yes and it feel and and for the most part play like an after school special and for a slightly more adult audience and alright maybe a teen audience . but add in bill murray ( already show some dramatic as well a his usual comedic talent ) and a nice support cast and and an unexpected sweetness about grow up and and remember those great and or not so great day at summer camp and and you get a heartwarming and funny and sleeper hit . it do get a little too smarmy for it own good and but that be also one of it charm . when you hear the title meatball and and see the poster and you expect a teenage sex romp and but what you get be a sentamental and yet sometimes sexy look back at those formative year at summer camp . the sentamentality and and the remberances of simpler time remind me of a christmas story and which i also love . the rememberances of summer camp be never so well state . the only movie i have see that come close and be indian summer and which i like almost as much a meatball and and also star matt craven . let hope he complete the trilogy . maybe he could come back for return of the meatball and and bring some dignity back to the franchise ( meatball 2 through 4 bare no resemblence to the original classic ) . meatball be easily on my top 10 guilty pleasure of all time ( not really guilty either ) . it a wonderful little film and that always make me smile .
