Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters. When their rival camp -- led by Mara and Nomi's nemesis Daniel -- issues a high stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara's trust. Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive. Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

The movie wants to be simultaneously daring and safe, and it just comes across as confused.

Bright and goofy, this Jewish summer camp comedy is populated by a large number of lively characters, each with their own issues.

An amusing, but unimaginative and only intermittently funny comedy.

Though it aspires to the same zany, coming-of-age-at-summer-camp spirit as Meatballs, The Floaters has too many themes to contend with and just can’t seem to decide what the main narrative should be.

3/5

It doesn’t matter the specialty or type of camp, assembling a hodgepodge group of characters is a foolproof and fast way of multiplying the classic coming-of-age arc we know and love.

hat’s what we need out of these summer camp films is a clear arc from zero to hero. The Floaters at least delivers that amongst everything else that’s crammed into the film.
