The actors seem way too in on the joke

Everybody in this movie seems to have just walked out of a high school improv class. It feels fake and forced. The performances are almost condescending at times. So much of this film comes off lame and unfunny with dreadful forced bits like the camp cook that gets his jollies by humping the camp fridge. Did anybody really laugh out loud from this? The movie comes off like some hip L.A improv actors watched "Meatballs" for the first time and then thought it would be really funny to make their own summer camp comedy!! The movie has some funny people in the cast like Amy Poehler but it doesn't help much. David Hyde Pierce is especially unfunny as some kind of a science nut. The major problem here is the movie comes off fake, as if the actors are just trying way too hard to prove just how funny they can be and part of the joke seems to be way over the top characters that just come off as silly, for instance why does the host of the talent show look like a kid in a bad high school play with a bad wig and over the top costume and terrible forced accent? By looking at the whole look of the characters in their 70's attire, It's kind of like this movie wants to be a summer camp version of "Dazed and Confused" but it just fails miserably. The only way this movie could have been any worse is if Will Ferrell was playing a coach and yelling at everybody and blowing a whistle through the whole movie. Pass on this one.
