Matthew D @ImRightYoureWrong Apr 8 Vic might be one of my favorite characters in all of cinema. He's cool, resourceful, an absolute leader and a winner. He's a bad ass with standards. Principles. Oh, you don't like Vic? You think he's a jerk? You would say that. You probably gave "White Water Summer" 2 stars. Okay, nerd. Go back to NYU and cry in your mom's boyfriend's dorm room. This movie's for modern, rugged masculine men, men who sleep next to other men in pitched tents under the stars, take off their shirts in the hot sun so beads of sweat can trickle down the napes of their necks across freckled flesh into toasty navels. This movie's about freedom, unbridled masculinity in a world where the real you is pushed into a closet, a deep, dark, shameful closet of cubicles and desk jobs. Not this summer, this summer these boys are bustin' out, gushing like a white water geyser not you, or your parents or society can hold back. So don't even try it. Because it's White, it's Water, and it's SUMMER. See more Quinn G. @Quinn Aug 15 Big fun lolz! 5 stars alone for B-side Bruce Hornsby tunes in the soundtrack. That Northface gear back in ‘87 musta cost half the movies budget! Also I’d never let my kid or anyone else’s cross that sketchy bridge. Edit to add: the cinematographer also did Stanley Kubricks ‘The Shining’ and ‘A Clockwork Orange’ See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 23 Success in 1 hour and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Blu B @RT43513976 02/11/2025 The whole Ferris Bueller style narration scenes every so often are so unneeded and stupid. Besides that this is a standard run of the mill family camping outdoors family adventure. Pretty standard stuff. The biggest issue is the editing isn't that good and everything else is just alright. We're just thrown into this trip after a less than 5 minute intro to everyone. Outside of Bacon & Astin the other members all blend in TERRIBLY. I can't tell you one thing about the other kids on this trip if you had a handgun to my head. No one really has that much chemistry either. And Astin & Bacon are just alright. Once they arrive on the trip it feels like stuff just happens. If you removed or rearranged any of the things that happen on the trip it really doesn't change much. The music is standard late 80's sounding stuff too. Doesn't really fit a adventure like this and dates it but it is kind of catchy. The on location outdoors setting is nice and the direction is alright. Again this needed better characters and a tighter story more than anything. This tries being a bit like a coming of age story and a camping adventure but really doesn't do much. It's very lighthearted kind of stuff here. And it's pretty predictable. Skip This. It's kind of harmless but nothing worth much time. See more Steve D @RT35616104 03/03/2023 Bacon can't save this awful script.
