the plot be predictable . it have be do many time in other movie . you have compete summer camp in this one represent the rich kid vs. the underachiever compete for brag right in the typical camp contest and while the kid and consolers pursue prank and sex and and a good time . be you ready for the summer . meatball be the first ( and best ) summer camp movie for feel good comedy . a others have post and it no citizen kane and but this type of movie isn not mean to be . the film work because of the wonderful comic timing and classic one liner of bill murray . his scene with a camper where he try to raise the kid self esteem be very good . bill one liners throughout the film be very funny . i also like that this movie isn not dirty or explicit like so many other teen at camp movie today . there be some mild sexual innuendo and maybe one or two cuss word in the entire film . but meatball be the type of teen movie that be actually appropriate for the young crowd . it rat pg . this be a movie that you have to see a few time to get all of the joke . when bill murray be on the screen or make one of his classic pa announcement you be draw to the film . bill seem to carry the movie all by himself . but he do it so well and that when you see meatball and you will realize that this be the film that make him a star . a side note to this review be to avoid all of the meatball movie sequel . they be horribly bad .
