Washington PostAmy NicholsonMay 31, 2024
The story is as predictable as a campfire song. Each of the friends has one core problem to fix, but the film is really about the meandering path to enlightenment, which takes frequent detours for food fights, pillow fights and pottery classes with a lot of awkwardly erotic squelching.

TheWrapWilliam BibbianiJun 24, 2024
Summer Camp is not a particularly good movie but it’s the kind of movie that makes a film critic wonder what 'good' really is, anyway." Read full review

Screen RantBen GibbonsJun 7, 2024
While the film does win some laughs, and the third act is noticeably better than the first two, Summer Camp won't be for everyone. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshMay 31, 2024
While there are pops of piquancy in Landon’s script, her direction and the performances (with the exception of Woodard) fail to inspire much more than a shrug. “Summer Camp” is only mildly interesting as another entry in the Keaton-verse. Read full review

It all amounts to a passable second activity watch at best. Read full review

By the time the film settles down to give us a few solid dramatic scenes, I appreciated the effort but had long since stopped caring. Read full review

VarietyTomris LafflyMay 30, 2024
It’s surely a worthy enough premise for a good time, but one “Summer Camp” squanders through dull jokes, an uninspiring story without any real stakes and an overall phony feeling that the film can’t shake. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 31, 2024
Alfre Woodard, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Kathy Bates and Dennis Haysbert burn through some of their supply of good will on “Summer Camp,” an all-star comedy with AARP casting appeal and nothing else going for it. Read full review
