I do not understand why Hollywood keeps casting Jessica Alba. Her acting is a "Adult Film Star" quality and she always sounds like a tone deaf valley girl.I have never enjoyed anything she is in because she ruins everything. You would think with all the money she has made she would hire an acting coach. I think the only reason why she gets work is because of the casting couch.There is lots of out of work actors that are 100x better than Jessica. Why are they never cast???

Check out the review by KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Camille Bajema below: I like this film because it has a lot of super funny scenes and characters!This film is about four friends, Mud, Zack, Trish, and Gaby, played by Jonathan Jackson, Andrew Keegan, Marnette Patterson, and Melody Kay. These kids' parents want to send each of them to awful summer camps. They are all dreading it until Mud comes up with an idea to make up their own summer camp. They have the money to do it, but the only problem is that they have to have an adult to help them. Luckily, Mud has the "perfect" person in mind: Dennis Van Welker, played by Christopher Lloyd. Dennis has a shady past and is running from the law.Mud is a super smart boy who doesn't want to be sent of to computer camp; Zack is a delinquent who is about to be shipped off to military camp; Trish is a diva who absolutely doesn't want to go to theater camp; and Gaby is super smart and has a crush on Mud! She doesn't want to go to Camp Slenderella!Out of all these wonderful characters, my favorite one is Zack. I like Zack because although he has a frightening reputation, he's really funny and good at heart!My favorite scene in this film is when the parents come to visit their kids and the kids at Camp Nowhere and they have to pretend that the camp is whatever camp they're supposed to be at! Then the police get involved! I like this scene because it's so funny and exciting! The acting in this film is pretty good, although at some points it could have been better.This movie is written by Andrew Kurtzman and Eliot Wald and directed by Jonathan Price.The cinematography in this film is great! I especially love the setting -- a beautiful campus with an amazing lake and nice little camp cabins! It is very picturesque and I I can totally imagine myself there!I recommend this film to both boys and girls from age nine and up because it is a great film the family can watch together, although it is a bit long!I give this film five out of five stars because overall, I think it is very funny, clever and cute!

Well now, I haven't actually seen this movie in a while, so I'll spare the details. Well done? Yes. Humorous? Of course! Plot line? Pretty stinkin' good! Anyhoo, now that I've wasted about four lines on almost nothing, I can't think of too much else to say. I really enjoyed the whole idea, something realistic, and yet fictional enough for a movie. I also liked how it added in it's own little 'problems'. Overall, I think it came out rather well. My only problem? Ever notice how you watch a movie? And the kids on it, /around/ your age, seem pretty 'good looking'? But then, twelve or so years later, you come back and see what happened to this thing you used to worship? This my friends, or whoever, is why I've dropped the topic of 'young people' and moved onto my obsession with funny older men. Scary, eh? But that was off topic. Good job, all you producers out there! . . . . And I'm not too sure about the spoiler thing. Better put it on, just in case . . . .

A wonderful funny movie. It is a good movie with good values. I have loved it since I saw it when it first came out. I have the DVD now and it still continues to make me smile and laugh as I watch it. I wanted to be at the camp with the kids. I watch it now and wish I could just get away and have a camp like that. The kids made there own camp and had, Christopher Lloyd, be there camp representative for multiple camps. Andrew Keagan is in it and when I was younger I thought he was the hottest guy alive so I loved to watch and re-watch the movie. The kids all get in trouble in the end for deceiving their parents and Lloyd gets his debt which has the cops looking for him paid off in a sweet way.
