Meatballs brought together Bill Murray and director Ivan Reitman. It also had Harold Ramis as co writer.
Trip Harrison (Bill Murray) is a slacker camp counsellor at Camp North Star, a summer camp for kids.
He is in charge of Counsellors-in-Training. Instead he is busy flirting with fellow counsellor Roxanne. He also has a rapport with lonely kid Rudy who does not like playing soccer. Trip also plays tricks on the camp's director, Morty. Every morning Morty wakes up somewhere strange.
The film culminates with Camp North Star taking on a rival in a competition where they have not beaten them for years. This time the kids are spurred on by Trip's irreverent attitude 'It just doesn't matter.'
Meatballs has a thin story. It does have some innuendo but the comedy is more kid friendly than raunchy.
The comedy relies more on Murray's charisma who made his film debut. It is a bit of a mixed bag.
