Wet Hot American Summer is set in 1981 and deals with the experiences of the last day of summer camp. Did you go to camp? Did you not? The movie actually doesn't really care; you don't need those experiences to relate to any of the action that takes place. And as for that time period, it doesn't matter if you were graduating high school in the 1980s or not yet born. The movie doesn't look back on that time period with any sort of nostalgia, it uses its setting instead to generate some 'look at this goofy thing they used to do' sort of fun.

Set on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, "Wet Hot American Summer" follows a group of counselors who are each trying to complete their unfinished business before the day ends. The entire summer of pent-up sexual frustrations, unresolved post-traumatic stress, pending separations and of course, the talent show, all weigh heavily on the minds and groins of counselors and campers alike.

"Wet Hot American Summer" is pathetically self-satisfied with its idiocy -- as if the irony of making a bad movie on purpose automatically makes it shrewdly funny. But the bad acting, the structureless script, the frequently trite-on-top-of-trite lampoonery and the utterly incompetent editing -- intentional or not -- make the picture very nearly unwatchable.
