Bill Murray was an SNL legend when he stepped out to star in his first feature film, “Meatballs.” The film also launched the directing career of Ivan Reitman, who went on to direct Murray in “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters.” Anyone who’s been to a summer sleepover camp can identify with the pranks and pranksters who let loose when parents are not around. Hilarity ensues when cut-rate Camp North Star competes with wealthy Camp Mohawk, and Murray, as Head Counselor “Tripper” Harrison, guides one of his young charges through a recent tragedy to find his way to the unique bonding experience of camp kids everywhere. The film was the highest-grossing Canadian film of all time in the United States and Canada, and cemented Murray’s viability as a box office star.
