Summer Camp tells the story of Nora (Diane Keaton), Ginny (Kathy Bates), and Mary (Alfre Woodard), who have been best friends since being inseparable at summer camp. As the years have passed, they've seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others excitedly. Each of their lives might not be where they'd imagined, but one thing is for sure -- Nora, Ginny, and Mary need each other, and summer camp reminds them why.

Critics Consensus

Pack it in -- this lame comedy is about as fun as summer school.

It's like buying a cheap popsicle at the grocery store. On the right day, it's fine.

Tribune News Service

While there are pops of piquancy in Landon’s script, her direction and the performances (with the exception of Woodard) fail to inspire much more than a shrug. “Summer Camp” is only mildly interesting as another entry in the Keaton-verse.

Rated: 2/4

AARP Movies for Grownups

Through good gags and misfires, the movie is mild entertainment with the advantage of bringing this big band of mature actors together for a serving of fun with a side of hard-won wisdom.

Rated: 3/5

Boston Movie News

“Summer Camp” is a very flawed film and relentlessly predictable. Each woman has a lesson to learn or an epiphany to experience, and their awakening comes right on cue.

Rated: C+

Sioux City Journal

This, however, is merely designed to give the actors work without harming their images or taxing their abilities. Somehow, you want to think those retirement years can bring much, much more.

Rated: 1/4

KTRS Radio (St. Louis)

Normally, the trio of Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard would be golden, but they are not, saddled with an awful script and playing awful characters...nothing to really hold on to and engage.

Love the main characters. I will watch anything they make. The movie was cute & heartwarming. I like movies with aging ladies (probably because I am one & the writers and directors show we still have a lot of life left in us).

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The movie was cute and was good to see with my girlfriends. The story line was cute, but dragged in parts. I liked the actresses in the movie that is what drew me to go and see it.

Loved the cast and the locations and the pace and the message. Nice to see a movie with grownups, even when they are silly. Both wit and physical humor - we laughed. Some language might not be appropriate for young kids, but they know a lot these days.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
