WETTER HOTTER AMERICAN SUMMER?
Beaks here...
Last year, David Wain teased the possibility of a WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER sequel, suggesting that it would be a prequel in which all of the actors return to play their characters as sixteen-year-olds. While I think that's a fantastic idea, it'd be a tough sell to all but the most die-hard fans of the original. I also couldn't help but think that Wain was simply making a joke.
If it is a joke, Michael Showalter is officially in on it. When asked recently about the possibility of a WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER sequel, he responded, "Absolutely yes. One-hundred-percent yes. The whole gang. Everyone's back. We're doing it."
When he says "the whole gang", I assume he's including Bradley Cooper, who's become a huge movie star since getting fucked in the ass by Michael Ian Black. Whether it's a prequel or a RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN sequel, I'm in.

After Law & Order, is the world ready for Chris Moroni acting silly again?

One of my favorite films of all time. I used to judge potential friends by whether or not they liked "Wet Hot American Summer." Shallow, I know, but surprisingly effective.
"I want you inside me!" -
read the talkback for the Episode 1 teaser trailer.

I'd love to see Bill Murray make a cameo at Tripper Harrison.

Watched this a few months ago, after years of friends hyping it to death, and not sure I even cracked a smile throughout. Just. Not. Funny.

He might have an appointment that can't be moved because it already happened.

not crack a smile? The "secret" handshake alone cracks me up everytime.

I would've lost the Garalafo and Hyde Pierce subplot though.

royston lodge - I dunno, Meloni was pretty damn funny in
by openthepodbaydoorshal
Harold & Kumar 1 and 2.

You're not thinking hard enough.
-
LOVED THE 'got it downloaded in only half and hour"..and "The new Neil labute movie comes out this summer" but Mr. brown had it right...wonder where he is i could use some lotto numbers
-
Not hating on the folks who do like this film. But, Lordy, it just did not speak to me. (I thought Meloni was funnier in Fear and Loathing.)
-
For most of movie-going public it's a mediocre movie at best. A 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 6.5 on IMDB.
It just that those who like it - like me - LOVE it, like most cult classics. -
A douchebag is a female hygienic product, I take that as a compliment!
-
if it hadn't gone off the rails with the ridiculous shit. I'm not even talking about the talking mixed veggies, because that could be interpreted as all in Meloni's character's head. It just tried too hard to be offbeat, when it should have been grounded in a bit more reality.
-
Just sayin'.
-
watch it again, this time with your head out of your ass.
-
Love that movie. My memory is a little fuzzz as I haven't seen it in awhile. But what I do remember is lmfao. They need to bring back Paul rudd for this one as well.

The salaries budget for a sequel would be enormous today.
by royston lodge
Paul Rudd. Elizabeth Banks. Bradley Cooper. Amy Poehler. Chris Meloni.
These people don't generally work for scale. -
Hilarious movie.
I would definitely be interested in a prequel or sequel. I was a bit disappointed that Wain sold out a bit with Role Models. I’m wondering if his new movie Wanderlust will be in the same vein. He also made The Ten fairly recently though, so it seems like he still has an interest in more outlandish State-style comedy. Also his web series is really funny. -
The lunch hour skit is awesome though. I'm down for a sequel that, if anything, is more silly and surreal.
-
lol my personal fav was "go for the BIG one! ...the 320x240 quicktime trailer!"

They should do a sequel where they all meet 10 years later like they talk about in the movie
by mrekoletmelive
And then Michael Ian Black should leave because he has something at 11:00.
-
Mr. Brown nailed it. Quite level-headed in the face of such hysteria.
Probably Peter Jackson. -

I seen this on Netflix a while ago and it was hit and miss for me.
by tikidonkeypunch
The butt sex scene made me uncomfortable and some jokes just fell flat. Obviously some jokes were stolen over the years (heroin scene ripped off by Observe and Report) but still maintained their flair. All in all I'd be curious to see a sequel just to see if they can reunite the whole cast again, and if they will still take it to the limit.
-
Wow. That is beyond incredible. The funniest thing about it is that some people were actually seeing in the trailer pieces of what was about to go so wrong. However, there was an overwhelming sense of "George won't fail us....Just trust George.....don't worry, George is going to knock it out of the park."
Now, go and read an AICN talkback today. Even a talkback about something that is universally loved is filled with hate and venom.
I forgot how AICN used to be, and is seems the change, at least looking back on it now, erupted from the massive failure and letdown that was The Phantom Menace.
I'm tempted to go back and read the talkback again, it's just so unbelievable. There was a community belief and true hope for that movie, and even the trolls were upbeat. -
If you remember right, the trailer kicked all form of ass. It's still, all these years later, one of the best trailers of all time.
It's a little hard watching it now, because now you see alll the images and they stir up anger all over again. Yet, you CAN still watch the trailer and feel the excitement that we all felt watching it before we saw the movie. The trailer was really good. -

