rannynm Check out the review by KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Camille Bajema below: I like this film because it has a lot of super funny scenes and characters!This film is about four friends, Mud, Zack, Trish, and Gaby, played by Jonathan Jackson, Andrew Keegan, Marnette Patterson, and Melody Kay. These kids' parents want to send each of them to awful summer camps. They are all dreading it until Mud comes up with an idea to make up their own summer camp. They have the money to do it, but the only problem is that they have to have an adult to help them. Luckily, Mud has the "perfect" person in mind: Dennis Van Welker, played by Christopher Lloyd. Dennis has a shady past and is running from the law.Mud is a super smart boy who doesn't want to be sent of to computer camp; Zack is a delinquent who is about to be shipped off to military camp; Trish is a diva who absolutely doesn't want to go to theater camp; and Gaby is super smart and has a crush on Mud! She doesn't want to go to Camp Slenderella!Out of all these wonderful characters, my favorite one is Zack. I like Zack because although he has a frightening reputation, he's really funny and good at heart!My favorite scene in this film is when the parents come to visit their kids and the kids at Camp Nowhere and they have to pretend that the camp is whatever camp they're supposed to be at! Then the police get involved! I like this scene because it's so funny and exciting! The acting in this film is pretty good, although at some points it could have been better.This movie is written by Andrew Kurtzman and Eliot Wald and directed by Jonathan Price.The cinematography in this film is great! I especially love the setting -- a beautiful campus with an amazing lake and nice little camp cabins! It is very picturesque and I I can totally imagine myself there!I recommend this film to both boys and girls from age nine and up because it is a great film the family can watch together, although it is a bit long!I give this film five out of five stars because overall, I think it is very funny, clever and cute!
Lee Eisenberg OK, there have been so many movies about cool kids trashing the adults' rules, that another one would hardly register. However, "Camp Nowhere", about some teenagers creating a summer camp sans adult supervision, has some pretty cool stuff in store. No doubt, all kids have at some point wanted to do something like this. And if there's only going to be one adult at the camp, I'd say that Christopher Lloyd probably would be the right person to have.So, don't expect to see this and have some sort of religious experience (although there's no guarantee that you won't have one); just expect to have fun (that's pretty much guaranteed). Also starring Jonathan Jackson, M. Emmet Walsh, and even a very young Jessica Alba.And that end scene was sure a shocker!
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.
allison386 i absolutely love this movie. i own it on DVD and when i asked for it i had only seen 5 minutes of it on like STARZ or something. christopher lloyd is great. and so is jonathon jackson. jonathon jackson and melody kay were soo good in the scenes when they had to like each other. i actually started crying it was so sweet. jason keegan and marnie patterson were awesome too. i almost believed the whole movie. its so great to see where some stars got their starts like jessica alba and..well almost all of the kids in the movie have gone on to do other work too. i think everyone everywhere would love this movie. adults, because it reminds them of their youth and children, because it is just a time to get away and pretend that you are actually at camp nowhere. on a scale of 1 to 10 i definitely give this movie a 10.
