Connection To THE FRIGHTENERS - Michael J. Fox
So this is a first for the blog, a film with the same name of a film from a previous entry - you can't get the two films confused if you watched them, there's no teenage girl seducing the father of her friend here - this one's suitable for the family and set in a summer camp.
This TV movie in 1985 and released the same year as Teen Wolf and some film about time travelling, Michael J. Fox stars as camp counselor Dennis who works at a boys summer camp and falls in love with the camp nurse Rhonda (Nancy McKeon, who I keep wanting to call Jo) and spends the summer convincing her to leave her doctor fiancee for him. We also spend time with the boys including Jerry who's slick and one a overweight comedian and the shy one who wants to run away, there's few others but I remembered them for their faces rather than character names. Also luckily, so we as audience are not conflicted that when we finally meet her fiancee, he's a bore who doesn't particularly seem to respect her.
Movies about summer camp makes me wish I could have gone to one in America, the British summers are 6ish weeks that was good for not been at school at all but hard to find things to fill the time, I ended up usually watching a lot of films I think.
Anyway like a lot of the summer camp films I've seen, all the kids are different but they all bond and have a really awesome summer - Adam Baldwin's in this as well, he plays another camp counselor who seems to hate kids/people and he is the antagonist most of the time, seriously he has no sense of humour at all, he is just there to be the designated villain.
Overall, sometimes when a film is not bad you keep wanting to go back to the same words because it's the easiest way to describe something. The way I would describe this movie is that it's exactly what I expected, make of that what you will.
