Morris "Mud" Himmel doesn't want to go to summer computer camp. Gaby Nowicki (Melody Kay) is going to fat camp. Zack Dell (Andrew Keegan) is going to military camp. Trish Prescott (Marnette Patterson) is going to Broadway camp. The four disparate friends find former drama teacher Dennis Van Welker (Christopher Lloyd) hiding from debt collector T.R. Polk (M. Emmet Walsh). They hire him to trick their parents to go to a camp of their own making. Then other kids want in on the scam.
This is a great kid escapist movie. I love the unlikely friendship of the four friends. They make this more than a simple childish fare. The only missing scene is a heart to heart with the four of them together. The movie splits up the group into the two coupling for the heart to heart. I want that Breakfast Club scene where the kids sit down and go into their lives. That would put this over the top. This is a fun movie for kids and younger teens.
