Meatballs

CriticsCritics: 67
AudienceAudience: 6.1

At a budget summer camp, an irreverent counselor befriends a lonely camper who struggles to fit in. As the counselor encourages the kids to take on a wealthier rival camp in their annual competition, the young camper also tries to bring the counselor closer to a fellow staff member.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like lighthearted summer-camp comedies with goofy antics and a warm friendship at their center; not for you if you want consistently sharp jokes or a tightly focused story.
