8 Hot Movies For The Hottest Month of the Year

 Wet Hot American Summer (2001)

Now that the prequel series to this cult comedy is officially available to stream, there’s no better time to see what you’ve been missing out on for the past 14 years. And what exactly it is you’ve been missing is an all-star cast led by Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, and Amy Poehler, among other names, as they navigate the trappings of the final day of summer at Camp Firewood.

It’s a parody by definition, but the humor is more absurd and off-the-wall than a typical spoof. If you’re not in the mood to laugh, you may not even crack a smile. But if the mood is right and you’re ready to go where writers Michael Showalter and David Wain want to take you, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
