American Summer
Directed by Michael W. Gray
Now in his 60s, Mikey vividly journeys back to his childhood during one of the best summers of his life when he met the girl of his dreams, Kelly, scored a spot on the travel baseball team, worked his first job and began his growth out of boyhood — all in the sudden wake of his father missing overseas on a military mission.

60 of 148 · most liked firstI'm at the point with Alejandro Iñárritu that just reading about his new film has me rolling my eyes and flailing around like Paul Rudd putting his tray away in Wet Hot American Summer. Tom Cruise dancing around in the trailer? Four screenwriters? The tagline "a comedy of catastrophic proportions?"

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Wet Hot American Summer for the first time with my wife and the casting in this movie is wild for 2001. The casting director had a ridiculous talent for telling who was going to be famous in the future.

This movie is so important to me and I was so happy that this happened! Heythatsmepod.com Engineered by @stevenraymorris.bsky.social

If you’re a fan of David Wain, Wet Hot American Summer, The State, or They Came Together… this will be right up your alley. And if you’ve never seen any of those, go see this anyway, then do yourself a favor and watch them all after.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you'd told me in 2001 that the guy who played Coop in Wet Hot American Summer would go on to direct trashy melodramas (as well as the movie that netted a beloved actress her first Oscar), I'd have thought you were high.

neutral · AI labelView post →We dropped the kid at summer camp yesterday and watched Wet Hot American Summer, a movie that has aged shockingly well for a pre-9/11 comedy.
positive · AI labelView post →It was a lot of fun seeing WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER at Bok Movie Club tonight, with esteemed partner who'd never seen it before I'd only watched it previously on my own, so revisiting it as part of an audience was a treat. (Even if I meaningfully increased the average age of the audience.)

neutral · AI labelView post →This is really cool but it’s not my favorite DVD bonus feature because my favorite is the audio track in Wet Hot American Summer that adds hundreds of fart noises to the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →First of all, I still think "Wet Hot American Summer" is good. "Ghostbusters 2" has to be the worst movie I love and I'll never stop loving it I fear.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wet Hot American Summer (2001) - Perhaps the most retroactively famous cast of any film. For me, this is a laugh riot. Wall-to-wall goofs and gags. Paul Rudd gives a masterclass on physical comedy at one point. It's worth a watch for that, even if not everything lands with you.
positive · AI labelView post →That's one of the reasons I love Wet Hot American Summer so much. The world becomes more insane as the movie goes on, but nobody is pointing it out.

neutral · AI labelView post →Film #209: Wet Hot American Summer Honestly, this is how you do a parody. The humor is just random enough that it's hilarious but not so specific that the humor relies on knowing a reference. Also, The cast is just made of win! It's always fun to go to town, even if just for an hour. #2026Films
