'The Sting' for Summer Camp.

In true Paul Newman/Robert Redford fashion, this film screams fun. With a unique cast, led by the ever eccentric Christopher Lloyd, a former drama teacher leads a team of kids to a summer camp free of work, parents or any authoritative counselors. He is encouraged by four bright but disgruntled youngsters who dread the thought of spending summers being trained to live up up to their parents expectations: fat camp, acting camp, military school and computer camp. But the shenanigans do not come into classic play until the kids' parents insist on visiting them at their "educational" camp. This joins ' The Goonies' and 'Willow' and one of the many films that my own kids will grow up watching...but I think if you are watching this film...like me, you are far too much of a child yourself to be thinking about actually having children!

Reminds me of my childhood

This is the typical movie that you would have seen growing up in the 90's. It has an awesome cast and has a funny storyline. For some reason i don't remember this movie growing up but watched it in my 30's and loved it. This would be the camp that we all wished we could go to growing up.7 out of 10.

Another Camp Movie, Different Year

"Camp Nowhere" is somewhat of an update of "Meatballs (1979)," starring Christopher Lloyd of "Back to the Future (1985)" fame. As camp movies go though, this film has its particulars, it is funny, but to a point. It is watch-able, and forgettable. It was not as well received as the 1995 camp film "Heavy Weights," which was a roaring success.Lloyd is a man who needs money and these kids need time to themselves, so they hire him to run their camp, he accepts. Soon though, the parents want to check the place out. Did I mention that each kid told his/her parents they went to a different camp? Only chaos could ensue from this calamity.This premise brings to mind a film about a similar idea, "Accepted (2006)" where a group of college flunkouts start a faux college to make their parents believe they are college students. Perhaps these kids are the same ones from that movie! We can only wonder.
