A majority of the storytelling gags rise above the purely juvenile, although sometimes just barely.
Good things can sometimes come out of that sort of chaos, but that chaos could use some boundaries.
Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a rarity: a sitcom that is funnier than the movie that inspired it.
Too often "jokes" were laboured in this vein, while a conveyor belt of fine actors, from Jason Schwartzman to Janeane Garofalo, were left with little space to act.
Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp gets a lot of mileage out of funny names, ridiculous pop culture references and wildly inconsistent accents.
The 8-episode series mostly succeeds by sheer force of will. The viewers are so bombarded by jokes that something is bound to tickle you eventually-though truth be told it may take awhile.

It’s good to know the film inside and out, but it’s not mandatory. There are a lot of strange decisions, great cameos, and references to the original film that make it worth seeing for its own merit. Pretty much everyone comes back for this show, and play the same characters but in a vulnerable, innocent way. Some things have definitely changed, because this is set all the way back to the beginning of camp, eight weeks prior.
