While attempting to see this in a second run theater on a school night, it was mysteriously sold out, so i opted for "Interview with a Vampire" instead and left halfway through. It would have to wait till the days of the internet for me to rightfully obtain a copy and pursue my viewing pleasure. This was an awesome kids movie, it was every kids dream come true, No parents, Plenty of money, and a camp counselor that has traveled through time. Christopher Lloyd teams up with Thomas F. Wilson (biff) in an awkward comedy about the limits an out of work school teacher is willing to go to make a thousand bucks. So the premise is all these rich kids have to go to camp in the summer and their dreading it. A plan is organized so all the parents Think there going away to their respective camps, but instead they take the money and rent out a lodge for the entire summer to cause mayhem. The doc is recruited to act as the adult in the transaction, which contains quite a hilarious exchange between Lloyd and Burgess Meredith (golobulos). The summer goes as planned, kids curb their boring specialties (playing the cello, using computers) and use their parents camp money on video games, electric guitar's, wide screen televisions, probably a thousand pizza's and of course a whole line of Nerf products! It's an orgy of junk food, pranks and the fabled Popcorn omelet. The dishes are done man, its summer, Jessica Alba is here, LETS PARTY!

This movie is no masterpiece, but I consider it fun and light entertainment. It's one of my favorites from childhood which gives it a special sense of sentimental value for me, but I think it can be enjoyed by a newcomer just as well. The cast is lively and fun with many familiar faces. It's a great movie to watch during the summer because it so perfectly portrays the carefree and light-hearted feeling of the season. Obviously it's far from winning an Academy Award but not every movie is made to display some deep, brilliant idea. Many people have commented that it is the worst movie they've seen; I suggest they watch Grease 2. All in all, Camp Nowhere is a fun flick.

This movie is not a cinematic masterpeice, but it's not intended to be! It's a kid's movie about celebrating youth, summer and freedom. The movie has really funny parts, and although kids probably couldn't pull this off in real life, that's not the point! This is a cute, funny, lighthearted movie, that I've seen a million times but still can't get enough of. A childhood favorite!

Involuntarily I have watched this one on TV. It was good, had an okay storyline (even though pretty unrealistic... but that applies to all movies of this kind), and most importantly it didn't have exaggerated cheap and lame humour a lá Police Academy or similar. This one might even entertain grown ups. I'd say this movie was one of the better kid's flicks (not saying that Police Academy is one, but honestly, it's a big piece of crap). However I can't judge the original version since I've seen the German dubbed version which was pretty ok. I think it's underrated here at IMdB. I give it a kids/comedy rating of 7/10 (please note that this is not a generic movie rating. imo you cannot judge all kinds of movies the same).
