they are deceiving their own parents each time in a rather funny and specific way and starting "Camp Nowhere" for all summer long with no adult supervising. Of course the kids are just mostly goofing around and having fun (and to be fair that's what they are supposed to do in summer) but at the same time they are becoming friends and eventually learn some positive values.Sure some stuff is far-fetched and hardly believable but who cares this time, anyway? It's a nice family entertainment which adults can survive without much pain and quite possible even enjoying with a thought that sometimes it might be much better to ask your offspring what he or she really likes and wants to do. Christopher Lloyd's character could be really annoying but this time his performance is rather cool and enjoyable while all the kids are trying to do their best and obviously having a great fun at the same time. The jokes are not that crude as they are used to be in many similar movies and the movie concept is not serious enough for real kids taking it as a good idea. It's also nice to see some modern stars in their first big screen appearances.
Well now, I haven't actually seen this movie in a while, so I'll spare the details. Well done? Yes. Humorous? Of course! Plot line? Pretty stinkin' good! Anyhoo, now that I've wasted about four lines on almost nothing, I can't think of too much else to say. I really enjoyed the whole idea, something realistic, and yet fictional enough for a movie. I also liked how it added in it's own little 'problems'. Overall, I think it came out rather well. My only problem? Ever notice how you watch a movie? And the kids on it, /around/ your age, seem pretty 'good looking'? But then, twelve or so years later, you come back and see what happened to this thing you used to worship? This my friends, or whoever, is why I've dropped the topic of 'young people' and moved onto my obsession with funny older men. Scary, eh? But that was off topic. Good job, all you producers out there! . . . . And I'm not too sure about the spoiler thing. Better put it on, just in case . . . .
This is another of those films made about and starring kids where adults are really rewriting history in a fantasy way. Wouldn't it be neat if we had taken the money that mom and dad spent on camp and conned them into sending us to an unsupervised camp run by kids? Well, the story is enjoyable enough, the parents are simple (stupid) enough and the kids all get something they really wanted (without recognizing it beforehand) Not a great movie but an ok time. I'd be surprised if the critical reviews of this film don't mostly come from kids (or soon to be ex kids) who think its dumb. But that silliness is part of what makes this light comedy enjoyable.
