Remember ten-ish years ago when Andrew Keegan started his own religion/cult? I wonder if it was like Camp Nowhere.
Camp Nowhere is a quintessential 90s kids hijinks movie. I can only assume the low average score is from people watching it for the first time as adults, people who hate kids and/or the 90s, and people who rate based on likelihood to win awards (and they don't include the Kids Choice Awards). The Doc and Biff reunion should lock it in at three stars minimum.
Camp Nowhere
No parents. No counselors. No rules!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spirited fantasy about kids outsmarting adults by creating their own perfect summer camp. It's the comedic thrill of a scheme actually working, tempered by the dawning realization that unlimited freedom isn't quite what it seemed.
