Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Through it all, Murray smiles and forges ahead, but his big riffs have been edited down to frantic bursts of mugging.
Fresh: It's difficult to come up with a more cliche situation for a summer pic than a summer camp, where all the characters and plot turns are readily imaginable. That makes director Ivan Reitman's accomplishment all the more noteworthy.
Fresh: A cheerful, if not particularly deft, summer-camp comedy.
Fresh: Camp counsellor Tripper (Murray) is a John Belushi clone whose 'charisma' dominates the film's standard wackiness and sentimental story (of a kid who doesn't fit).
Customer Reviews
IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER
An absolute fun fest. One of Bill Murray's most underrated movies. It is a complete shock to me how little people know of its existence. This is a very funny movie. Afterall it stars Bill Murray, and was co-written by Harold Ramis.
Great
This movie was awsome :)
I have not seen a pg movie like this before.
Bill Murray at his best
