The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.

"One of the most outrageous movies I've seen, and it works!"

"Such a great movie in its own right, but just that much better because it's a bang on parody of the quintessential 80s summer camp romp. "

"I know it’s meant to be a dumb comedy, but it’s atrociously annoying and stupid. Stupidity can go to far even in comedy. I didn’t laugh once."

"The raw quantity of comedic talent that went into making this movie is overwhelming on its own. The masterful way it's weaved together is almost superfluous. "
