Pitching Tents

This movie may not be destined to win awards and that's okay. I really enjoyed it. It is well-plotted and fairly well-cast. I think also to some degree it is the life story for many of us. It helps to love Big Country!

Average watch, might watch again, and can't recommend. This really should have been a great coming of age story similar to "American Pie", but it's mostly empty. While there is great character connection amongst the cast, and the story is actually a great concept of a guy torn between worlds, but I honestly don't feel like it has a point other than proposing philosophical quandry. Yes, there is some humor and decent production value, as well as plenty of multi-threading, however, I just didn't enjoy the movie much. Hopefully someone else does enjoy this.

I love the hometown feel Pitching Tents displays - brings me back to my crazy teenage years! I love the high school counselor and how his character added funny aspects! The writers and producers were able to capture the events of high school students during that time and turned it into a dramatic love story that connected a boy to his love of art to his love of his family. Definitely recommend.

I loved this movie. I would highly reccomend watching this. Ignore the majority of these comments, as this movie is by far the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Watch. It.

This is a great throwback to 80s movies, with some fantastic characters. The school counsellor is hilarious delivering excellent one-liners. The quality of this film is far beyond what one should expect from something of such a limited budget. The writing is quirky and intelligent, reflecting very well Pennsylvania during that time period. Definitely a film I'd recommend for a fun night in, especially if you're lucky enough to have been an 80s teenager.

For me, this movie had it all. Love it when the laughs are real and not forced. Dug the way the friends were cool to each other but also teased and joked around with each other. Seemed natural. Totally could relate with the kid and his family and pressure of not knowing what to do after high school. The guy who played the stoner was a riot! Jim Norton as the counselor was a bit much, but I gotta say, I laughed every time he was on screen. And whoa... the lead actress was smoking! Can't wait to see more of her! Recommended to a few buddies and they've all liked it. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

If you're looking for a great 80's throwback this it! It reminded me a lot of SIXTEEN CANDLES and ONE CRAZY SUMMER. I highly recommend watching this movie if you grew up in the 80's, are a teen, or just want a good laugh while with friends. Great coming of age comedy all around, highly recommend!
