That was an excellent one.

A Masterpiece!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The style of comedy used in both the series and the original film was ahead of its in 2001 and still ahead of its time in 2015. At least that is my theory justifying the amount of negative reviews on the film and series.The writing is brilliant while complimented perfectly by a talented cast who each played their roles without flaw. The writing, acting, directing, etc. are like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly to create a picture that is yet to be duplicated. This series is one of a kind in the best way possible. The satirical style of comedy created by the people in front of the camera and behind the camera is its own style that nobody else is quite able to replicate. All the negative reviews are over my head. I cannot express how much I loved the series, I cannot say enough good things about it, and I cannot give it anything less than 10 stars.

We tried watching the movie (which I'd never heard of until about a week ago), and just didn't get it. But we decided to try the show anyway since 40-somethings in wigs playing teens seemed like an amusing idea. And it was! For me, that joke never got old. Besides that, there were some great parody story lines, playing on old TV and movie tropes, that I found very funny.-Standout Actors-The show is worth watching for Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks alone. They both went hilariously over the top, plus their story lines were among the funniest. Kristen Wiig, Josh Charles, Chris Pine, and Michael Cera were standouts in smaller roles, for the same reason.-This show is polarizing -- for a reason-Some people won't get the humour here, perhaps because they just don't appreciate irony and absurdism. But maybe there's another reason… I think some people haven't been exposed to all the cheesy after school specials and movies of the week that this show is parodying. TV has become pretty sophisticated in the past decade or so; it's not quite as innocent (and in some cases, silly) as it used to be. And if you're not familiar with what's being parodied, it's hard to get the joke.

Yet another "wet blanket" to add to the list of financially and internally motivated uprated shows/movies from Netflix Originals. I read that Netflix does not look at the ratings of their shows to avoid the messy mid-first season cancellations that other networks like NBC face and not to affect the shows "integrity". This however is a double edged sword as Wet Hot American Summer can attest to. This show along side of other "financially motivated" over rated "WET BLANKETS" of Netflix Originals, such as "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", "Sense8" and even... yes... dodge incoming flak..."House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" are well in over rated territory. Do all of us a favour, if you ever find yourself caught up in the nonsense of "what's in" and what is currently being talked about at your local water cooler... which in turn may cause breakouts of overratedness and loss of common sense... do what everyone should do... a palate cleanser. Just look at Breaking Bad and its rating of 9.5. Do you really think that shows such as Wet Hot.., Unbreakable Kimmy.., etc, etc... really only deserve to be separated by 1 to a 1.5 star rating?

The people who experienced the movie during the era it came out are the only ones that stand to have a solid opinion on the series. I'm in my mid 30's and the movie when it came out was a way of life and influenced the direction of your social life practically. With that said, the series is exactly what I expected it be. A dull empty redux of an iconic film created by young aggressive alternative comedic geniuses in the creative prime of their lives. Who brought with them, enough fresh untapped groundbreaking material to sink a cargo ship. Now why the very same people would come back 14 years later with nothing left but their hat in their hands material wise and attempt to fill a series with it, is a question that can be asked of most movie/series reboots these days. The formula is always the same. Young talent dumps life's blood into master work. Master work soars. Talent gets old, rich, and bored. What is born, is Wet Hot American snore. The series.
