Also released under the title The Rites of Summer, this film follows the adventures of pampered city boy Alan Block (Sean Astin) when his parents ship him off to a wilderness camp. Once there, Alan and the other three campers must attempt to live up to the tough expectations of their guide, Vic (Kevin Bacon), who is determined to push the kids as far as he can--and maybe farther. ~ Iotis Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Jeff Bleckner's action-adventure film White Water Summer comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 4.0 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers. This is a solid, if unexceptional release from Columbia/TriStar that will most likely appeal to hardcore Kevin Bacon fans. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
