Meatballs is a '80s summer camp classic with enough charm and laughs to earn a solid watch tonight—Bill Murray's irreverent energy carries the whole thing even if the plot is pretty thin. The scores suggest it's solidly entertaining rather than essential, but if you want some easygoing, feel-good comedy without pretension, this hits the spot.

Plot

Tripper is the head counselor at a budget summer camp called Camp Northstar. In truth, he's young at heart and only marginally more mature than the campers themselves. Tripper befriends Rudy, a loner camper who has trouble fitting in. As Tripper inspires his young charges to defeat rival Camp Mohawk in the annual Olympiad competition, Rudy plays matchmaker between Tripper and Roxanne, a female counselor at Northstar.
