WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER received a benediction from that journal of taste and gratuitous Glee references, Entertainment Weekly magazine as a three-and-a-half star masterwork of film satire. Well, maybe on a scale of 1 to 7. I'm sorry, I really don't see the wonderfulness (I don't watch Glee either), even if several Shaker Heights expats had something to do with the film: debuting director and co-writer David Wain, music composer Craig Wedren and comic actress Molly Shannon. If EW mag had such excess affection for Shaker Heights, why didn't they show more love for the teen drama BATTLE OF SHAKER HEIGHTS?
