2001’s Wet hot American Summer is a profoundly stupid Movie. I love it. IT’S NOT REALLY A FILM SO MUCH AS A BUNCH OF LOOSELY CONNECTED SKITS AT A 1980S SUMMER CAMP THAT ALL SMASH TOGETERT AT THE END.

Everyone wants to touch or be touched, depending on which character you’re following in Wet hot American Summerand some of me are sucesssful.
