High school senior Danny Whitaker is at a crossroads - should he do what his working-class father thinks is practical and take a job at the local metal factory, or will his loose-cannon guidance counselor convince him to enroll in college? To escape reality, Danny and his band of misfit buddies head to the woods for the town's annual rite-of-passage fishing trip. After a wild party, Danny stumbles upon Goddess Camp, the urban legend high-school boys have fantasized about for years.

While some of the genuine articles sporadically earned chuckles with vulgar sight gags and gratuitous nudity, "Pitching Tents" is too timorous to risk being truly offensive.

[Jim Norton] manages to elevate the script and role he was given and bring comedic life to his character. Unfortunately, the good doesn't help the story's blandness.

I have always felt that with some good writing and a fun attitude you can make a somewhat funny comedy no matter what the budget. Funny things happen in life all the time for free, so why shouldn't it translate into lower budget comedies? That's the big question on my mind as I trudge through Pitching Tents, a coming of age comedy I have watched for From The Depths. So, the big question, is it funny? Well, not really. Pitching Tents has a distinct lack of comedy that lands, Which may be because it really feels as generic as they come. In my full review on www.dasbobsworlds.com <---cheap plug, I mention that the movie feels like a lot of side plots in other better movies got together and form one average film. The main character is just mopey and can't make a decision to save his life, the Goddess Camp that they mention trying to find isn't even really a plot point anymore a few minutes in, and the movie is just about average people doing average stuff at the end of summer before college. I mean if you have seen Superbad, American Pie, and even The Package on Netflix, you have seen more interesting films with the same ideas behind them. It might sound like I really dislike this film, which is somewhat true. I do know there will be people who enjoy it more. But I just don't think it is worth your time. Comedy that doesn't land mixed with generic everything doesn't make for a fun time.

This movie killed! Seriously, the scene with the guys getting beer with the Grandpa was hilarious! Watched it twice - and laughed even harder the second time!

This movie is pure,light-hearted, 80s-cult-film fun! Went to see this with a few friends after many disappointments at the box office and totally felt a bit of John Hughes style filmmaking. Simple story with fun characters and a message. Finally. :)
