		Set on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, "Wet Hot American Summer" follows a group of counselors who are each trying to complete their unfinished business before the day ends.
		The entire summer of pent-up sexual frustrations, unresolved post-traumatic stress, pending separations and of course, the talent show, all weigh heavily on the minds and groins of counselors and campers alike.

	Wet Hot American Summer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's the last day of summer camp, and the last day for each camper and counselor to find someone to kiss at the end of the big talent show that night.
		It is also a parody of summer camp movies made during the 1980s such as Meatballs.
		As the film is set in the 1980s, the Wet Hot's soundtrack features songs from many popular 80s bands, most notably Jefferson Starship, Rick Springfield, Loverboy, Kiss and Peter Salett.

	Dual Lens - Wet Hot American Summer (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wet Hot American Summer’s return to the summer camp films of the early 80s has a bit of both kinds of return, forcing it to walk a thin line between unfinished business of parody and recreation.
		The “last day of summer camp” is a flexible enough device to allow the film to cram in lots of gags and all these plot lines without it falling apart, but it not surprisingly leads to mixed results.
		Unlike original summer camp films and teen comedies, which displaced their unease over teenage sexuality onto outcasts, sluts and other unambiguously “bad” characters, Summer uses its distance from the genre to treat its characters in a surprisingly mature, almost gentle way, while being sympathetic enough to its summer camp roots to follow the genre’s conventions.

	City Pages - Wet Hot American Summer
		The summer I turned 17, I learned that boys receive preferential treatment on a dude ranch, creme de menthe is a liquor that will impair your driving skills, and it's wise to be wary of the bathroom of anyone who tells you about her spouse's fiber consumption.
		During those summers I learned that no matter the day of the week or how early we opened, there were always at least four people waiting on the steps for the doors to unlock.
		During the summer, when the barely legal girls (myself included), were out of school and free of homework, we would all get together and spend the evenings after work drinking Boone's Farm wine, then using the empty bottles to play sloppy games of spin the bottle.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews -- Wet Hot American Summer
		Garofalo looks like she is passing a kidney stone, or whatever the femme equivalent of that most painful biological event is, in her role as the only woman at camp who hasn't got a boyfriend by the last day of summer.
		Oh, and it's a Jewish summer camp, so the only perfectly in keeping summer showpiece musical number -- the big talent show on the last day of camp -- is a performance of the song Day by Day from Godspell, the Broadway musical preaching the word of Jesus Christ.
		Wet Hot American Summer features a lot of up and coming teevee actors who will probably be happier if we don't mention their names.

	Wet Hot American Summer (2001): Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd - PopMatters Film ...
		These are precisely the problems with Wet Hot American Summer, a parody of the summer camp comedy genre that enjoyed a very brief period of popularity when Meatballs became the surprise hit of the summer of 1979.
		Lacking material that might warrant such a parody, Wet Hot American Summer resorts to squeezing the last remaining drops of humor out of a genre that was strained from the start.
		What little semblance there is of a story revolves around the last day of summer at Camp Firewood (the year is 1981 and, except for a few bad haircuts, the film never takes advantage of its historical setting).

		"Wet Hot American Summer" attempts to parody the summer camp comedies of the '70s, our film critic writes, adding that: "Unfortunately, comedies like 'Meatballs,' which were already silly to begin with, don't lend themselves so well to the treatment.
		NEW YORK -- "Wet Hot American Summer" from Michael Showalter and David Wain of MTV's sketch comedy "The State" attempts to parody the summer camp comedies of the '70s in the same way that have made the current send-ups of the horror genre so popular.
		Set in the last days of summer 1981 at Camp Firewood in Maine, the film tracks the horny counselors, camp workers and kids as they set out to have their final flings before leaving.

		Inexplicably, execrable trash like Road Trip, American Pie and I'm betting the the upcoming American Pie 2 will garner undeserved notice for their idiocy, while the knowing, far more clever Wet Hot American Summer will languish, passing by barely noticed by the public.
		The basic idea is a parody not only of American summer sleep-away camps and teen sexuality; but more to the point the film aims its deft satiric eye at the American teen-comedy films of the 80’s decade that took on teen sexual angst and hijinks as their subject matter.
		American Pie is really the Porky’s of the new millenium, it’s biggest fans being teens themselves, whereas Wet Hot American Summer is geared to those who already went through those years of very bad taste in movies and allows them to look back on that time.

	Hot Wet American Summer
		If there were a hole in the Bottom of the Barrel that allowed the most vile movies ever made to somehow get out of the barrel, seep into the soil, and contaminate the water supply, we'd all be drinking Hot Wet American Summer-laced water.
		There are a few minutes of almost-humor here, where you might actually be tempted to smile, or at least smirk a little, but you won't be able to because your face will be frozen into a permanent grimace from all the scarringly bad bits that bomb.
		I've seen a lot of movies, and there are only a select handful that were so bad they almost made me completely sour on the idea of ever watching a movie again.

