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.
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(eraser-head) Nance must have been in a bad place in life to accept this role. Feldman, what to say besides; Drug use. His solo dance sequence plays out like a vivid fever dream. Watch at the end of the film as Feldman is delivering a joke and his frigging' tooth falls out.The script is non-existent, I mean even in some of the worst T and A pictures of all time there are some chuckles to be had;not here. Most of the cast made me fighting mad with their hair do's (or don'ts as the case may be)and who in the fun*k is going to believe that people think Feldman is cool. He looks like a 12 year old who got into his mom's cross tops, he kind of reminds me of an old neighbor I hate, which makes me want to fight him even more. In the end, I can only wish bad things on the people that made this picture, I would have rather had them spend their money on hookers and hard drugs, at least then we know some professionals would have been involved.
If you've seen this movie you might have realised it, but this wasn't even actually intended to be a "Meatballs"-sequel. They just put a "Meatballs"-sticker on some random summer camp movie and hoped that somehow would make it suck less. But anyway, a couple of playmates that do absolutely EVERYTHING topless, an annoying fat teenager who looks 42 and will definitely take a playmate home and Corey Feldman at the highlight of his career all take on an evil rich woman who wants to steal an old guy's (played by Jack Nance, WTF?) summer camp. The guy sees no other option than to sell the camp but Corey Feldman, who looks really bored throughout this movie, has an idea: beating evil woman's team at water-skiing. I don't know much about that constitution, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say: The ownership of all properties will be settled by water-skiing contests. From what I know, it works with paying money and stuff like that. But anyway, you'll never guess how it ends.
However, does anybody care about how boring, predictable and unfunny this movie is? I mean: it's T&A, there's T, there's A, no reason to complain. Stuffing plot holes with boobs is still as brilliant as it was when it was invented, may the tradition go on forever. But still, this is a way too light movie that you forget the instant it's over. What the heck am I commenting on again?

Teenage, Summer Camp, Tits n'Ass movies can almost justify a minor sub-genre of their own - I'll wager there is the odd student thesis floating around, discussing their effect on late 20th Century American history.
'Meatballs 4' is a sequel in name only (in the UK it was retitled 'Summer Vacation'), and is a dumb pointless release which will provide shallow laughs for the most undiscerning adolescent male. The story, for what its worth, involves the rivalry between two summer camps, one of which is trying to buy-out the other. Things stumble along until the watersports competition finale between the camps which will decide the fate of each.
It's a complete waste of your reading time and my typing fingers to go into any more detail. The film is rubbish, but there is no point in criticising it for this - it doesn't fail to live up to expectations because it doesn't have any. You don't go to a burger bar for nouvelle cuisine and you don't put 'Meatballs 4' in your video hoping for 'Battleship Potemkin'.
BEST SCENE - the film peaks early with a superb naked college girls shower scene.

- 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.
