Wet Hot American Summer
Wet Hot American Summer is a 2001 American satirical comedy film directed by David Wain from a screenplay written by Wain and Michael Showalter. The film stars an ensemble cast that includes Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Showalter (and various other members of the sketch comedy group The State), Marguerite Moreau, Ken Marino, Michael Ian Black, Zak Orth, A. D. Miles, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper (in his film debut), Marisa Ryan, Kevin Sussman, Joe Lo Truglio, and Elizabeth Banks.
It takes place during the last full day at a fictional summer camp in 1981, and spoofs the sex comedies aimed at teen audiences of that era.
The film was a critical and commercial failure; it has since developed a cult following, and many of its cast members have gone on to high-profile work. Netflix revived the franchise with the release of Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, an eight-episode prequel series starring most of the film's original cast, on July 31, 2015; and Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, an eight-episode sequel series, set ten years after the original film, on August 4, 2017.
The film shows the last day of the 1981 summer camp Camp Firewood, located near Waterville, Maine, concentrating on the experiences of the camp counselors, most of whom are students aged around 16. The interleaved story threads meet in the evening at the camp talent show:
Cook Gene, a Vietnam War veteran, clumsily tries to hide his various sexual fetishes. After being encouraged by a talking can of vegetables, he proudly admits them to the campers and counselors in front of the packed food hall, to great applause.
Zealous drama instructors Ben and Susie organize a talent show to be held on the last evening. Ben is in love with counselor McKinley. They have passionate sex and are later symbolically married by Beth in a ceremony by the lake. Beth forces Ben and Susie to give the last slot of their talent show to strange outsider Steve, who surprises everyone when, during his time on stage, an intense storm breaks out inside and outside the venue, created with the power of his mind. He receives a wild ovation.
Counselor Coop is secretly in love with counselor Katie, but she is dating attractive Andy, who is obnoxious and inconsiderate and cheats on her with Lindsay. Katie decides to find a girl for Coop. When they spend time together during the day, Katie develops feelings for him. Eventually they kiss, but Katie returns to Andy and tells Coop they made a mistake.
A devastated Coop is found by Gene, who performs a rigorous training regimen with him. A newly buff Coop impresses Katie at the talent show and she declares her love for him. But when both bid farewell the next morning, she explains that she has returned to Andy again, even though she knows he is a terrible boyfriend, because he is very attractive and she is only interested in sex at the moment, leaving Coop speechless.
