TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SnoopyStyle In 2001, 'Wet Hot American Summer' introduces a group of relatively unknown young comedic actors. Some of them played teenage camp counselors despite being too old. Fifteen years later, most return to play the same characters in a prequel during their first day at Camp Firewood in the summer of 1981. The time bending silliness of that construction is boldly inventive and utterly hilarious. On top of that, this eight-episode Netflix series doubles down and goes even more ridiculous. The plot is insane. The jokes are even broader. The original confused me on my first viewing. Its satirical take isn't consistent enough and the varying range of comedy left me a little discombobulated. The original is inconsistently awkward funny but this time around, the gang is going completely nuts. They are not holding back and it is glorious.

jay-20568 This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I never saw the movie. You could make a game out of people trying to figure out which moments were spoofs of other TV or movie moments. It's just non stop hilarious moments.It spoofs dramas, comedy, horror, action, political dramas, etc..... It is brilliant.The over exaggeration of how movies are made is great. Basically in most movies much older actors will play a character that is much younger than they are. Like most teenage characters are played by actors in their 20s The movie goes over the top with the actors in their 30s or maybe 40s, playing 16 year old kids.I love it when a great concept like this becomes a series. A movie just doesn't have enough time to develop the story like a TV series does. For me......It's brilliant for a comedy equivalent to how The Walking Dead is for a zombie- drama.

ptann We tried watching the movie (which I'd never heard of until about a week ago), and just didn't get it. But we decided to try the show anyway since 40-somethings in wigs playing teens seemed like an amusing idea. And it was! For me, that joke never got old. Besides that, there were some great parody story lines, playing on old TV and movie tropes, that I found very funny.-Standout Actors-The show is worth watching for Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks alone. They both went hilariously over the top, plus their story lines were among the funniest. Kristen Wiig, Josh Charles, Chris Pine, and Michael Cera were standouts in smaller roles, for the same reason.-This show is polarizing -- for a reason-Some people won't get the humour here, perhaps because they just don't appreciate irony and absurdism. But maybe there's another reason… I think some people haven't been exposed to all the cheesy after school specials and movies of the week that this show is parodying. TV has become pretty sophisticated in the past decade or so; it's not quite as innocent (and in some cases, silly) as it used to be. And if you're not familiar with what's being parodied, it's hard to get the joke.

Alexandria Rebecca Lynn Weihrich (lexxluthor) This show was based off the also very good movie, by the same name. It follows the movie by being the first day of the camp, whereas the movie was the last day of the camp. To make a prequel fourteen years later was pretty surprising, but it was just as amazing and funny as the movie, maybe better. It would be very hard to explain, like they tried to in the last episode, but it will not cover everything. It was an exceptionally well written script meant to be funny and not very serious, and it is just that. The movie uses a cast made of almost all well-know stars that will have you laughing until the very end. The characters all have their own personalities, but share the same stupidly hilarious humour. The entire show is full of stupid, but very funny jokes that will have you on the floor laughing just about the whole time. The very well-picked actors and actresses make the entire show even better. They do things you would not usually see them do and it is just so amazing. It is a great pick-me-up on a bad day and I hope everyone who watches it feels the same way.
