Gorp

About This Movie

Gorp is this quirky comedy from 1980 that dives into the chaotic world of summer camps, particularly the posh kind for well-off kids. Directed by Joseph Ruben, it has this playful, almost juvenile tone, filled with pranks and hijinks that feel both nostalgic and a bit absurd. The pacing is a bit loose, giving it that carefree summer vibe, like you might just be hanging out with these pranksters. The performances, especially from the younger cast, are lively, and there's an undeniable charm in the practical effects used for some of the camp shenanigans. It captures that wild spirit of youth in a way that's both ridiculous and oddly relatable, making it stand out from other camp comedies of the era.
