    Ten Years Later is sturdier and better paced than its admittedly great predecessor, but there are times when you’ll look around and wonder, “Where’d everybody go?” And then the complement to that question: “Why is everybody here?” If there’s any definition of the spirit of Camp Firewood, it’s that the people need the place more than the place needs the people.

    10 Years Later doesn’t feel crowded, nor does it feel overly conditioned by what came before. Its devil-may-care attitude is aptly encompassed by these jokes and these actors.

    A movie about a reunion that is itself a reunion. It is poignant not quite in spite of itself.

    Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later is fun precisely because it seems to be flying by the seat of its early-’90s jeans, feeling free to do whatever it wants, any old time.

    Overall, it’s broad, ridiculous, silly humor that isn’t as daring or progressive as some of the best comedies on TV but it works more often than it doesn’t.

    Even if you aren’t part of the “Wet Hot American Summer” cult, this series should provide plenty of goofy, gonzo fun.

Found myself watching the majority in one sitting. The pacing is fantastic and I found myself wanting to spend time with the characters the whole way through. The ensemble cast is enough to derive enjoyment from David Wain's cult classic revived, "Jane" by Jefferson Starship at the beginning of each episode is simply a bonus. It's goofy, it's majorly off-beat, and this crazy concoction feels more put together and better written than it ever has. The "shoddiness" other reviews complain about are exactly why I loved it. It's obviously cobbled together with aging actors and references no one surely remembers and that's all part of the charm. You gotta watch the movie. Ya gotta see the prequel series. If you're a fan of Wet Hot, it's all here. If you're not already aboard the train, it's easy to admit you'll probably be not only disappointed, but bewildered as to why its so beloved. This fan was majorly entertained. Seeing everyone back at camp is mostly enough though. Just gotta weigh what the series means to you.… Full Review »

    Unacceptable. They are all too old, and in some cases too fat and ugly, to make this work. Half the time is taken up going back to explainUnacceptable. They are all too old, and in some cases too fat and ugly, to make this work. Half the time is taken up going back to explain the past. The tensions, the fun, the sex are all missing. This was a YOUTH show. What jokes there are take ten minutes to articulate.
    There is simply no excuse for watching this. Too much much better stuff.
    And this is the sort of thing i love.    … Full Review »
