They don’t make them like this any more
I rarely even bother to watch comedic movies or television these days. They’re insipid, vulgar, and, most importantly, not funny. This one could be seen as a refreshing blast from the past. It’s worth watching, and I don’t believe it would be dated in any significant way. Classic humor is classic humor, and good writing is good writing regardless of the era in which created.I would love to see this film again; it came to mind after having seen the somewhat similar “Summer School” on television recently. Like that slightly newer film, “Meatballs” is funny without being cruel, overly sexual or indulging in bathroom humor. The key, of course, is how the adult character makes such a difference in the life of the teen character — maybe even a virtually life-saving change — and how they both grow up in the space of a summer.
bringing Reitman and Murray together
It’s a new summer at Camp North Star for kids from six to fourteen. Morty “Mickey” Melnick runs the camp and Tripper Harrison (Bill Murray) is the irreverent senior counselor. He keeps flirting with fellow lead counselor Roxanne. Spaz is one of the CITs (counselor in training). Rudy Gerner (Chris Makepeace) is a lonely kid who doesn’t fit in. He and Tripper form a close connection. They have been beaten by neighboring Camp Mohawk for the last 12 years. In the annual competition, they are getting crashed by the cheating Camp Mohawk on the first day. They rally with Tripper’s sarcastic chant “It just doesn’t matter.”This movie suffers from a lack of solid secondary actors. Murray is doing his utmost. He and Makepeace provide the heart. Spaz and his chubby friend have a few moments. Most of the rest are simply amateurs unable to deliver the jokes. For example, Roxanne needs to be either hot or funny. The actress is neither. Matt Craven is probably the only one out of that group who would go on to do more stuff. Director Ivan Reitman does his best with who he had. It’s a small Canadian production that is most important for bringing together Reitman and Murray early in their careers. It’s cute innocent fun.
