It’s time to got back to camp, 50 years later.

When best friends reunite at the camp that brought them together, magic combined with a bit of mischief will inevitably happen.   The more important thing is figuring out how to savor a friendship that seems to have drifted a part.

Summer Camp stars Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard as the threesome friends who put aside their lives for one last hoorah at Camp Pendleton.  Each actress brings her own unique style of comedy.  The film also includes notable names such as American Pie’s Eugene Levi, who is all to familiar to what happens at Camp.  Additionally, Beverly D’Angelo spices things up with a quick cameo. 

One might compare Summer Camp to another film “Book Club” as it proves yet again that age is just a number.  It has the same Book Club vibe of women of a certain age that ultimately are not ashamed of it and in the end just want to have fun.  There are iconic camp scenes that will make audiences remember that Summer camp feeling, including white water rafting, archery, horseback and of course the classic food fight scene.

It’s a film that is perfect for releasing at the height of summer experiences and holds it’s own along side all the blockbusters hogging the screen time.  Rate PG 13 a slight bit of adult langauge and humor, that being said, it is a safe for a slightly younger audience with parents present.  It’s just a good clean and fun movie that all should see.  Summer Camp came out in theaters May 31st and is currently playing in one near you.
