Per Wikipedia:

"Set in a Jewish summer camp, Gorp features the kind of physical, sexual, and scatological comedy prevalent in films of this genre, while playing for comedic effect on the class distinctions between the camp's management, the camp counselors, the waiters, and the kitchen staff. "

One thing you can say about this movie was it had insane energy - it seemed like the cast were told to just go nuts. We had to pause so many times to keep track of the insane shit that was going on in the background.

Despite everything, this movie got some laughs out of my husband and I.

This film was... not great. Some of the slapstick humour was fun, but the jokes about assault and rape were terrible, even for a film of its time.

It was very interesting, however, to see Fran Drescher in one of her early film roles. Other notable cast included Dennis Quaid and Rosanna Arquette.

As I was writing this I was sad to find that actor Peter Tuiasosopo, who played Edmond Honda in this film, had only just recently passed away.

I will admit I was not super aware of the source material going in to the movie... I was more of a Mortal Kombat on the SNES kind of kid.

As an aside, watching fellow Aussie Kylie Minogue was pretty amusing, her accent definitely clashing with her fellow cast-mates.

What I hate is, what's the harm in improving the environment and making the world a better place? Even if global warming were fake (to be clear, it's not fake), surely making the world a better place and polluting less is still the better move?

... oh right, capitalism and ideology...
