Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
Aug. 2nd, 2015 08:26 pmLast night I binged-watched all 8 episodes of the Netflix series follow-up to Meloni's 2001 movie, 'Wet Hot American Summer'. Much like the original movie, this 'prequel' series kind of goes back and forth between genuinely giggle-inducing jokes and rolling your eyes at how dumb it is - leaning more towards the roll-your-eyes side. Meloni, as usual, gave a great performance; you could tell just how much fun he was having with it, and loving the ridiculous wig he wore throughout most of it.
( Slight spoilers )
Anyhoo, if you're a fan of the original movie, then you'll probably like this series. If, like me, you found the movie more stupid than funny, you'll likely find the series even stupider. If you only want to watch it for Meloni, then I recommend waiting for the inevitable YouTube compilations of Meloni's scenes, rather putting yourself through watching the whole thing.
Also, if you're a giant perve like me and was hoping for another Bradley Cooper gay sex scene? Trѐs disappointment. One kiss in 8 episodes - let down! ;-P
