A truly interesting situation which the filmmakers generally leave wilting in the sun.

It's sweet, likable and even vaguely hip.

Camp Nowhere should go nowhere near kids.

No kid is going to buy into a movie that revolves around a geek who isn't a geek and a fat girl who isn't fat.

Innocent fun and should appeal to the pre-teen audience.

A cheaply made harmless summer camp comedy for kids. It has a few laughs.
