Camp Nowhere/YMMV


 * Crowning Music of Awesome: "Linger" by The Cranberries and "The Creator Has a Master Plan" by the Brooklyn Funk Essentials really stand out as gems in a movie that's filled with otherwise forgettable pop/rock.
 * Genius Bonus:
 * Among other things, Winston Churchill speeches and kids performing A Streetcar Named Desire.
 * Dennis' computer camp persona is named Mr. Wozniak.
 * Hollywood Pudgy: Gaby's mom wants to send her to a weight loss camp called Camp Slenderella, and later remarks during Parents' Day that the camp thinned her out. Actress Melody Kay was quite visibly NOT overweight at any point during the movie.
 * Love It or Hate It: On Rotten Tomatoes, Camp Nowhere holds a 10% with critics, and a 56% with users. It's also somewhat of a nostalgic Cult Classic amongst '90s kids.
 * Values Dissonance: Audiences here in the 21st century would be incredulous that any parents would blindly send their children away to random summer camps without doing a little more research into said camps or the camp representatives that Van Welker claimed to be.
 * What an Idiot: Had the kids followed The Con through to the very end and not started celebrating an early victory,
 * What Do You Mean Its for Kids: Aside from the junior high hijinks, and completely ignoring the risqué Covers Always Lie movie poster, you get:
 * Kids re-enacting A Streetcar Named Desire, complete with cursing.
 * Talk of the camp being a former hippie commune ("Lots of sex, and drugs, and debauchery...").
 * Zack and Dennis buying beer. And Zack never gets a "you're too young" lecture, and Dennis doesn't throw it out...
 * Dennis wanting to avoid jailtime and "a 200 pound fiancee named Duke."
 * Betty pretending to skinny dip so she could steal Walter's trunks and embarrass him.
