Wet Hot American Summer is a 2001 comedy film directed by David Wain. The film takes place during the last day at a fictional Jewish summer camp in 1981, before closing for the summer. It stars Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Marguerite Moreau, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Zak Orth, A.D. Miles, and members of MTV's sketch comedy group The State. It was written by Wain and Showalter.

The film was a commercial and critical flop, and has since received a cult following.

Heh, this surprised me. I came in expecting another overdone summer camp movie, and the first bit seemed like it was going to be... and then :funny:

It's pretty much bril. It's definitley one of those movies made for cult movie nerds so they can pick up on all subtle jokes like double takes and sound effects, and go along with the absurdity as a parody. I'm already looking forward to watching it again to pick up on more stuff.

Love the cast too. Paul Rudd was my favorite per usual, but Garofalo, Pierce(who ironically I thought was Kelsey Grammar for most of the running time), Showalter, Meloni, all awesome.

Favorite parts:

- Going into town

- The unplugged radio kid

- The talent show

- "Well guys, we've made it to the end of the summer in one piece, except for a few campers who are lepers." + every other bril quote

- Trashing the med unit

If this movie had been any funnier, just a little, I would probably be dead now.

the people who made this were on some crazy drugs, and I feel like I should have joined them in order to enjoy this movie to its fullest potential. That last half hour... I was in tears, like the entire time. The amount of now-celebrities in it makes it all the more awesome.

I rented this the first week it was released on video. I thought it was pretty hilarious. Really need to see it again. Wish they'd release it on Blu-ray.
