WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Cookiesss-1 A very entertaining summer camp film featuring everyone from a sexy and charming pre "Friends" Jennifer Anniston to convicted Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy. The video performed by Urkel is a highlight, as is the touching performance by Danica McKellar from "Wonder Years." Josh Saviano is a treat as a dork who eventually gets his chance to shine. Ratzenberger and Lyman are an effective comedy pairing, and "Family Ties" sweetie Candace Cameron has a good time playing a stuck up princess. Hemsley and Liddy are hilarious in an "Inspector General" type case of mistaken identity. Tasha Scott, one of the most talented juvenile actresses of the 90s is also effective. All in all a load of fun, providing several youthful TV stars of the era with an opportunity to shine outside their respective series.
kmkirkland2003 You will totally get this movie. I remember watching the television version when it first came on, video taping it and watching it over and over again.This was back when Jennifer Anniston was a virtual unknown. Instead, Brian Robbins, the romantic male lead, was very well known by the target audience for his role on Head of the Class.Throw Chad Allen, Jaleel White, Candace Cameron, and the Wonder Years kids into the mix and you had a movie destined for Tiger Beat or Bop magazine.Sure, the plot is just a tad thin--think Meatballs meats sitcom kids, but even after all these years I still love this movie.If you're looking for something good for pre-teens to watch, this is a decent movie to have in your collection. It has some really good lessons about teamwork and being true to who you are contained in the plot line.I only wish my summer camps had been like Camp Cucamonga!
Douglas (dogge84) I'm probably the only one in Sweden who has seen this, although I bought it on a British VHS PAL copy actually. I think I found out about it when I searched for Jennifer Aniston movies on Imdb. I always look for funny, low budget camp movies and this one, I have to say, is the best one I've seen yet. Or maybe second after "Meatballs". Anyway, horrible clothes, bad lines, bad acting, embarrassing music, famous actors before they got famous, what more could you look for in a camp movie!? The big plus for this flick is that Jennifer Aniston is in it, looking very cute. Unfortunately she has a very boring part, being the polite daughter of the camp owner. And Danica McKellar and Josh Saviano took some time off from "Wonder Years" to star as the, dare I say, main characters of the movie. Danica is some sort of a tough girl who is somewhat weak below the surface, and Josh is trying to date her. He is very much like Paul Pfeiffer in the Wonder Years here, only more energetic. Also, watch for Breckin Meyer and Jaleel White (who raps brilliantly in the Cucamonga video!). The Danica and Josh "romance" (she isn't interested in him at all) is one of the main stories in the movie. A second one is where the camp is visited by a camp supervisor and a caretaker, and the camp owner mixes them up. Then there is a minor fling between Jennifer and one of the male camp leaders, and this story could have been developed more. But then again, Danica, Josh and Jaleel were probably bigger stars then than Jennifer so I can partly understand the filmmakers move.Altogether this is a fun and lighthearted movie who mixes comedy and drama perfectly. It doesn't try to be something it isn't. Watch it if you get the chance! I also understand it is something of a nostalgia trip for some people in the States, however I am a little too young for it and grew up on the wrong side of the world. I don't think that this film has been released on DVD and I don't believe it's ever going to be screened on European television, so if you want to see it, and you don't live in the States, you will have to go through the same procedure I did.
deitriech i was 7 years old when this movie came out and i remember that my mom taped it for me. i am now a 20 year old college student, and when i was looking at tapes to see what I could tape over, i ran into camp cucamonga and i remember how much i loved this movie. i watched it, and yeah it was bad now, but it was still something that made me smile!
