Movie description:
Halifax filmmaker Jacob Medjuck’s long-awaited summer camp comedy has arrived with an in-dustrial-strength sense of humor and a touch of melancholy. With marvelous narration by Hollywood heavyweight John Cusack, Summerhood chronicles a pivotal summer in the life of a 10-year-old nicknamed Fetus, who falls head over heels for the camp’s local preteen beauty. Fetus and his posse have earned their title as the summer resort’s tricksters and outcasts, as they dedicate their time and energy to sinking paddleboats and meddling with the camp public address system. Former DreamWorks and Disney animator Jacob Medjuck abandons all polite expectations writing for and directing his child actors, as if the characters of South Park and Charlie Brown combined for a school play. Be forewarned – this tuneful, nostalgic joyride »featuring« your children is in no way »for« your children. Blisteringly funny and beautifully written, Summerhood joins Meatballs and Bless the Beasts and the Children in the elite cadre of the best summer camp movies of all time.
This serrated send-off on childhood is a heartfelt coming-of-age comedy that observes an in-verse relationship between one’s level of stress and the ability to grow pubic hair. »Does camp feel like prison?« asks this summer saga of four best friends who hate each other. Young Fetus struggles for status while confused by his first summer love. Abandoned by friends, rejected by love, and confined, Fetus risks summers without sunlight for romance and glory.
