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!"
Jonathan Kent
"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. "
Trish Martin
"Corny fun time at camp. Kinda like Saturday night live at a camp for summer."
Dustienne Jacobs
"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. "
Amber McCullers
"This movie seriously…just look at the cast list. Hilarious "

"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."
