Set on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, a group of counselors try to complete their unfinished business before the day ends.
If you have fond memories of crowding into Saturday afternoon showings of ''Porky's'' or ''Spring Break'' or of regaling the school lunchroom with gags from ''Meatballs'' (still the greatest summer camp comedy of all time, which is not saying all that much), then ''Wet Hot American Summer'' will make you feel . . . 35 years old.
