Family Camp

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

This film is super cheesy! It is poorly acted, poorly scripted, not realistic, and has many plot holes. The characters are annoying more than funny, and, to top it off, there is a ridiculous beaver "character" and Bigfoot hunters to just push it over-the-top. I wouldn't say it's completely unwatchable, but barely tolerable, and I definitely wouldn't have paid to see it if I'd of know all this ahead of time. The only plus, is that it is a clean, family film. Younger children may enjoy the goofiness of this film more than the average adult. It's always disappointing when a Christian film is so poorly done. A missed opportunity IMHO. (note: First, I am a Christian, so I'm not an non-religious person bashing a Christian film. Second, after looking up a few of the 10/9 star reviews many are new accounts who have only rated this film, so they obviously were trying to bump up the rating, which is disappointing. Third, my husband gave it a 1 star) I say 4.5 stars. May 2022.
