Camp Nowhere
We had never heard of this 90's comedy of errors until Uncle Peter recommended it. The kid decided his description sounded pretty exciting so that's what we sat down to this week. It stars one of the worst movie kid hairstyles of all time, a young Andrew Keegan (10 things I hate about you) and weirdly both Christopher Lloyd and Thomas Wilson from Back to the Future.
Camp Nowhere tells the story of a group of kids who decide not to go to the summer camps their parents have chosen, but instead to sneakily start their own. Hilarity and hi jinks ensue before things turn to custard (as they often do) but the end is not as painful as it could have been.
Rating: We enjoyed Camp Nowhere although I found it a little slow. Parents may also find it a little far fetched but this was all part of the fun. The kid thought it was cool, probably because a whole summer without parents sounded amazing.
Naughty bits: There is quite a bit of teen kissing at the end but very little coarse language and no violence. The video below shows what we do when we see kissing in a movie. Our cousins taught us this silly thing and the kid loves it.
Snacks: Lima beans (jokes!!) or toasted marshmellows/smores
Family In-quotes: "Just because I'm smart doesn't mean I can't act stupid"
