It's like buying a cheap popsicle at the grocery store. On the right day, it's fine.

While there are pops of piquancy in Landon’s script, her direction and the performances (with the exception of Woodard) fail to inspire much more than a shrug. “Summer Camp” is only mildly interesting as another entry in the Keaton-verse.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 31, 2024

Through good gags and misfires, the movie is mild entertainment with the advantage of bringing this big band of mature actors together for a serving of fun with a side of hard-won wisdom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2024

There's nothing remotely believable -- or funny -- about Summer Camp, a dull comedy about a trio of childhood friends who reunite for the 50th anniversary of their summer camp, and learn painfully obvious life lessons along the way.

| Original Score: D | May 30, 2024

There’s a rather heroic amount of heavy-lifting forced upon the three leads, faced with a script from writer-director Castille Landon that gives them the barest of minimums to work with and a plot so underbaked that it feels more like a pilot episode.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2024

Landon’s film doesn’t stir the soul or tickle the funnybone, and yet it’s reassuring and friendly and that has some value too.

| May 30, 2024

Veering between strained slapstick and thoughtful tête-à-têtes, this boomer-focused reunion comedy strands a game cast of accomplished septuagenarians in a mostly laugh-free zone of zip lines and predictable beats.

| May 30, 2024

It’s surely a worthy enough premise for a good time, but one “Summer Camp” squanders through dull jokes, an uninspiring story without any real stakes and an overall phony feeling that the film can’t shake.
