Family Camp

I saw this in the theater with my 5 year old. It was too silly for me and not funny enough for him. Probably best for pre-teens. Still, the jokes didn't land. I imagined them performed by A-list comic actors and could see how the writers might have thought the script would've been funny but there were very few laughs. Also there were times when they tried to be too emotionally dramatic. The movie is set up to imply that you're about to see a slapstick comedy but then they try to get a little too deep. It's awkward when you're constantly late to realizing that what you're watching is suddenly supposed to be serious rather than funny. The balance just isn't there. And is it supposed to be preachy? I would have to assume so based on the fact that the movie wouldn't have to change at all if it omitted the religious aspect. Classic straight man/comic foil structure done much more poorly than most of the similar low budget B movies of the 90s.

I love the skit guys. They are a class act and super funny in their shorter videos. I actually was loving this movie for about the first 45 mins. Then they get lost in the woods, and then I was lost as well. I thought the movie was really great up until that point. It went from funny family comedy to serious wannabe tear jerker. Sometimes I wish these movies made by a Christian group of people didn't have to always be a "Christian movie". Why can't it just be a movie for good ol movies sake? By the end of it, I felt as though I'd seen movies like it 20 times before. It feels like these guys compromised on what they could have really made just to turn it into a good message. Moms night out is like this film but done better. It doesn't *feel* like a Christian movie, it just feels like a movie. Hopeful these guys make more movies in the future and lean more into the comedy and less into the drama side. Looking forward to their next project!

This film was worthy of a script written for Chevy Chase and his family for National Lampoon's vacation movie. Unfortunately, this one is pretty much in the same vein, so it has that been there and done that feeling. It is squeaky clean, and fit for family viewing, but once again, there will not be too many laughs along the way. The script is weak and so are the jokes. Most of the movie is predictable and is overly PC. An attempt at copying the successful Saturday night formula falls a bit short, but is harmless enough viewing if you have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go. I saw the film for free with my pass.

Save your money and watch something else. There's plenty of nicer christian movies with better acting in them. The movie stars off okay, even a little funny perhaps, but then it drags on and everything just feels forced. Don't bother.

Great acting, great story and great laughs!!!!!

Best clean family movie in 10 years!!!!

A comedy with heart!!!!

You will laugh and laugh some more!!!!
