Camp Nowhere (1994)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

One of my all time favorites.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I do not understand why Hollywood keeps casting Jessica Alba. Her acting is a "Adult Film Star" quality and she always sounds like a tone deaf valley girl.I have never enjoyed anything she is in because she ruins everything. You would think with all the money she has made she would hire an acting coach. I think the only reason why she gets work is because of the casting couch.There is lots of out of work actors that are 100x better than Jessica. Why are they never cast???

A little bit silly but surprisingly cool.Camp Nowhere was in many ways what I exactly expected; a little bit silly but funny and lighthearted family flick enough entertaining to keep us watching for 90 minutes. Christopher Lloyd is funny and likable while the kids are also delivering some funny and sweet moments.Basically it's a story of a bunch of kids who are going to different summer camps and for some reason each of them is not very happy about that idea. With a help of a former drama teacher they are deceiving their own parents each time in a rather funny and specific way and starting "Camp Nowhere" for all summer long with no adult supervising. Of course the kids are just mostly goofing around and having fun (and to be fair that's what they are supposed to do in summer) but at the same time they are becoming friends and eventually learn some positive values.Sure some stuff is far-fetched and hardly believable but who cares this time, anyway? It's a nice family entertainment which adults can survive without much pain and quite possible even enjoying with a thought that sometimes it might be much better to ask your offspring what he or she really likes and wants to do. Christopher Lloyd's character could be really annoying but this time his performance is rather cool and enjoyable while all the kids are trying to do their best and obviously having a great fun at the same time. The jokes are not that crude as they are used to be in many similar movies and the movie concept is not serious enough for real kids taking it as a good idea. It's also nice to see some modern stars in their first big screen appearances.

This movie was great when I first saw it as a child years ago, it was great when I saw it a few days ago, and it will always be great. as a child the movie embodied my hopes and dreams of a camp away from parents where I was in control. The acting from young stars was surprisingly good. The movie is simply most kids' dream which makes it a childhood classic.

I've seen this movie so many times, I always get it everytime I go to the video shop. I wish they would bring it out on DVD so I could buy it. But no matter how old you are Camp Nowhere is a great, funny and entertaining movie. Jonathan Jackson and Christopher Lloyd play the parts fantastly.No matter how old I get, this movie will always be a favourite of mine. A must see for all!!
