Great Movie
Added 11/4/2009
I bought this movie for my son. I loved this movie as a kid so I knew he would love it. I was right. It kept his attention all the way through. I would suggest this movie for anyone who loves space.

I loved Space Camp the movie when it first came out. It was mainly filmed in my home town of Huntsville, AL about the same time that I went to Space Camp. At the time, a lot of the stuff you see in the movie really happened at camp (leaving out the poet license and plot devices of course!). What I didn't remember is ALL THE LANGUAGE that's in this movie! My oldest son went to Space Camp for the 1st time this summer (which is even more incredible now than it was then & I worked there in college too). I got the movie (faster than Amazon estimated) after he came back. He invited his best friend to come over and together with the rest of my kids watched this movie. My eyes were about to pop out of my head at all the foul language! Still like the movie but as a parent, really hate the language and would never have bought it for him had a known! I'd prefer to give it 2.5 stars but will round up for nostalgia's sake).

I've always had a soft spot for this 80's family movie. It's perhaps even more enjoyable today, simply to see the younger Kelly Preston, Joaquin Phoenix and Lea Thompson playing hapless spacecamp kids trying to find their way home after a routine excursion accidentally catapults them into orbit!
In SPACECAMP, Kate Capshaw stars as Andie, still nursing a bruised ego in her failure to land a spot in the space programme, and less than thrilled about spending her summer "babysitting" at SpaceCamp. When Andie and her motley gang of students (Tate Donovan, Kelly Preston, Joaquin 'Leaf' Phoenix, Lea Thompson and Larry B. Scott) are forced to actually launch the spaceship in which they are touring because of an overheat malfunction, they band together in their quest to return home.
It's a really fun movie. Wish there was some kind of reunion audio commentary included (like on "The Goonies" DVD), but I doubt this film has enjoyed the same kind of combined popular and cult following.

This is a great movie for the whole family. It has comedy, drama, adventure, and a great blend of science fiction and science reality.
