Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

liamforeman Alright, I was kind of freaked out in Sleepaway Camp One.SC2 is just hilarious. Our dear Angela has returned to camp after a couple years of mental hospital living, sexual reassignment, and a cheerful disposition. She really wanted to be a good camp counselor.Well, maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all. Once she gets annoyed with the campers, it's just all over. The slightest offense would annoy her principled belief system and offend her moral code and she'd just have to do something to rectify the situation.This movie is all very tongue in cheek humor. It's not scary at all. Pamela Springsteen is awesome and plays the character with a subtle belief system, and she doesn't act psycho in the least. She just got in a bad mood, and heaven help a camper who smokes dope or has sex, or even just wants to go home. Angela just took her job very seriously is all, lol.Some of the deaths are hilarious and the dialogue is even better. These actors obviously were not trained at RADA and that made it even better.I would recommend seeing SC1 first so you'd understand the set up to SC2. But SC2 was pure comedy/horror with a decidedly different tone.10 out of 10 for me. It's not a great film per se, I mean it's not trying to be Citizen Kane or GWTW, but for what it is it's great. Highly recommended.

Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! After hearing about this film for years I thought it was going to be complete and total crap. I mean I thought the idea of turning a shocker/slasher/horror movie into a thriller/cheesy/comedy would be a terrible idea. Like seriously who wants to see their favorite scary movie turned into a comedy? Sometimes it works like Scary movie and Evil Dead but sometimes it is questionable if it'll could be considered good like Haunted House. This sequel though is fun from beginning to end I mean seeing how phony the kills are and how it uses the referencing humor of Jason and Freddy from two of the most iconic slasher movie series ever known. This sequel helps give Angela more of a personality to become more lovable as in the original she was just the shy kid nobody cared about. This film has such an 80's feel to it that you realize it's all about having fun. I give it a 7 out of 10.

kylehaines96 Since I just got done reviewing Sleepaway Camp, I figured it was appropriate to take a look at the sequels starting with the 1988 film Sleepaway Camp II Unhappy Campers, a film that manages to be even worse than its' predecessor. That is quite an accomplishment.First Off, I don't Understand why we need a sequel to a film that ended conclusively. But the word money brings a couple of reasons why. The film does follow Angela again except this time she is played by Bruce Springsteen's Sister Pamela Springsteen, and she makes the character even worse. Remember when I complained that Angela barley spoke in the first film, well that's all changed because now SHE WON'T SHUT UP! This time she travels to a new camp to wreak havoc on more teens.They explain that after some extensive therapy and a sex-change Angela is now okay to be a camp counselor at Camp Rolling Hills. And this brings me to my next problem: If you knew this character was mentally unstable to begin with, being that she killed kids at a camp years before, then why would you hire her as a camp counselor? I think that the camp directors were smoking a little something to let her back in.They tried making the film a comedy now, but I did not laugh at a single joke in here. Also the film not only rips-off Friday The 13th but references The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and A Nightmare On Elm Street. Thanks, Three good movies ruined in your crappy movie.Finally the movie wraps up with, Guess what, Angela being the killer. Oh My God That is the biggest twist ending since Darth Vader was Luke Skywalkers Father(Notice the sarcasm).The Final Verdict For the film Sleepaway Camp II Unhappy Campers is a BOMB/ 0 stars out of 4, and earns my seal of disapproval meaning this is a film to stay away from. The film is held back by bad acting, Slow and Boring pace and terrible, Terrible jokes. The worst part is I have 3 more of these to watch. Goody.Rated R For Horror Violence And Gore, Sexual Content, Nudity And Language.1hr 20min/80min.10 uses of the F-word.BOMB/****

happyendingrocks Angela, our murderer/murderess from the original Sleepaway Camp, returns for more merry mayhem in this unabashedly goofy follow-up that eschews the grittier edges and sleazy plot points of its quirky cult classic predecessor in favor of a straight series of splat-stick gore gags, and the result is a slasher movie that openly lampoons its own genre and practically dares you to keep a straight face while you're watching it.No real plot summary necessary here. Basically, Angela is all grown up for this outing and has returned to her familiar stomping grounds as a relentlessly perky camp counselor, and that's all you really need to know... Well, that, and the fact that she kills a crapload of people.The film as a whole is little more that a succession of vignettes of teenage campground shenanigans, gratuitous nudity, and frequent displays of bloodshed. If this sounds like I'm slighting Unhappy Campers, don't misunderstand me. This is a film that clearly knows its audience and doesn't waste any time on suspense or character development, and once you see how quickly the film settles into its blood and boobs routine, even the most kill-happy Friday The 13th sequels look like meticulously measured Alfred Hitchcock thrillers by comparison.Every aspect of the production is cheesy and inept, from the low-grade film stock to the discount rack splatter effects, but since there's never a moment when we think Sleepaway Camp II has any pretensions of taking itself seriously, all of this works immeasurably to the movie's benefit. If you're looking for an exercise in pure, visceral horror, this is most assuredly not intended for you. However, if you just want to have a hell of a good time watching naughty teens get butchered for their transgressions by a cloyingly cheerful psychopath who looks like she would have been right at home in the cast of "Saved By The Bell"... Well, then, you'll probably decide 20 minutes into Unhappy Campers, at which point you will have already seen four people get slaughtered, that you're dealing with a masterpiece of its kind.Much of the dialogue here is especially priceless, and while it's hard to choose a favorite passage, I'm partial to the post-coitus exchange between the token tramp Ally and one of her conquests. (Ally: "Thanks, that was fun. Say, you don't have AIDS or anything do you?" Guy: "No!" Ally: "Great, see ya.") The spirit of parody runs rampant throughout the film, but the surreal apex of this arrives when Angela slices up a boy who's dressed like Freddy Krueger with his own razor glove and uses a chainsaw to off another kid who's wearing an imitation Jason mask, all while she is, herself, decked out in a Leatherface costume. The finale, where Angela is confronted about her murderous past and insists "I'm cured" while surrounded by the dozen or so corpses she's racked up at that point, likewise references numerous other classic slasher films that have included equivalent shrine-like tableaux of victims.The film's murders are impressive in terms of sheer numbers, but if there's one legitimate complaint that can be levied here, it's that most of the kills are pretty by the numbers if you've seen a handful of similar splatter outings before this one. However, this abundance of rote slashings and bludgeonings is reconciled by the most memorable scene in the movie, in which one unlucky lass is forced head first into the pungent reservoir of a port-a-potty and drowned in a pool of leech-infested human waste. That segment pretty much sums up the mindset of the entire film, so your enjoyment of Unhappy Campers will probably depend on how eager you are to see a sequence like that etched into the annals of cinematic history.A movie like this is clearly its own animal, so comparing it to any of the more serious-minded slasher fare that preceded it is rather pointless. If you require scares, tension, or even general coherence to sate your horror appetite, you can skip this offering and move right along. However, if you find yourself in the mood for a mirthful celebration of the basest elements the genre has to offer, spending 70 minutes with Sleepaway Camp II will definitely make you a...Nah, too obvious.
