Jerry's parents were huge aholes. Why don't they try monitoring his diet at home before shipping him off for the summer? Lazy arse parenting IMO.

Lars was ahead of his time with the "buddy" system in the lake. But did he preassign buddies? What if he blew the whistle and your buddy wasn't near you, or you were in a group of 3 and were the odd man out?

Would one dance to "Love Machine" really make all those girls magically fall in love with the Camp Hope guys?

Nicholas- how in the world do you think Uncle Tony got a Hershey kiss being locked in that cage? And if you are so fat you want a piece of choclate wouldn't you just make him slide it on under the cage door? That kid was actually pretty smart (seen in the Hall of Intelligence during the Apache Relay), but cmon kid... really?!?!

During the Apache Relay, the guy from Camp MVP couldn't name 5 US Vice Presidents. How did he magically get a pass after the Brit destroyed him?

Also in regards to the Apache Relay, Camp Hope was actually in the lead going into the go kart portion of the race, so why did they take so long to get Jerry up and running? He started at the same time as the Camp MVP kid.



I love that this movie was directed by Judd Apatow.

Ehh, it was supposed to be a fun fat camp. If you look at today's parenting, you would not see much of a difference.

I'm assuming Lars gave them "boddies" before going into the water.

Other than that, spot on. I always hated that Camp MVP was able to advance through the hall of intelligence.

Some cases get so bad, you need to turn it over to a professional. I believe this was the case.

No, the Greeks.

If your buddy wasn't around, you had better find him. If you were in a group of 3 and not 4, you had already failed the buddy system.

Have you ever been on a dance-floor with a chick out of your league when this song comes on? It is a panty-dropper.

He was blinded by his lust for all things milk-chocolate to rationally process the probability.

He got a few hints.

I'm actually stumped on this one.

What bugs me is that there are athletic kids who are also smart...why the frick would they put that particular idiot on the one part of the race that you have to be smart for?

The counselors let down their kids with that stupid move IMO.

Failed the entire camp with that stupid move. And he should be able to spot a legit Hershey Kiss from a mile away and known that was a fake.

when Josh got kicked out, why didn't he get his lawyer father to come sue the hell out of Tony for running a Nazi style fat camp


No dinner, no lunch, no breakfast. How's that grab you? Hmmmm?

Legit question. And who doesn't know 5 VPs? Hell, just start naming President's and you'll eventually hit 5.

if memory serves me correct, the prior step before the go kart race was the skipping along the trail in which both teams were neck and neck and finished at the same time resulting in both teams starting the go kart race at the same time.

That movie didn't make me laugh. It just creeped me the frick out especially Ben Stiller's character.

I love when Tony first introduces himself and his crew to all the campers. At the end of it he runs down the aisle and everyone leaves him hanging on his high five. Then you hear one kid say "I wanna go home" in a little fat kid voice before it cuts to the next scene.
