When I saw this pop up on Netflix I was intrigued by the cast. It had to be funny right? I tried to watch the first couple episodes and left midway through the second. I didn't know if it was because I did not see the movie or what. It just did not seem funny or nostalgic. That was a few months ago, fast forward to this summer and I saw that the WHAS 10 years later was out. So I decided to check that out, just to see if it was anything better. I don't know why but I found it hilarious, I loved the first episode so much I immediately stopped watching and went back and started watching the original series, then the movie that started it all. Maybe I didn't get it the first time or the "10 years later" premise sparked a renewed interest. The idea of these older comedians playing kids was magic and their naivete made it priceless. For whatever reason you gave up on it from the start, try it again, you might be glad you did.

would have given it a 9 or 10, very funny to me. Enjoyed most parts of the series. There was a lot of quality laughs and great script. Only reason that I did not give it a higher score was because there was no bare breasts, which is pretty disappointing being the level of attractiveness of some of the actresses in the cast. Don't want to give away any spoilers but there was many strange parts to the show as well. Watched the entire season in one night so maybe I did not get the "cliff hanger" effect the show was going fro when the episodes ended but it was very easy for me follow what was going on. Overall fantastic show.

This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I never saw the movie. You could make a game out of people trying to figure out which moments were spoofs of other TV or movie moments. It's just non stop hilarious moments.It spoofs dramas, comedy, horror, action, political dramas, etc..... It is brilliant.The over exaggeration of how movies are made is great. Basically in most movies much older actors will play a character that is much younger than they are. Like most teenage characters are played by actors in their 20s The movie goes over the top with the actors in their 30s or maybe 40s, playing 16 year old kids.I love it when a great concept like this becomes a series. A movie just doesn't have enough time to develop the story like a TV series does. For me......It's brilliant for a comedy equivalent to how The Walking Dead is for a zombie- drama.

Crazy? Check.Stupid? Check.Nonsensical? Check.Hilarious? Check.But did you expect anything less from a Wet Hot American Summer prequel?Fans of David Wain's 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer will be jumping for joy at this show. The humour is much the same yet somehow manages to become even more random with some of the craziest subplots I think I may have ever seen, however it is all consistently funny and had me laughing non- stop. But above all the show is incredibly meta, a tough job done well!Seeing the cast of the original return for this was a real joy to behold. The likes of Elizabeth Banks, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehler effortlessly slip back into their roles and seem to pick up right where they left off in 2001, seeing how these actors have hit the big time with their careers only heightens the hilarity of seeing them return to their roles 15 years on, the meta aspect of this being a prequel series with the older actors only adds in to make the mere concept of the show even funnier. However seeing the likes of Janeane Garofalo, Michael Showalter, Zak Orth, Michael Ian Black and Christopher Meloni reprising their roles is also a real joy to behold, especially given that they may not have had careers that reached the same heights as Rudd and Cooper. And you can tell that they are all having a blast!The rest of the cast is simply hilarious with a whole host of big, new names joining the show furthering the meta aspect of the show. New additions include Randall Park, Jason Schwartzman, Michael Cera, John Hamm, Lake Bell, Kirsten Wiig, Weird Al and Chris Pine among others.But in the midst of all this hilarity, just when you think that it can't get any funnier, something dawns on you...All these events are happening over the course of one day.One day.The only downside to this show is that there are only 8 episodes, we need more!!!For fans of the original, this will not disappoint. For new Wet Hot American Summer viewers, welcome to the chaotic comedy that is Wet Hot American Summer.
