Wet Hot American Summer | Year: 2001 Classification: Comedy Directed: - David Wain Actors/Actresses: - David Hyde Pierce - Janeane Garofalo - Molly Shannon - Paul Rudd Best Movie Ever I saw this movie a few weeks ago not knowing beforehand that several members of the State are in it and that Wain and Showalter produced and wrote it. The first time I saw it I thought it was great. Upon second and subsequent viewings I realized that it is the smartest and funniest comedy ever made. Yes, this is just my opinion, but that doesn't make it any less true. Showalter, Black, Marino and Lo Truglio are simply amazing. The rest of the cast is great too, especially Christopher Meloni (sp?) as Gene. Garafolo and Pierce are easily the least funny people in the movie, but even they pull off a few good moments. By the way, if you are stupid (i.e. Roger Ebert) you will probably not like this movie. It will leave you confused and angry. If you are a real person, however, you will want to watch it constantly. Hopefully Showalter and Wain will make another movie soon. Again, funniest movie ever made... Either you like it or you won't The story takes place at the Jewish summer camp, Camp Firewood. It takesplace in one day and has numerous plot lines that tell the stories of different campers. Victor tries to loose his virginity while a group of nerds works to save the camp from destruction. There are probably a dozen hilarious different side stories in this movie. The characters are the best part. Each character has a different quirk in their personality and plays out their role extremely well. The movie also pokes fun at alot of 80s movies and the parody parts are very well done. I found myself reciting lines from this movie months after I saw it. this camp is a little bit coo-coo, if you get my drift Paul Rudd (Anchorman, The Object Of My Affections), Janeane Garafalo (Copland, Minus Man), David Hyde Pierce(Tv's Fraiser, Osmosis Jones), Michael Ian Black (Tv's Ed, Tv's Viva Variety), Amy Poehler (Tv's Upright Citizens Brigade, Tv's SNL), Christopher Meloni (Tv's Law and Order SVU, Tv's Oz), Molly Shannon (Superstar, Osmosis Jones) and Marguerite Moreau (Queen Of The Damned) head an allstar cast in this satire about life on the last day of camp. The cast do some funny things. Meloni, the camp cook, has an inspiring speech towards the end about wiping mud on his ass and humping a fridge and also when he is talking to canned goods. Pierce and Garofalo are a perfect match for each other. Michael Ian Black has never been more funnier playing a kid who is gay and gets married in the lake and Paul Rudd plays Moreau's jealous boyfriend. Though sometimes crude and tasteless jokes weigh it down, it springs back up with a lot of heart.
