summer hijinks

Obtaining instant cult status,
Wet Hot American Summer is a personal favorite of mine. Released in 2001 by the same creative geniuses that delivered
the State to MTV and
Reno 911 to Comedy Central, the flick pays homage to summer camp celluloid cliches; midnight lust, latent gay love, apathetic camp counselors and crack OD'ing. Like a bad acid trip set to a Bob Denver song, the movie opens rather innocently, derailing before the viewers eyes, giving no warning for viewers to press pause. Combining the comic timing of
Janeane Garafolo,
Christopher Meloni,
Molly Shannon and a Pre-SNLer
Amy Poehler, the casting is reason alone not to pass this flick by.
If there's anyone else out there that's a fan, please hollaback!
anything with Paul Rudd...
