Review of Meatballs

Meatballs (1979)
4/10
Dated, plot less, and not very funny
18 February 2005
This is a simplistic comedy about a summer camp and the counselors that work there. This film is nothing more than that. Bill Murray tries his best to save this fitfully funny comedy, but the film still fails. It may have been funny back when it first came out, but now it just looks sad. Time has not been kind to this one. It even tries to be sentimental at times, which also fails. I realize that this comment will probably be placed near the bottom, because whenever I write a negative comment it always gets voted as "not helpful" which is understandable I guess. Anyway, back to the film. All in all this is a dated comedy which should only be viewed for nostalgic value. **/*****.
