Dang, '79 was a great year for movies (and music). This was an awesome and cute movie. There was really NO NEED to make all those sequels to this, though!
Does anyone know of the slower version of the "Meatballs" song's whereabouts? It's the one that plays in this trailer but the faster-paced version plays in the movie.
@RubberWilbur Filmed at a summer camp I went to for 13 years. Camp White Pine. I believe a lot of the extras were just what you said - wealthier Canadian kids.
Have you noticed that the people in this movie are not as attractive as most other movies? I'm sure it has to do with it being a Canadian production and not LA. This is fine because people look more like this, normal, than some kind of glamor show.
L@s reavers-mami dice "la mejor forma de ayudar a alguien es acosarle moralmente". Ahora cuando el pimpollo le diga a sus hijas que tienen cuerpo de tío tienen que reírle la gracia y poner a sus hijas a dieta y mandarlas a corporación dermoestética para ponerlas guapas como la tita-abandona-bebés.
Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the good times? Are you ready for the birds and the bees, the apple trees...and a whole lot of fooling around? ;). Meatballs!!!
I don't like it that iTunes does not have this movie on there movie collection. And it makes no sense on the fact that they have the second movie of it but not the first.
I love Bill Murray impersonating "Jerry Eldini" as the snob camp's director to the TV newsman. He's so smooth & spontaneous. And then Spaz & Larry under the girl's cabin is good, too. But many great scenes in this.
I first saw this movie at summer camp back in 1987 I think... I have watched it every single summer since, out of tradition... so roughly 20-25 times. Love it. My dad and I even try to do the "oh really" burp phrase whenever we get together at the cottage, to this day - and now he's in his 60's and I'm 34. Great memories. It just doesn't matter.
Summer 1979 my parents and I were renting a track home about a block or two from a drive-in and each night at sundown we watched a movie. That summer they played meatballs for six weeks straight. When it finally played on tv the next year I could recite the entire lines of the movie.
I found this movie on an old VHS tape not long ago. I hadn't seen it in 20 years. I popped in in the VCR to see if it still played, and my kids sat down to watch. They ended up laughing their butts off. Now they want to watch it every day.
I agree! I just got this on DVD and the extras are great! I've seen it literally dozens of times and could watch it over and over again because it just doesn't matter! IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!!!
it just doesn't matter....meatballs rocks!!!!
