Fans of the original are likely to enjoy this follow-up, which improves in succeeding episodes after the somewhat lackluster first entry.

Fear not, Wet Hot fans: First Day of Camp is fantastic.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a rarity: a sitcom that is funnier than the movie that inspired it.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp gets a lot of mileage out of funny names, ridiculous pop culture references and wildly inconsistent accents.

Good things can sometimes come out of that sort of chaos, but that chaos could use some boundaries.

The 8-episode series mostly succeeds by sheer force of will. The viewers are so bombarded by jokes that something is bound to tickle you eventually-though truth be told it may take awhile.

Too often "jokes" were laboured in this vein, while a conveyor belt of fine actors, from Jason Schwartzman to Janeane Garofalo, were left with little space to act.

Clearly, Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp still has the gloriously raunchy, proudly stupid comic tone that made the movie a cult hit.

A majority of the storytelling gags rise above the purely juvenile, although sometimes just barely.

Beyond the inside jokes, WHAS:FDoC succeeds because it doubles up on the nothing-is-sacred promise of the film, and proceeds to absorb every beat, cliché, or overused trope ever put to film in its [Andy voice:] "whatever, man" orbit.
