“Iu0026#39;m always willing to give a summer camp movie a try. Heavyweights (1995) was and is a great movie. I tried this one and it was a complete miss. I wondered why the actors and actresses looked so young when the movie claimed to be made in 2024 on the streaming service. On here it says 2023. Thankfully someone had posted a super helpful fact under Trivia here that said u0026quot;Shot in 2016 but not released until eight years later.u0026quot; Exactly. The old DVD that sits on a shelf for almost a decade routine. Usually itu0026#39;s a few years but in this case itu0026#39;s eight. The more years it sits, the worse it ages. That sums up this movie. If this movie was good and test audiences gave it good reviews, it wouldnu0026#39;t have sat on a shelf for 8 years.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGetting to the movie itself – itu0026#39;s just an unnecessary movie. As in, most of the characters are incredibly vapid and just insult each other. It became so over the top. I found myself losing interest quickly as I couldnu0026#39;t relate to anyone. I ended up sitting through the whole thing but it was tedious and I was happy once the credits rolled. If there was a masked killer picking people off during it, at least there would have been a point.”
