One of the big American comedies of the era, this one charting the lives and loves of a number of camp councellors at a typical summer camp at the lake. This is far less raunchy and explicit than most similar teen sex comedies, and it's actually a surprise in that it turns out to be the heartwarming story of the relationship between a sweet guy and the awkward kid he befriends. It's notable for being Bill Murray's breakthrough cinematic debut and he's quietly wonderful in the part, stealing all of his scenes. The rest is moderately amusing and paints an affectionate picture of a different era.
