Bill Murray is at his hilarious best in this classic comedy that’s “Animal House goes to summer camp” (Newsweek). Murray plays Tripper, the wisecracking, rule-bending head counselor at Camp North Star. Whether playing pranks on Camp North Star’s clueless director, wooing a female counselor, or scheming against the rich brats of a rival camp, Tripper delivers fun and mayhem in a laugh-filled summer his campers will remember forever!

Meatballs Film Synopsis

Tripper is the head counselor at a budget summer camp called Camp Northstar. In truth, he's young at heart and only marginally more mature than the campers themselves. Tripper befriends Rudy, a loner camper who has trouble fitting in. As Tripper inspires his young charges to defeat rival Camp Mohawk in the annual Olympiad competition, Rudy plays matchmaker between Tripper and Roxanne, a female counselor at Northstar.

One of the Top Ten Comedies EverMeatballs is a great movie. This is Bill Murray's first movie, and he doesn't disappoint. He plays the insane, wacky counselor Tripper who helps one of the kids fit in through wacky antics. The other counselors at camp are perfect for Tripper because the chemistry between all of them really shows and it's heartwarming and hilarious. I love the insanity Bill Murray brings to Tripper. He has a bunch of memorable quotes and tons of hilarious scenes. He has this looniness he uses for Tripper and its great. I myself would love to be like Tripper because he's awesome. This is a very underrated film, and I don't know why. Bill Murray is great in this film with a great and funny supporting cast. Plus this film gives you great ideas for summer. every time I see it, I say, "Man, I would love to do that this summer" And it's great because it's realistically possible. All in all, this film is great. This is definitely one of the best comedies of all time!.Score: 5/5

Boring and not funnyIf you’re looking for a funny raunchy camp movie, then skip this movie. The old camp movies were funny and raunchy. This was a rated G movie with no plot. I regret buying this movie and wasting my time watching it..Score: 1/5

UghIs this really what launched a career? Horrible by modern standards of acting, comedy and character development.Score: 1/5

IT JUST DOESN'T MATTERAn absolute fun fest. One of Bill Murray's most underrated movies. It is a complete shock to me how little people know of its existence. This is a very funny movie. Afterall it stars Bill Murray, and was co-written by Harold Ramis..Score: 5/5

Deutsch
Bill Murray spielt Tripper Harrison, den lebenslustigen Chefbetreuer in Camp North Star. Er und seine Betreuercrew sind regelrecht versessen darauf, alle Regeln zu brechen und sorgen so für reichlich Wirbel. Das Chaos in diesem wilden, zwerchfellerschütternden Comedy-Klassiker geht aber erst richtig los, als sie beschließen, bei der Camp-Olympiade “nach Gold zu greifen” und so den unvergesslichsten Sommer überhaupt zu erleben.

Italiano
Il film narra le vicende del Campo "Stella del Nord" e dei suoi animatori guidati da Tripper Harrison (Bill Murray) alle prese con mille scherzi ai danni del direttore del campo Morty Melnick (Harvey Atkin), dei ragazzi ospitati dal campo e dei giochi olimpici organizzati con gli avversari del campo Mohawk.

Français
Au camp lacustre de North Star, l'été ramène 600 garnements et une bande de moniteurs décontractés, prêts à commettre toutes les bêtises qui se présentent à leur imagination fertile. Leur victime de prédilection, le directeur du camp, Morty, un fat sans jugement, se révèle bien incapable d'imposer un semblant de discipline. Seul Rudy, un adolescent complexé, est malheureux dans cette ambiance potache. En effet, ses camarades ne cessent de se moquer de lui depuis qu'il leur a fait perdre un match de football. Tripper, le plus déchaîné des moniteurs, prend Rudy sous sa protection et, tandis que lui-même conquiert l'amour, il lui apporte la gloire et l'estime de soi...

Português
Um instrutor de uma colônia de férias (Bill Murray), conhecido por seus métodos excêntricos de treinamento dos jovens participantes, se esforça em dar autoconfiança a um menino de 12 anos, Rudy, que só pensa na sua fuga.

