A truly interesting situation which the filmmakers generally leave wilting in the sun.

No kid is going to buy into a movie that revolves around a geek who isn't a geek and a fat girl who isn't fat.

Rated: 2/5

It's sweet, likable and even vaguely hip.

I remembered enjoying this as a kid. As an adult, there are a lot of disturbing themes that I completely missed that I'm not sure I ever want to see again...

Rated: 2/5

Comédia adolescente estilo anos 80: peripécias e aventura, mas com toda a essência da juventude anos 90.

A great movie. Wholesome fun. Great for all ages. With so many movies on streaming platforms which we all start and never care to finish this is a truly binge worthy movie.

A great underappreciated gem. It's a great lesson for kids who don't want to listen to their parents. Also Christopher Lloyd, Tom Wilson, Wendy Makkena and Peter Scolari were fantastic.

Camp Nowhere? More like Camp Nooooo!!! Why did they do this? At the beginning of the film, I got SO excited when I heard Christopher Lloyd's voice, but as the movie progressed, I started to dread every time they brought him onscreen because I knew they were going to make him do something stupid. I honestly liked the kids a lot, and it's clear they were trying their hardest, but the plot is rather bland, the script lacks wit, and you've seen it all before. Seeing Tom Wilson in this movie was exciting, but he was underutilized. Camp Nowhere is something to watch if you like Christopher Lloyd, or if you're looking for some nostalgia.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
