Camp Nowhere Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
asiduodiego Yeah, it's just a silly movie for kids, but "Camp Nowhere" hits right in the mark: the story is engaging enough to keep us watching, the characters are adorable, it has Christopher Lloyd in it and the jokes and slapstick are fun enough to keep us entertained the whole thing. Yes, this is not as smart as "Addams' Family Values", but for what it is, is a enjoyable ride.The highlight of this movie, as I've said, is Christopher Lloyd: he's a great and funny actor, and here he shows his comedic talents in all its glory, with his multiple performance.Good and funny summer movie, take it for what it is; a kids' film.7/10
peterpants66 While attempting to see this in a second run theater on a school night, it was mysteriously sold out, so i opted for "Interview with a Vampire" instead and left halfway through. It would have to wait till the days of the internet for me to rightfully obtain a copy and pursue my viewing pleasure. This was an awesome kids movie, it was every kids dream come true, No parents, Plenty of money, and a camp counselor that has traveled through time. Christopher Lloyd teams up with Thomas F. Wilson (biff) in an awkward comedy about the limits an out of work school teacher is willing to go to make a thousand bucks. So the premise is all these rich kids have to go to camp in the summer and their dreading it. A plan is organized so all the parents Think there going away to their respective camps, but instead they take the money and rent out a lodge for the entire summer to cause mayhem. The doc is recruited to act as the adult in the transaction, which contains quite a hilarious exchange between Lloyd and Burgess Meredith (golobulos). The summer goes as planned, kids curb their boring specialties (playing the cello, using computers) and use their parents camp money on video games, electric guitar's, wide screen televisions, probably a thousand pizza's and of course a whole line of Nerf products! It's an orgy of junk food, pranks and the fabled Popcorn omelet. The dishes are done man, its summer, Jessica Alba is here, LETS PARTY!
Juni78ukr A little bit silly but surprisingly cool.Camp Nowhere was in many ways what I exactly expected; a little bit silly but funny and lighthearted family flick enough entertaining to keep us watching for 90 minutes. Christopher Lloyd is funny and likable while the kids are also delivering some funny and sweet moments.Basically it's a story of a bunch of kids who are going to different summer camps and for some reason each of them is not very happy about that idea. With a help of a former drama teacher they are deceiving their own parents each time in a rather funny and specific way and starting "Camp Nowhere" for all summer long with no adult supervising. Of course the kids are just mostly goofing around and having fun (and to be fair that's what they are supposed to do in summer) but at the same time they are becoming friends and eventually learn some positive values.Sure some stuff is far-fetched and hardly believable but who cares this time, anyway? It's a nice family entertainment which adults can survive without much pain and quite possible even enjoying with a thought that sometimes it might be much better to ask your offspring what he or she really likes and wants to do. Christopher Lloyd's character could be really annoying but this time his performance is rather cool and enjoyable while all the kids are trying to do their best and obviously having a great fun at the same time. The jokes are not that crude as they are used to be in many similar movies and the movie concept is not serious enough for real kids taking it as a good idea. It's also nice to see some modern stars in their first big screen appearances.
HappilySaturnine This movie is no masterpiece, but I consider it fun and light entertainment. It's one of my favorites from childhood which gives it a special sense of sentimental value for me, but I think it can be enjoyed by a newcomer just as well. The cast is lively and fun with many familiar faces. It's a great movie to watch during the summer because it so perfectly portrays the carefree and light-hearted feeling of the season. Obviously it's far from winning an Academy Award but not every movie is made to display some deep, brilliant idea. Many people have commented that it is the worst movie they've seen; I suggest they watch Grease 2. All in all, Camp Nowhere is a fun flick.
