Family Camp

I did not laugh – at all – at this movie… there might have been two spots where I could have mildly amused (charitably), but it didn’t touch my face – not even the touch of a smile or smirk – and I certainly didn’t laugh. This was just an aggressively unfunny film that went from about an hour and fifty tedious minutes.

It’s basically just a film about a family that attends a “family” camp – or a bible camp since it’s a church camp. The husband doesn’t want to be there, they wind up in a shared yurt with an unlikeable but very religious family. Camp hijinks ensue.

This is a PG rated film that’s got a religious core… but neither should preclude it from being funny. Yeah, there’s only so adult (or juvenile) the comedy can get, but there’s still comedy that can be mined.

It just wasn’t funny. I’m not even sure children would think its funny… it didn’t give me the vibe of a movie that was pandering to the kiddies. So the family audience probably would like it.

Not sure what else to say. I’m not really sure why I went to see it besides having an AMC Stubs ticket burning a hole in my pocket and time to spare. Stay away.
