I saw this movie and actually though it was pretty good. If you compare it to the other Meatballs movies. The writers seem to went back to what the original Meatballs movie had. Simple fun for adults...not kiddie camp stuff like 2 had. No Aliens, no dead sex star ghosts. Back to the original theme of male chauvinistic rivalry and competition between camps. But as Grum-3 says..yes the best thing about is Corey Feldman...but is obvious the script dialog was pretty poor but it still had me laughing and enjoying the fun of it. It wasn't ever meant to be a blockbuster, just simple fun.
If you are at the video store or see this starting on cable, do you really expect that it will have any close proximity to the original? Come on now. After the original, the others basically were awful. So, the only real reason to watch this is to see various anatomically gifted or silicon-padded beautiful women frolick around topless. With those expectations in mind, guys, you won't be disappointed, especially with Playmate Christy Thom allowing you to peek at her assets. What a tease.....
Jack Nance (ERASERHEAD) learned of his wife's suicide during the filming of this movie. This personal tragedy influenced his performance, which -- although oddly situated in this teenage titter-tease -- was both memorable and powerful; Nance's scenes are a must-see for his many fans.
Details of this history are presented in the Jack Nance documentary, YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, which also contains a clip of his performance in MEATBALLS 4.
I suppose there are other reasons to watch this movie -- at least two them for every second unit teen in a wet t-shirt -- but otherwise significant only for Nance...

How's that for an endorsement? This movie is just bad..Corey Feldman stars and tries to save a water ski camp (huh?) from being taken over by the evil competitor..the usual hi jinks ensue with the usual T & A not that T & A is bad ...there are some former playmates here but it is definitely not worth this drivel..on a scale of one to ten..0
Jack Nance being himself(also this movie is a big point in his career as his wife ended her life during filming, absolute shame), T&A, and Corey Feldman during the beginning of the end. If You're a high school boy, what's not to like? No comedy, but Jack Nance always puts a smile on my face and there are boobs everywhere, so I'd say there are much worse hour and a halves out there.

- TriviaDuring filming, Jack Nance received a call from his then-wife Kelly Jean Van Dyke saying that she was going to commit suicide. Nance attempted to console his wife over the phone, but a lightning storm killed Van Dyke's end of the receiver. Nance, as well as the director, took 45 minutes to find a deputy sheriff, who in turn, contacted LAPD and Nance's apartment manager, but by the time they had arrived at Nance's apartment, it was too late, as Van Dyke had already hung herself.
- GoofsWhen the girl with the shotgun tries to shoot the clay pigeon she accidentally shoots the line towing the para sail and the line clearly separates. As the sail into the lake you can see that the cable is still attached to the boat.
