Summerhood

I saw Summerhood at the 2008 Maui film festival. By far one of the best movies played. The time of the movie was set in the late 80's to early 90's. I was about the same age as the kids in the early 90's.A great job was done with the fine details to fit this strange place in time were the 80's ended and the 90's began.(the ninja turtles references made my night!) This movie is truly a instant classic if you grew up in this time. More movies should be made with this kind of truth and honesty about kids at this age. I knew way more than my parents ever thought I did. I'm sure kids today know even more. Its time we wake up to the fact that kids are not as innocent as we make them out to be. The child actors were great,it really felt like the words belonged to the kids not a script. Good work everyone who worked on this film...............ALOHA

"Summerhood" is a hilarious and relatable trip back to those awkward, unforgettable summer camp days. Packed with quirky kids, sharp humor, and just the right amount of heart, it delivers plenty of laughs while tugging at your nostalgia. Like flipping through your funniest childhood memories-only with way better one-liners.

Summerhood is a nostalgic gem that masterfully blends sharp humor with heartfelt, touching moments. Through its playful and often irreverent take on childhood adventures, it captures the innocence, mischief, and awkwardness of growing up. With witty dialogue, endearing characters, and a lighthearted tone, it offers the perfect mix of laughs and warmth, leaving you smiling, reflecting, and feeling that cozy glow of summertime memories.

This movie instantly transported me back to those long, sticky summer days of my childhood - the kind where time felt endless, friendships felt unshakable, and every adventure seemed like the most important thing in the world. The humor is goofy but genuine, the characters feel like kids you actually knew, and the little moments hit way harder than you'd expect. Honestly, it's the kind of film I find myself rewatching every now and then, just to relive that mix of innocence, chaos, and pure joy.

Not one funny scene and yet every scene tries to be funny! This movie is a choppy collection of 'kids at summer camp misbehaving' and trying to be lovable rapscallions but it fails at every turn.

The plot is questionable due to it's constant meandering between the love interest with that too tall girl and 'the boys shenanigans' .... dead end!

The counselors are stoned or just lost in how to portray their character. Then the four daughters ....really? I thought this was a kids movie.

Don't waste your money - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
