1) Product Description
It's the last day of the 1981 season at Camp Firewood, and the staff and campers are having lots of wacky fun while trying to tie up some loose ends. Camp director Janeane Garofalo wants to act on her crush on astrophysicist David Hyde Pierce, while counselor Michael Showalter is smitten with Marguerite Moreau, who's hot for hunky Paul Rudd. Bradley Cooper and Christopher Meloni also star in this farce from the creators of "The State" TV show. 97 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; audio commentary; behind-the-scenes footage; deleted scenes; biographies; photo gallery; theatrical trailer; more.

Tasty and nutrition-free as a snow cone on a hot summer day, Wet Hot American Summer is a silly, hilarious throwback to those mildly smutty early-'80s teen comedies. It takes place on the last day of Camp Firewood's 1981 season, and it's everyone's last chance for romance, self-realization, and of course the Big Talent show. The movie is filled with brilliant comic performances; it looks like the cast just took over a summer camp and had a great time. Writers Michael Showalter and David Wain have captured the essence of parody: absolutely nailing the conventions of their subject, kidding the hell out of it, and all the while showing a real fondness for the genre. People unfamiliar with Meatballs and its many imitators may well be left cold by Wet Hot American Summer, but anyone born between 1965 and 1980 will love it. --Ali Davis
