I had seen this film on VHS all those years ago and I still hold it up with other ensemble comedy dramas like Beautiful Girls. Indian Summer has that old style of filmmaking that has disappeared from Hollywood. It is a shame they don't create more films like this for the family and the indie market. They are funny and well developed, the confrontations tend to develop from the proximity of the characters. Great film and don't believe the critics, this is a coming of age story that is very funny. 01/01/2019.

I love movies about summer camp. I don't know what it is, but when I was a kid, I was too homesick and terrified to actually enjoy the experience of summer camp. Now, looking back, or watching movies like Indian Summer, or even Meatballs and Little Darlings, I realize how special the experience of summer camp can be for kids with the courage and maturity to appreciate it. What is great about Indian Summer is, these 30-somethings get to return to their beloved camp as adults for one final week of camp before the camp closes for good. As the old saying goes, "youth is wasted on the young," and this movie captures that spirit by allowing these former campers one more week to relive some of the best times of their lives. I don't have fond memories of my one summer at camp, perhaps I was too young or immature to relax and enjoy it. I just wanted to survive and get home. Watching this movie makes me want to go to camp now, at age 42. In fact, my girlfriend and I are taking the journey to the very lake where this movie was filmed - Tea Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada, in about 2 weeks. I can't wait. The location Director, Mike Binder picked to relive his real-life childhood camp experience is Camp Tamakwa, on Tea Lake in Algonquin Park. It's in the heart of Canada's wild, natural, untouched National Park and a perfect place to make a film like this. The casting is decent, although I could do without Kevin Pollak. The acting is fine. The only real problem with this movie, and it's a pretty big problem, is that it feels like one, long, inside joke where everyone is laughing hysterically at each of dozens of memories and most of them feel forced or not entirely believable. The actors are doing their best to express nostalgia, but it only works sometimes. An example of where it works much better is The Big Chill. We learn more about the characters and their respective relationships in that film than we do in this one. This is still a fun movie, more so for those, like me, who love the idea of camp and long for a second chance to go back and experience it. It's why we go camping in the woods as adults and why so many people buy motorhomes and journey into the woods. We all want to be campers again. And, as adults, we are better able to appreciate how special the experience is. And how lucky was Matt Craven? He got to play Hardware in Meatballs in 1979 and then Jamie Ross, 14 years later, in this film AND is engaged to gorgeous Kimberly "Father of the Bride" Williams. Lucky. I will add an addendum to this review next month after we visit the lake where this movie was filmed, and perhaps even visit the actual camp Tamakwa. I just hope it lives up to my expectations. My trip is, after all, inspired in part by this film! The movie was mostly fun for Mike Binder and childhood friend Sam Raimi, who plays Stick, as they revisit their childhood camp Mike attended for 10 straight summers. No wonder he wanted to make this movie! However, it's just another reason why it feels like such an inside joke - an experience we all wish we could have been in on, but most of us weren't.

This movie brings back memories of camp! Anyone who hasn't been to camp can never completely appreciate this movie. It's all about the bonds you make that last a lifetime, the memories you can't forget, the growing that takes place there, and how you mark your life by the summers at camp. The seven friends want to save this camp because it was a huge part of their childhood. The characters are real: a couple struggling with martial problems, a woman whose husband died, a man dealing with regret. There are so many storylines going on at once but it adds depth and life to the movie.
