Review of Wet Hot American Summer (2001) by Emmanuel S — 12 Aug 2012
Alright so I was amazed at how strong the cast is: Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Michael Ian Black, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, plus more recognizable faces, but this movie blows. If it was just a straight up stupid movie it would've been better, instead it's stupidity is increased tenfold by making fun of those other stupid summer teen movies.
And that is certainly the whole point, but it doesn't work 80% of the time. I guess they didn't get the memo: parodies are only funny when it's based on something serious. Paul Rudd's cool guy, stoner, don't give-a-fuck face was the only thing that had me crackin' up.
An awful movie with an all-star cast.
