Acerca de esta película

A stylistic throwback to the summer camp films of the 80’s and 90’s, Camp Manna is the story of a Christian camp turned upside-down by the arrival of the wayward “new kid”, Ian Fletcher. After a tragic accident, Ian Fletcher, a 15-year old Floridian, moves far north to live with his aunt and uncle. Shortly after his arrival, Ian is shipped off to Camp Manna, a backwoods Evangelical Christian camp soaked in baffling religious sub-culture. Camp Manna is centered around the God Games, a Biblically-themed Olympiad focused on turning boys into “men of faith”. But as a “nonbeliever”, this is the last place in the world that Ian wants to spend a week. He is bunked up with the Passover Privates, the cabin of outcasts and misfits, and their zealous, un-cool counselor Bradley Sommers. But when Ian is introduced to Clayton Vance, the savvy and chiseled counselor of the Righteous Regiment, he has one focus: Ditch Bradley and join up with Clayton. But as the God Games approach, Ian realizes that Clayton may not be as “cool” as he claims to be and his choice to ditch the Passover Privates and join the Righteous Regiment may end up being the worst decision of his life… Camp Manna blends hilarious comedy with loving nostalgia. This “satire with soul” reminds us all that sometimes getting to the heart of something is best told with laughter.

You know how some movies feel like they take an eternity to watch? This is the inverse of that, once I started it, I couldn't believe it was over so soon. Evan Koons gives a break out performance as the dorky camp counselor Bradley...Oscar nomination for sure!!!! The whole cast did an acceptable job and it was surprising to see that they were able to get Gary Busey too. And all the different God Games were quite the spectacle too. Worth it to see the variety...one wouldn't think you'd be able to make a week's worth of games based off Bible stories. Definitely worth your time and money. Have faith.

Camp Manna has to be the best Christian movie, seriously. So funny with so many little jokes but still has a great message without being forced. It was so refreshing to see a Christian movie be able to poke fun at the some of the ridiculousness found inside Christianity, while pointing in the direction of what followers of Jesus should be about. This absolutely is a must watch if you have been "in the church" for a while or ever been to a Christian youth camp!

Pretty funny and I only heard one actual swear word. Not bad for a family film.
