What unfolds is a series of pranks and antics that are both light-hearted and a bit chaotic. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, with some scenes dragging while others hit the mark perfectly. The practical effects, though modest, add a certain charm. It’s really the performances that shine, with the cast embodying those carefree, rebellious spirits that summer camp memories often evoke.
