As the summer of 1981 comes to an end at Camp Firewood, the counselors and campers are in a state of chaos. Romantic entanglements. An all-or-nothing talent show. And a piece of NASA’s Skylab is hurtling towards the camp. The comedic cast includes Janeane Garofalo, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Michael Ian Black, and Bradley Cooper.
Tunes: Jefferson Starship, Rick Springfield, KISS, Foreigner, and more kickin’ campfire acts.
This title is Rated R and is recommended for adult audiences only.
This year the Library’s FREE Off-the-Wall rooftop summer film series highlights quirky characters fighting the status quo. These madcap movie escapades are set to memorable soundtracks ideally produced to serve up shenanigans.
