Bill Murray is the only reason to see this film. His high energy and sensitive acting abilities take this cliche film out of the ordinary and give it the style that did not appear in the script or the direction. It's little more than a typical TV movie of the week (with some rough language and a bit of sex tossed in), but it appealed to the kids who had actually been to a summer camp in their lives, and the result was a box-office hit that earned more than $20 million.

  • IN DEVELOPMENT | Today's News: Our Take | 8/26/2005
    Dick Wolf is working on a new legal drama that will examine the impact of a big-time trial (think O.J. or Scott Peterson) on a small town, but — and you'd better sit down for this — it isn't called "Law & Order: This 'n' That." Suddenly I'm very afraid.... Ivan Reitman, who has directed big-screen features from Meatballs to Old School, has begun thinking small: He's developing a sitcom for Fox called That Guy, about a 35-year-old who surrenders to a "second puberty" and begins acting up like he's 21.