Anything that gets State members back together is a good thing
by lao_che_air_freight
That bunch easily rank up there with Kids in the Hall, Mr. Show, Fry and Laurie, and Whitest Kids as the best sketch comedy since the Python days, in this author's humble opinion.
-
This place has changed. Sometime around Attack of the Clones and Matrix:Reloaded the tbs became really negative, I think that's when people started to realize negative comments get you more attention.
-
Well, I think alot of it may due to just our demographic that grew up with the original trilogy just getting older. I mean, the truth is a damn bitter pill to swallow, but the older we get it seems that the more we try and look at the past through rose colored lenses. I never participated in the old talkbacks, I was more of a troll anyhow. But looking at them there does seem to be a more sense of optimism out there. Now it seems as if everything gets hated on. Even movies like Prometheus which hasn't come out yet. I mean, I just celebrated my 34th birthday a couple of days ago. Four more years and it will be 20 years since I graduated high schoo. 20 years........................Hell it's been 20 years now since Sam Kinison died and I still haven't gotten over that one.
-
Didn't they just make love? Is it really necessary to word it like "getting fucked in the ass"?
-
... AICN has become fucking embarrassing again.

@scottpilgrimfan: You can sugarcoat it any way you like
by gary_buseys_upper_half
Getting fucked in the ass is getting fucked in the ass. To make love you have to be able to look into each other's eyes.

Nozoki, I can't tell whether you're trying to be funny or not...
by potsmokinalien
But you're succeeding! Seriously though: you've heard of comedy, right? It is a thing where exaggeration or absurdity makes us laugh sometimes. Also it can involve wordplay, falling down/getting punched, etc. It's a good genre, sorry Wet Hot American Summer wasn't the best intro to its general tenets. Be sure to check out the classics sometime.
-
i whispered that into christopher meloni's ear as he pushed passed me at a tool show a couple years ago...one of the greatest moments of my life! lol
-
Sequel to that LEVITT/DESCANEL movie.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a prequel as long as there's more of a plot to the movie. It needs nudity though. And the question will be, will Bradley Cooper be back?
-
Like the State TV show, if you greatly lower your expectations it has its moments.
The State had the same hit/miss ratio as SNL, but each SNL is written and performed in one week.
Now Reno 911 - That's Funny. -
Like the one where they went into town and by the end were junkies, I would enjoy it more.
-
I have seen all the classics, and that's why WHAS failed on some level for me. It started off really strong, but after the "going in to town" scene it went off track. It was too looney. All the classics have some wackiness, but they don't overstep. And I don't hate the movie. I enjoy watching it because the moments that hit, hit strong. The soup can bit is hilarious, and Meloni's speech would have been a lot stronger if it didn't end with him actually humping a fridge. At least not with the whole camp cheering him on.
-
heroin scene ripped off by Observe and Report.
-
So if any movie has a scene where the main characters use heroin it's automatically of a rip-off of Wet Hot American Summer?
Okay, then. *rolls eyes* -
if everyone's back including him this will be perfect.
anything with michael showalter has me though. yes it's true. -
I recall that I laughed and enjoyed it at the time. I forgot that it was Bradley Cooper getting fucked in the ass by Michael Ian Black, that's how long it's been since I've seen this. I remember Chris Meloni being funny and the David Hyde Pierce and Janeane Garafolo stuff being almost obligatory and kind of lame. Isn't Michael Showalter doing car commercials now? Might be time to check the movie out again.
-
I remember the first time I saw it. At first I was like what the heck is this thing, but as I watched it was freaking hilarious
-
Feb 10, 2012 12:13:47 PM CST
With all the People that were in it I seriously doubt a sequel
by wcwlkr
While it did have some people who you'd say what are they doing now? Like Jeanine Garaffalo and Chris Meloni, I doubt you could get everyone back.

Dick Cream!

Pretty awesome parody of hundreds of things. It was overly dorky in a few places, but overall pretty fantastic
