Throw in a trip to Action Park and this is a pretty accurate representation of sleep away camp in the 1970s-1980s. The world has gotten a lot more self-conscious and anxious since then, so it was nice to visit the carefree days of inter-camp games, co-Ed socials and hours by the lake.
Reitman and Murray would make better and more memorable films, but their best always managed to retain the heart and soul they poured into Meatballs.