	Wet Hot American Summer - Movie Review
		Created by veterans of cable "Saturday Night Live" knock-offs "The State" and "Upright Citizens' Brigade," it's a loose jumble of too-obvious jabs at the genre through stock characters in grossly under-rehearsed vignettes that are absentmindedly filmed and edited together without rhythm and apparently at random.
		In the humor department, "Wet Hot" is not a complete dud.
		"Wet Hot American Summer" is pathetically self-satisfied with its idiocy -- as if the irony of making a bad movie on purpose automatically makes it shrewdly funny.

	popcrazy: Wet Hot American Summer
		Yes, it's officially fall, but for a mere $9.50, you can relive that summer magic with the movie Wet Hot American Summer, an incredibly funny satire of the 80's summer camp movie by two of the creators of MTV's now-defunct The State.
		I was so impressed with Wet Hot American Summer, I'd even consider shelling out another ten bucks to see it again.
		If you've ever seen a teen movie and said to yourself after 15 minutes, "I already know how this ends," or if you just thought it was funny when they sprayed the Pope with grape juice on The State, this movie is for you.

	Trailer \| WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER (Site not responding. Last check: )
		American culture probably hit bottom in 1981, what with TV series like Mork and Mindy, the music of Journey and Styx, bestselling parodies of I’m OK, You’re OK, the Dungeons and Dragons fad, and high-school productions of Godspell.
		Set on the last day of summer vacation two decades ago at Camp Firewood, Maine, Wet boasts a talented cast that includes Janeane Garofalo, Molly Shannon, Paul Rudd, and Christopher Merloni in a series of cliché-busting skits that range from the hilariously inane to the merely inane.
		But most of Wet Hot American Summer will appeal to those who, when they say they don’t make movies like that anymore, are referring to Bill Murray’s Meatballs.

		Wet Hot American Summer is equal parts parody and absurdist sketch-comedy.

	Movie Review - Wet Hot American Summer - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		"Wet Hot American Summer" takes place over the course of one day: the last day at Camp Firewood, to be exact.
		Garofalo plays Beth, the indifferent camp director (she smokes with the kids and only half-heartedly reminds the boys they're not supposed to be in the girls' cabins' overnight) who notices, on this last day, a dashing psychics professor named Neuman (David Hyde Pierce) at an adjoining camp.
		Hot, dumb, mean stud Andy (Paul Rudd) is increasingly bored with his hot girlfriend Katie (Marquerite Moreau), which is fine with Coop (Michael Showalter), a Screech-like fellow who has been unlucky at love this summer.

	Wet Hot American Summer
		Set in August 1981, Summer takes us to the final day at a summer camp where an assortment of characters try to get some order in their lives before everyone departs.
		Wet Hot American Summer is one of the rare movies of 2001 where describing the plot simply won't correlate to what's on screen.
		Wet Hot American Summer was not a gigantic hit last summer, but I think it's a movie audiences will discover and rediscover on video and cable for years.

		The staff members of Camp Firewood, feeling that they have squandered the summer of 1981, are determined to make their last day together count.
		Conceived by Michael Showalter and David Wain, members of comedy troupe THE STATE, WET HOT AMERICAN summer pays tribute to the teen films of the 1970s and early 1980s, most notably the Bill Murray summer camp classic MEATBALLS, with a straight face and an anything-goes brand of comedy.
		Mixing and matching from a checklist of youth film clichés and turning them into sight gags that often defy time and space, Showalter and Wain have crafted a film that manages to be a consistently funny tribute to the genres it lampoons.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Wet Hot American Summer"
		Summer camp movies are one of a couple genres (another being college flicks) that (1) seem to allow such flexibility when it comes to creating freewheeling comedic characters and plots, and (2) are vastly underused.
		Maybe that's because the summer camp genre goes through fits and spurts (unlike horror films, which have been freebasing a nonstop marathon since 1932), sating the needs of us few that just want to have a good time.
		Summer camp, to me, is life without parents.

		Tasty and nutrition-free as a snow cone on a hot summer day, Wet Hot American Summer is a silly, hilarious throwback to those mildly smutty early-'80s teen comedies.
		As a twenty-two year old male who fondly remembers both staying up late to watch summer camp sex comedies on cable while his parents were asleep AND devotedly watching the The State's MTV series, I am an ideal member of Wet Hot American Summer's target audience.
		Wet Hot American Summer is one of the few films to have so large a cast of child actors where every single one is perfect in their role.
