What's Tiny Fugitives about?
Growing up, did you ever have so much fun at summer camp that you thought, Hey, what if we never left? Well, that's exactly what this determined group of 12-year-olds thinks and tries to accomplish in this new Seth Rogen-produced hilarious comedy.
After having one of the best summers of their lives and dreading the idea of going back to reality, they hatch a chaotic plan to spend the rest of their lives at sleepaway camp. Except there's one problem. Bob, the 50-year-old lifer counselor, is standing in their way and will stop at nothing to thwart their plans.
The entire thing is so genuinely laugh-out-loud funny that you'll likely find yourself cry-laughing for most of it, and wanting all of your friends to watch it, too.
