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!
