Comedy

Overview

The second in-name-only sequel to the first Meatballs summer camp movie sets us at Camp Sasquash where the owner Giddy tries to keep his camp open after it’s threatened with foreclosure after Hershey, the militant owner of Camp Patton located just across the lake, wants to buy the entire lake area to expand Camp Patton. Giddy suggests settling the issue with the traditional end-of-the-summer boxing match over rights to the lake. Meanwhile, a tough, inner city punk, nicknamed Flash, is at Camp Sasquash for community service as a counselor-in-training where he sets his sights on the naive and intellectual Cheryl, while Flash’s young charges befriend an alien, whom they name Meathead, also staying at the camp for the summer.

Viewing Notes

Love. This. Sequel.

I know I’m not the only one, but I’m one of the few. This has everything - Paul Reubens, John Laroquette as a gay military man, Richard Mulligan, kids watching SHOCK WAVES (!), a badass wheelchair/hoverround, and a freaking alien!!!

The. Best.
