PlotA group of mischievous and rebellious college students work as waiters at a Jewish summer camp, where their antics quickly escalate into chaos.

Their primary focus lies in wooing girls, pulling pranks, and causing general mayhem. Tensions mount as their escapades disrupt the camp’s serene atmosphere, creating a sharp divide between the rowdy waitstaff and the authoritative camp staff. Amid the hilarity and confusion, the boundaries of authority and rebellion blur, leading to a series of unpredictable events.
Throughout the summer, the unruly staff's antics intensify, putting them at odds with just about everyone at the camp. Their love interests, friendship dynamics, and clashing personalities form the backdrop for a series of humorous encounters and misunderstandings. Each day brings new challenges and more elaborate pranks, stretching the limits of tolerance among the camp’s management. As relationships develop and conflicts reach their peak, the stage is set for an unexpected turn of events, transforming the summer from a simple getaway into an unforgettable adventure.

Gorp is a dreary, unfunny summer camp comedy with subpar humor, wasted cast efforts, mediocre video transfer, and an inconsistent audio mix on Blu-ray.
