Sweethearts (1997)
Offbeat.
I'll keep this nice and short, folks. This film did not 'bomb'. Its not particularly realistic, although only the room-mate of a manic-depressive could accurately comment on that aspect of the film. And besides, not to get all celestial...but there are many people walking this fine little earth and I do believe that this film shows human beings are unpredictable and they have an array of emotions bursting to get out. It's not profoundly romantic, although only someone who has love well and truly figured out could expertly comment on that asepect of the film. I thought the acting was offbeat and completely intriguing and I enjoyed it.
Camp Nowhere (1994)
'The Sting' for Summer Camp.
In true Paul Newman/Robert Redford fashion, this film screams fun. With a unique cast, led by the ever eccentric Christopher Lloyd, a former drama teacher leads a team of kids to a summer camp free of work, parents or any authoritative counselors. He is encouraged by four bright but disgruntled youngsters who dread the thought of spending summers being trained to live up up to their parents expectations: fat camp, acting camp, military school and computer camp. But the shenanigans do not come into classic play until the kids' parents insist on visiting them at their "educational" camp. This joins ' The Goonies' and 'Willow' and one of the many films that my own kids will grow up watching...but I think if you are watching this film...like me, you are far too much of a child yourself to be thinking about actually having children!
