Audience Member Can one summer make or break a group of friends that have known each other all their lives? Director Mike Binder shows just maybe Seven people reunite at a camp in Ontario threatened to be shut down called Tamakwa A big cast of Diane Lane, the late Bill Paxton, Elizabeth Perkins, Alan Arkin, Matt Craven, and Sam Raimi It's cool they all gather after so long but not without carrying a load of their own problems from marriage to having kids to lack of communication Yet unresolved feelings begin to surface You can learn a lot in a week, most kids begin their entire lives at summer camp, reunions can be good to better ourselves even after childhood, loving each other means having to communicate more More about tone and mood but has a great ensemble The nature camp setting is a relaxing addition too Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Julie S Indian Summer takes me back to when I went to camp as a young teen. I enjoy the actors and the storyline, even the music invokes fond memories- what if we could go back? And to this day, it is still one of my favorite movies. For me, Alan Arkin's performance and connection he has with cast of returning kids, now adults, makes this movie heartwarming. The baggage they bring with them literally and figuratively is saturated - serious and silly at times. But the movie holds up for me after all these years. It's like a cup of pumpkin spice coffee on a lazy fall weekend.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Thomas M I think this movie is a warm hug on a crisp autumn morning. I watch this movie every Canadian Thanksgiving. This isn't a movie you pick apart you just make some popcorn and enjoy Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/22 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie. Of course, I loved summer camp as a kid, and once I grew up and became a middle school teacher, I go to sixth grade camp as a teacher every chance I get. So loving a movie about adults going back to spend another week at their beloved summer camp is just a wonderful movie in my opinion. I even learned and memorized "The Cremation of Sam McGee" because of Alan Arkin's performance of the peom in this movie. I have performed that story for hundreds of sixth graders. I also love the various stories that make up the plot of the movie and I love the ending of the movie. Who would not love to run a summer overnight camp? I remember first seeing this movie in the theater back in the 90s and I purchased a DVD copy of it as soon as I found it on DVD. What a wonderful feel good movie--it takes me back to happy places (both in childhood and now adulthood) every time I watch it! This movie is, in my opinion, a must see for anyone who truly loved their summer camp experience as a youth and wants to be reminded, in a serious but fun way, of the happy times they had at camp! Enjoy! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
