Starring : Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Marguerite Moreau, Paul Rudd, Zak Orth
Director : David Wain
Running Time : 97 mins

It's 1981 and it's the last day of summer at Camp Firewood, which means it's the last chance for the boys and girls staying there to score with someone so they don't have to lie about their time at camp. As the teens desperately try to find anyone who will so much as snog them, Beth the camp director (Garofalo) discovers that some space wreckage is going to hit the camp, potentially killing everyone!

Very much in the vain of Dazed And Confused, this teen comedy takes a variety of characters and lumps them together in one locale, telling briefly parts of their story as the movie progresses. Primarily the story focuses on camp director Janeane Garofalo and the astonomist-next-door David Hyde Pierce as they try to impress each other by learning each other's trade, but the slapstick sotries of the teenagers really make this movie work.
