Movie Night 91: Wet Hot American Summer (2001) Director: David Wain
Stars: Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon
Plot: Set in 1981, this movie recounts the wacky events of the last day of summer camp. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth (Janeane Garofalo), who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor (David Hyde Pierce). He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.
