In any list that revolves around a “Clerks” movie, a View Askewniverse movie, or even any Kevin Smith film in general, the phrases “cult classic” and “sleeper hit” are going to come up again and again. Of all the movies on this list to which those terms could apply, no movie embodies them more than “Wet Hot American Summer,” the 2001 all-star, camp (in both senses of the word) comedy that was released to an astounding amount of critical derision but made millions of fans fall in love.
The movie follows the counselors and other staff of a New England summer camp on their last few days of the season, most of whom spend their precious remaining hours trying to sleep with whoever will have them. The movie is silly, exaggerated, and thoroughly tongue-in-cheek, and if you’re on board with that — which we hope you are, Smith fans — then “Wet Hot American Summer” is perfect for you. If you’re not sold from that description, then a sampling of the movie’s cast should win you over.
Among others, it features Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, both Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black, Janeane Garofalo, Elizabeth Banks, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Meloni, Joe Lo Truglio, and Judah Friedlander — and in case you’re wondering, that impressive cast isn’t wasted, a la the “worst film of all time,” “Movie 43.”
