Wet. Hot. American. Summer.


Sure, it sounds like a filthy wilderbeast, wallowing in the self pity and loathing that is the world of the internet. And I can't really blame you, with such an innovative title, who could suspect that such a film actually holds such genius. Directed by David Wain, who has recently brought us the wondrousnessnessness of 'Role Models' (and also The Ten, but that's not as good so shhhhhhhh), the film sets about detailing the last day of summer camp in 1981. Now, that's not really doing much to dispell the thoughts of PORN PORN PORN rushing through your head, but alas, you can but trust me. The film's stars range from Janeane Garofalo (Mystery Men, and the new series of 24) to Paul Rudd (comeon, you know what he's been in), from David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) right through to a stellar performance by Molly Shannon (Year of the Dog).

Now how, you might ask, did I manage to come across this gem? I'm not going to lie to you, it wasnt pretty. I found it.......in DVD form.......for 1 whole pound........in......

POUNDLAND!

obviously at the time I had no idea what I'd stumbled onto, but finding a DVD in Poundland which contains actors you've ever heard of is quite a rareity in itself. But not only that, but this was a double sided disc, with another film on the other side (The Independent...not really that great)...bringing the effective total to a meer FIFTIPUNCE. now that my friends, is a bargain.

So hey, if you ever happen to be leisurely strolling past a Poundland (If you're a student like me, in there buying everything you could ever need for £1), who knows, maybe you'll get lucky....or maybe you'll get groped by a homeless man, only time can tell. But go on, do yourself a favour and watch this film :D

And also....what Tubs said. (listen to her, she's wise - and small enough to headbutt you in the nads)
