Wet Hot American Summer

On the last day of camp a group of wacky, hormone raging counselors are trying to save their day of fun in the sun from a falling renegade piece of a NASA space station. The down-to-earth camp director Beth (Janeane Garofalo) tries to keep herself sane and the camp in order while she falls in love with astrophysics Associate Professor Henry Nueman (David Hyde Pierce). But Henry and his group of geek campers are focused on their science projects and their discovery of the impending apocalyptic destruction of their camp by the hurtling space debris. After a day of wild antics and sexual escapades it's time for the long awaited talent show. But the hurtling chunk of space station is still on a crash course for the camp. Will the counselors get their chance to get it on? Or will the grand finale be bigger than anyone dreamed? "Send-up of 1970s/'80s teen flicks is subversive fun, with a lot of heart amid the satire." - Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide.
