If you've got the right sense of humor and of the absurd, then this movie will be right up your alley. If you don't, you will utterly despise this film. Wet Hot American Summer is a spoof of 80's camping films, and even a spoof of spoofs...if that's possible. Filled with ridiculous situations and off-the-wall absurdity, one never knows which direction the film will take itself next. Far from serious or even sane, those who don't like "stupid" movies will probably not find anything special here. However, if you do, then you'll find this ridiculously hilarious.
This had to have been a joy to make. Talking soup cans, fridge-humping chefs, hardcore drug binges, and interesting student/teacher relationships give it more than enough material to crack a few smiles from the makers during filming. It's so random and aware of it's jokes and what it is that it's hard for me not to like. It never takes itself seriously and the viewer shouldn't either. It's a perfectly absurd party movie....and shouldn't be taken as anything else. If you do, then that's your problem and fault for not being able to enjoy this film. That's a sad thing too, because it's definitely one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen, which is a good thing.
If you like silly films, then you'll love this. I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Excellent comedy.
