  • Settle back for a delightful INDIAN SUMMER -- the heartwarming comedy about eight friends who reunite at their summer camp after 20 years! Starring an impressive ensemble cast including Diane Lane (UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN) and Alan Arkin (AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS, GROSSE POINTE BLANK) -- as soon as the visitors arrive they return to the best summer of their lives: practical jokes, midnight kitchen raids, boat races, campfire stories, and secret romances pick up right where they left off! And with so much hilarity and excitement, the fun never stops. Pack your gear, this week at camp is sure to be a hilarious and feel-good treat for everyone.

    ...with this group of actors (including Sam Raimi, of all people, as a clumsy handyman) it's hard to ever really get bored.

    Mike Binder places his well-acted comedy in the familiar turf of other "reunion" films (Return of Secaucus Seven, Big Chill), adding one element to the genre: Instead of indoor weekend, the regrouping is set in a beloved camp of the 1972 summer

    Indian Summer is a feel-good comedy about eight friends who are reunited with each other at a camp.

    Just too pat, too predictable and too generic.

    Binder serves up an unappetizing concoction of Big Chill and Ernest Goes to Camp stew.

    This is a story more interested in tone and mood than in big plot points.
