goodness, what a heinous turd this movie was. i'm a fan of 'wet hot...' and 'the Baxter' but good grief... this movie was just an exercise in lunacy... if only they could turn that into gold. not even one faint giggle. the crowd was silent; one could hear crickets sleeping. i wish i could get my time and money back. even paul rudd... usually impressive as far as delivery is concerned, was lifeless and his delivery was nonexistent. good luck to this troupe of actors and writers in their next attempt. i value others' opinions, but i can't believe anyone could actually enjoy this film at all. i beseech you who gave 'the ten' more than a star... what didn't i get?

With an all-child cast, it bears resemblance to "stand by me." A group of kids plot to pay the school bully back for years of abuse. They take him on a boat trip. If you want more, go see it. It was the best film I've seen this year. Throughout the duration of this classic, one element stuck out for me: Carly Schroeder. She is going to be a star and a half. She blows that annoying cherry blossom, Dakota Fanning, away. Rory Culkin, Macauly's little brother, was just perfect for the part of a naive kid, susceptible to his older brother's overbearing testosterone. Go see this film, because you will talk about it for hours on end. Perfect dinner movie. Take your girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other. Kids under 13, though portrayed in the film, just aren't ready for the material of this film, so don't bring your children.