Español
Tripper, su novia Roxanna, y su amigo Mickey, son los responsables del campamento de verano Northstar, que acaba de abrir sus puertas. El trío se encarga de entrenar a los monitores. Cuando llegan los adolescentes que pasarán allí las vacaciones, Rudy, un chico de 11 años, se siente marginado por sus compañeros. Decide escaparse, y Tripper debe salir en su busca. Disparatada comedia de desmesurado éxito en su momento. A pesar de su baja calidad artística, contiene algún momento divertido, gracias al talento para la comedia de Bill Murray. Abrió el camino a posteriores películas gamberras destinadas al público adolescente. Tuvo tres secuelas de inferior calidad si cabe.

Dansk
Der er dømt vanvittig sommerlejr, når komikergeniet Bill Murray (Lost In Translation) spiller hovedrollen som Tripper Harrison, spasmager og lejrchef i sommerlejren North Star. Der er masser af sjov og ballade i vente, mens han sammen med lejrens øvrige ledere gør, hvad han kan for at bryde enhver regel. Det hele kulminerer i en olympisk turnering mod en anden sommerlejr, hvor alle kæmper om guldet.

Magyar
A nyári táborozás minden gyereknek nagy élmény, de akadnak, akiknek még annál is nagyobb. A Sarkcsillag tábor felejthetetlen nyarat biztosít, mert őrültebbnél őrültebb vezetők és gyerekek érkeznek a közös táborozásra. Hogy ki bírja a végéig, hol szövődnek romantikus szálak, és ki nyeri a kosárlabda-olimpiádot, azt még az elején senki sem sejti.

Pусский
Популярная комедия о молодежном летнем лагере. Старший вожатый — веселый парень.

Дружба с вожатым помогает Руди поверить в свои силы, одержать победу в забеге и стать героем лагеря.

עִבְרִית
סרטו הראשון של ביל מארי (אבודים בטוקיו), שהוא גם שיתוף פעולה ראשון עם הבמאי איוואן רייטמן שלאחר מכן לקח את מארי אתו לבלוק-באסטר ההיסטרי, "מכסחי השדים". מארי מגלם מדריך אנרגטי במחנה קיץ שעושה צחוקים עם החניכים, מפלרטט עם המדריכות האחרות, וזומם להנחית מכה על מחנה הקיץ המקביל בו שוהים בני תפנוקים עשירים. קומדיה מהירה וכתובה היטב, שזכתה בשני פרסי ג'יני הקנדיים.

svenska
Tripper är en småtokig, men godhjärtad chef för ett sommarläger för barn. Han försöker hjälpa alla barn speciellt Rudy som har problem med sitt självförtroende.

Polski
Letni obóz, na którym obozowy doradca ze stukniętym poczuciem humoru stara się by obozowiczowie dobrze się bawili. Jeden z nich o imieniu Rudy stanowi szczególne wyzwanie ponieważ ma problemy z poczuciem własnej godności.

Türkçe

Една от най-популярните комедии в края на 70-те, във филма се разказва за един детско-юношески летен лагер. Отговорникът на лагера Трипър (Бил Мъри), е веселяк, който постоянно гледа да разсмива и да забавлява всички. Той се запознава с 12 годишният Руди, депресирано хлапе, което не се радва на голяма популярност. Трипър помага на Руди да възвърне увереността си и да стане герой на лагера. Весели моменти, забавни изпълнения, какво повече му трябва на човек в един летен лагер, може би малко любов?

Heavy Metal summary, synopsis, reviews
Heavy MetalMusicals1981

Based on the fantastical illustrated magazine Heavy Metal, producer Ivan Reitman enlists the help of some of Hollywood's animation masters to create the otherworldly tale of a glowing green orb from outer space that spreads destruction throughout the galaxy. Only when encountered by its one true enemy, to whom it is inexplicably drawn, will goodness prevail throughout the universe. Richly and lavishly drawn, the vignettes of the orb's dark victories include the character voices of John Candy, Harold Ramis and a pounding soundtrack by Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fagen, Don Felder, Grand Funk Railroad, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Nazareth, Stevie Nicks, Riggs, and Trust. Highly imaginative and full of surprising special effects, Heavy Metal set the standard for alternative contemporary animation. An intoxicating experience not to be missed!
