"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.
