Run time: 96 min. | Canada
With marvelous narration by Hollywood heavyweight John Cusack, Summerhood chronicles a pivotal summer in the life of a 10-year-old nicknamed Fetus who falls head over heels for the camp’s local preteen beauty. Fetus and his posse have earned their title as the summer resort’s tricksters and outcasts, as they dedicate their time and energy to sinking paddleboats and meddling with the camp public address system. Blisteringly funny and beautifully written, Summerhood joins Meatballs and Bless the Beasts and the Children in the elite cadre of the best summer camp movies of all time.

I enjoyed every minute; you took me right back. there and I laughed a lot. Just wonderful in all respects...remember to ask to kiss the girl before you try to kiss her.

San Diego... are you kidding me? 

what to say?

Thank you. 

We will take your beautiful glass prize and break it into 88 jagged shards so that every child who worked on the film can have a piece. 

It's the fairest thing we can think of. 

..and kids love sharp shiny presents.

regards,

Careless.
