Summertime Boredom? Not with Wet Hot American Summer

If you did not see the film Wet Hot American Summer back in 2001, called a "cult classic" but some and a dud by others, you are not alone.  I watched it the other week and thought the movie had a number of highs and plenty of lows as it poked fun at all the camp movies that preceded it.  However, the best part was seeing so many top actors and actresses together before they became the stars they are today, including Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, and Bradley Cooper.

Well, they are back tonight on Nexflix in Wet Hot American Summer:  First Day at Camp, but this time they are playing their teenage characters at a point before the last movie, making the scenario more goofy.  It will be fun again to see them all together.  But wait, there's more, because additional cast members include Jason Schwartzman as well as Jon Hamm and John Slattery (with Mad Men over, I guess their summer schedule was free). 

It is clear they are all having fun and we are along for the ride.  This is not great comedy or high cinema.  It is more of a guilty pleasure that many will share with you.  Check out this trailer and start your binging tonight.
