I love this movie.
Three groups camp out in a field but don't get on particularly well.
Small-scale comedy involving a couple who decide to take a break in the country. There were no mobile phones back then but people didn't have earpieces for their radios so the holiday is interrupted. Then along comes a pair that should not be allowed to camp anywhere. There are dozens of funny scenes in this movie: the hitchhiker who turns out to be the nasty neighbour, the sing-along, the fight that ends in tears, the way the couple gatecrash a dairy and quarry expecting to be treated like guests, the dialogue, the lectures on sausages and the country code. I had a cousin like that guy - all compasses and Swiss army knives. This is how good movies are done - small cast, great script and performances, no subplots, short duration, a unique perspective, simple setting, few locations, realist approach, and a sad-but-true message. Watch this movie the next time it's on TV.
Nuts in May is a great true-to-life comedy.
