Shameless Camp is in session. Undeniably a vehicle whose parts are much greater than the whole, and whose making was probably more fun than watching. A fluffy, escapist binge watch.
The best moments are one on one where the actors can rise above the material. Amy Poehler and John Slattery - you two are adorable together. Get a series already. Bradley Cooper and Michael Ian Black - you two are adorable together. Get a room already. Jon Hamm and Christopher Meloni in an epic kitchen battle. Elizabeth Banks and Nurse Nancy. Elizabeth Banks and a halter top.
Bubble gum entertainment with a parade of talent who all seem to get a moment to show why we love them on screen. Many times the loose, quick, over the top juvenile shtick wears very thin. But the name "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp" says it all. It's all it promised to be.
So next time, sign me up.
