The overweight Jewish kid in this summer camp movie is called "Israel 'Fat' Sowlowitz". As a film, it doesn't need to accomplish anything else. It's officially awesome. Of course there's no plot, but there is a dude who dresses like a vampire for the entire summer for absolutely no reason (I guess he's a proto goth), a part where the Nanny seduces a rabbi on a bet, a part where everyone takes speed, and the head of the camp is constantly flipping out and screaming hyperbole like "Hooligans! Cutthroats! Rapists!" over inconsequential shit like several thousand dollars worth of property damage. Plus there's the usual assortment of pranks, stunt drinking, fuck bets, food fights, illegal gambling, drunk driving played for laughs (Hooray!), and focused mass destruction deteriorating into genuine anarchy. It's a way better summer camp movie than that overrated suck rag Meatballs, which I already outed as a stealth bad movie in this previous review. The only real problem with this flick is that it's one of those weird movies where people don't take off their clothes to have sex, which especially eats it because the person having most of this sex is the Nanny, and in 1980 she was hot to the nth power, where n = a number too big to fit in the relatively limited space I have to write this review. You probably think I'm exaggerating, but rest assured I am not. Back in the day the Nanny was a force to be reckoned with.
