Acampamento em Família

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!!!!

The storyline is an easy one to anticipate because there's a whole bunch of overused tropes in the plot. I wouldn't call it offensive, but it's far off the path from being impressive.

Production quality is good, but that's really the only aspect of this film that allowed me to continue.

With an attempt to merge silly jokes and a little bit of inspiration, it's tough to know if the film is mocking the Christian values the plot is based on, or supporting them. That doesn't matter all that much except besides being a goofy family comedy, it's hard to know if the writer's missed the mark on the comedy because maybe they were focused on something deeper, but....probably not.

It wasn't funny, and wasn't inspiring and some scenes were almost tough to sit through.

I have to start my review out by saying that, as someone that has enjoyed The Skit Guys for years, I'm bound to be biased about their first movie. The teaser for this movie played for multiple years on their show, and I wondered how much longer it was going to take.

First off, Tommy and Eddie (the comedians, not the characters) mesh really well together. You know they've been friends in real life because you can sense it in their videos. They're genuine friends for life. Now, imagine one of the characters they're playing is not in the habit of caring much about Church, and the other character is ridiculously obnoxious. Want to see a movie about those two characters that's almost two hours long? Even if in the end they learn to be better people?

Ehhhhhh. Not really.

Neither of the characters they play are someone you want to spend time with, and Leigh-Allyn Baker's character is quite over the top, and annoying.

In the beginning of the movie, there's almost a vibe that's making fun of religion, and the people that partake of Church. It's not heavy handed, but it feels kind of like a little kid giving a middle finger.

It really hurts me to type these words, and maybe you just have to look at the big picture. It's wonderful that Eddie and Tommy (the comedians, not the characters) made a movie. It's great to see them on the big screen.

The characters, the lack of really funny bits, the length, and the up and down heavy parts just didn't mesh for me.

I'm proud of them for being able to make a movie, and all the work that it entailed to make this. I'll give them that.

But as a movie, I can't really recommend it for anybody. I know some people are already giving it a 10 out of 10, and I'm glad they enjoyed it.

I'm not hating on this movie, I'm just saying that by the next movie they (hopefully) make, I hope it's more enjoyable to me.

I thank you Regal Unlimited for letting me see this movie with really no cost out of my pocket. I went in with a drink from home, paid 52 cents for the surcharge and that was it. I still feel like I slightly overpaid. This is a fun family flick for the first act and as it gets into the second act becomes a movie full of lessons and tries to become a tear jerking, feel good movie while still trying to maintain that goofy family fun. Unfortunately, none of this works in a any way. It was forced, poorly acted and the entire movie looks like it was shot in 2010 for a kids channel. Which makes me wonder... How this ended up in movie theaters. The director Brian Cates, as far as I can tell this is his debut film and has a history of Christian shorts. So I understood that after about an hour that this was a heavily Christian influenced film which isn't the problem. I have seen some really good Christian films before, but I think our director in question here doesn't quite understand how to write (he's also one of the writers) a full film. Which is probably why he got the the help of Rene Gutteridge who was a writer on one film before, a Christian film. However I think she suffers the same struggles since no where besides the first act seems to know how to hold a nearly 2 hour movie. Which brings me to my next realization, this is apparently a team of people named "The Skit Guys" a Christian skit channel. If you are unaware of this group like I was, and are wondering why there is a flood of 10's and 9's and 8's it's because it is their fans I have to presume. This film is not a hidden gem by any standards and is not something I would ever recommend you go out and pay over a hundred dollars in tickets and snacks at the theater for with your whole family. It is downright disrespectful for taking the screen space away from other films more deserving of it. The reason for a good opening act is because it is basically a rip off of Cheaper by the Dozen and when it does it's own spin going into the second act it becomes a dreadful nightmare. While there are some highlights in this movie and rare instances of decent acting.... practically just Leigh-Allyn Baker... this movie is very weighted towards the terrible scale. The message of the film is something you see coming the second they are lost in the woods and everything here is as predictable as you could imagine. I imagine the budget on this film wasn't much and they probably bought out theaters for their fans or families and will probably recoup the money that was put into this, but there is no way people are going to their local theaters and taking their whole family here unless it's a family who will only pay for these Christian based movies. In fact this movie made me so disinterested that I actually thought about buying a ticket for a new movie and switching theaters. What a horrible mess of a movie that completely misses the point of being a FUN family movie. I give this a 3 only for the Cheaper by the Dozen ripoff to start the first act and for Leigh-Allyn Baker making miserable scenes bearable. Not even worth waiting for streaming, wait for like a Youtube rip and get hammered and maybe there's some enjoyment.

My kids grew up watching the Skit Guys. Their humor with a point has always always been a hit. Their acting and those of every cast member carried the day. While I loved the storyline, the dialog and pace needed to be stronger to hold my husband and youngest daughter's attention. This was not low budget, everyone earned their roles but I think the movie would have been 10 times better if the Skit Guys had written it themselves. My daughter proclaimed, "It's not funny. " While that's too much of a blanket statement, there was some truth to it. But come on, the CGI beaver was adorable and Tommy and Eddie are amazing . They deserve to be in more movies.
