It's about as close to ''The Big Chill'' as you can get without awakening the copyright lawyers. True, the setting is a summer camp rather than a funeral, but Paxton's burned-out drifter has a certain hurt (as in William) to him, and Kimberly Williams even looks like Meg Tilly as one of the thirtysomething pals' twentysomething fiancee. Yet if the characters are prefab, writer-director Mike Binder does know from summer camp. The fireside readings of ''The Cremation of Sam McGee,'' the dumb contests, the ruthless pranks -- it's all here except the gimp keychains. The sentiments never go deeper than Hallmark, but this movie still makes a pleasant rental way to see out the summer.
