Campamento de verano

If you go in with the mindset of expecting an overly entertaining adult film then you'll write a one-star review like the one added here on IMDb. That was simply unfair. In my opinion. And yes, we're all entitled to share our own. This was an entertaining family film and deserves some justified accolades. It was comedic in a corny kid's way. The key element here is it was about KIDS BEING KIDS ... with all of their mischievous and juvenile antics rolled into an unusual situation and summer camp environment.

Most importantly, I think it did well, offering a message that friendship matters and so does relying on others when you really need the support and think you can cut it on your own.

A troubled teen is sent to a christian camp in the hopes that the Lloyd (as in Christopher) will straighten him out.

We made the mistake of assuming this was a sequel to the classic Camp Nowhere. Our expectations were high and the anticipation was palpable. About seven minutes into the movie we were all ready to gouge our eyes out with broken bottles.

The budget for this was $3 million and was raised by several churches that took up a special collection at the end of service. Most of the budget went to renting the camp ground, the equipment, and grooming Christopher Lloyd's mustache.

It took elements from other successful movies, baptized them, and threw them into the plot. The result is a feel-good movie that feels about as good as a colonoscopy. In fact, I would have enjoyed a colonoscopy over watching this.

Don't watch this. This absolute mess is boring and the complete opposite of funny. It's filled with cringe and embarrassing fourth wall breaks, unfunny remarks, and a very thin plot, if it even had one. Its a shameless rip off of home alone but a summer camp version. None of the story makes sense and its very confusing. I have no idea what on earth Christopher Lloyd was thinking when he decided to star in this film. He must have regretted it. Don't watch this movie in the theaters, Don't ever watch this movie. Not even when it becomes free on streaming. Just stay at least 10 feet away from this movie. You will thank me.

Clearly an Evangelical mega church's idea at getting people excited for Bible camp. This is one long promo video and they suckered a brilliant actor to being in it.

The music is so awful and tries for force that zany movie cliche that died out ages ago with Disney made for television movies.

The movie has the lighting and cinematography of a YouTube short comedy sketch. Something tells me they did 3 takes max. Everyone in the production crew should be embarrassed at making this. They got a nice gimble and decided it should be used nearly throughout the movie.

The writing, you can tell, was written by people that have seen every cliche ever and decided to wad it in to this pile of junk.

The only thing this movie has going for it is its retro looking poster hoping to capitalize on other good movies.

If you think you're getting a Meatballs, Heavyweights, Camp Nowhere, or even Salute Your Shorts, you're getting nothing close to those.

Camp Hideout is a fun, silly, family film with some touching moments and meaningful points. The poster says it all... It's an 80s style classic comedy with Home Alone-type hijinks and memorable characters. As long as you go in understanding what it is, you'll love it! Great fun having Corbin Bleu to anchor the story as the genuine voice of guidance and an example for the kids. And, what a treasure to have Christopher Lloyd appearing as the tough, grumpy camp warden... I mean, camp operations director. He's a delight! Cheers to the filmmakers for making something wholesome and demonstrating the power of trust, friendship, and human kindness.
