Overall Call:
Wet Hot American Summer is brought to you courtesy of the members of the sketch troop The State. The film threw out more jokes per frame than I've seen in recent years. So like buckshot, if you throw out enough in the right general direction something is going to hit the mark. Enough did for me to recommend this one. The more you are familiar with stereotypical Hollywood films the funnier this will seem. Some of it was pure genius and some, well, wasn't. But overall when it's over you'll be saying, hey remember when the camp counselor said... It will also embarrass you that you went through and participated in some damn awful fads.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ There is bound to be enough jokes to satisfy you
