Camp Nowhere

Between the constant churn of new releases, Camp Nowhere in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus is the comedy actually worth stopping for.

Watch it for Jonathan Jackson — stay for everyone else around them. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Camp Nowhere keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Camp Nowhere land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Morris "Mud" Himmel has a problem. His parents desperately want to send him away to summer camp. He hates going to summer camp, and would do anything to get out of it. Between them, Jonathan Jackson and Andrew Keegan carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Camp Nowhere came out in 1994. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Camp Nowhere holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Camp Nowhere. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jonathan Jackson anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
