"Murray is funny, as always." Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
"...one of Murray's finest. His creativity really shines here." Almost Fabulous Movie Reviews
"I wish my summer camp counselors had been as cool, fun, or exciting as Tripper Harrison." Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
"It's a classic..." Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
"Murray in fine form..." Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Editor's Note
Bill Murray stars as Tripper, the nutty leader (and trainer) of a motley crew of camp counselors. But Tripper proves to be more than just a wild and wacky leader, as he takes a special interest in Rudy, an insecure camper. Thought for the day: "It Just Doesn't Matter!" Directed by Ivan Reitman, who went on to helm such hits as TWINS and GHOSTBUSTERS.

Review
Mutant Reviewers From Hell 9 of 10
Meatballs was the breakout smash for Murray, who played lead counselor Tripper. Tripper is the voice of leadership and temporary insanity that sets the standard for an offbeat summer camp. He rips up the camp rules, broadcasts crazy PSAs over the loudspeakers, and chases the female counselors with reckless abandon. In what would become typical Murray fashion, Tripper utters outrageous one-liners with deadpan certainty. I am sure that Meatballs sans Murray would have ended up another boring "nutty people do nutty things" film, but not only does Murray make this an exceptionally funny flick...It's not pure laughs. There are scenes where you will say, "What were people in the seventies thinking?" Murray doesn't have enough bad guys to properly display his sarcastic wit. But Meatballs ends up being a funny romp through the trials and tribulations of summer camp anyhow, and I can't bash it for trying.
