Pranksters (Michael Lembeck, Dennis Quaid, Philip Casnoff) cause trouble at a summer camp for rich kids.

Boston Globe

It confuses vulgarity with humor, a problem of epidemic proportions these days.

Creative Loafing

Witless and puerile on every conceivable level, this offered early roles to Dennis Quaid (terrible), Fran Drescher (passable) and Rosanna Arquette (negligible).

Rated: 1/4

Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema

The raunchy camp comedy Gorp, the last film released by American International Pictures, features almost all of the ingredients in Samuel Z. Arkoff's formula but is empty in cinematic nutritional value.

could have been fun if there was a single laugh to be had.

This is one of those 1980's movies that is incredibly raunchy and stupid. So stupid that it is funny. Take it with a grain of salt, get liquored up and watch for fun. Don't take this movie seriously - at all!

I remember watching this in junior high. Years later, I found it on VHS. FINALLY - after all these years, it is coming out on DVD and BluRay. It is a raunchy comedy that existed before Porky's or any of the other raunchy comedies to follow. It has almost no story line. It is just silly and stupid, but it is funny. Don't take this movie seriously. It wasn't meant to be. It is neat to see of the of the cast who went on later to bigger and better roles, but we all have to start somewhere, right? GORP - a 1980's classic in its own way.

It's no MEATBALLS, but worth a look for very early Dennis Quaid, Fran Drescher, and Rosanna Arquette.

78% Welcome to Camp Oskemo! Where mayham and madness rule supreme! Unfortunitly, some of the jokes become heinous as unresponsible filmmakers try and make light of poisoning and drug induced rape. It's one half ANIMAL HOUSE, a quarter of MEATBALLS, and a quarter of PORKY'S. Watch for the girl who almost gets killed, by being run over by a tank. Moral of story: Fuck the man!

(** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] I'm not going to lie; I had fun with this one. But, I still can't quite recommend it. If you love those cheesy 80's camp/sex comedies, you should probably check this out.
