Gorp is a 1980 American comedy film starring Michael Lembeck and Dennis Quaid, and featuring early acting work of Rosanna Arquette and Fran Drescher in supporting roles.
While one could hardly rank this movie as more than a summer fun movie, it does have a certain appeal to it. It is almost Lord Of The Flies meets Rebel Without A Cause meets Meatballs. The movie is so frenetic, representing adolescence unbound.
- Drive My Car. In Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s quietly ravishing masterwork based on a sliver of a short story by Haruki Murakami, the death of his wife leaves an experimental theater director — played by Hidetoshi Nishijima with a stoicism that conceals complex depths — to process his grief through art with a multilingual staging of Uncle Vanya.
- The Power of the Dog. Jane Campion’s first feature in 12 years is a departure from her forensic studies of the female psyche, delving instead with equal perspicacity into corrosive masculinity and repressed sexuality.
- The Worst Person in the World. A key realization for me while watching Joachim Trier’s gorgeously melancholy account of the chaotic mess we make of our lives as we fumble our way to self-knowledge was how seldom we get a romantic comedy-drama in which the abrasive edges aren’t sanded off the protagonist.
- Parallel Mothers. Pedro Almodóvar is among the most generous of contemporary directors, lovingly contouring roles for an unofficial repertory company of which Penélope Cruz, like Antonio Banderas, is a core member.
A movie that is better if you play it in the background. When you only catch the highlights, it's incredible. When you play close attention, it's a little underwhelming. The 4 stars are for a "Distracted Viewing." ★★★
Gorp: Directed by Joseph Ruben. With Michael Lembeck, Dennis Quaid, Philip Casnoff, Fran Drescher. A slapstick comedy about the wacky antics of a group of waiters at a Jewish summer camp in upstate New York.
