Agree with the iconic areas comment. It also needs purpose. I know you were trying to be off the wall different. But let me see them laughing over a beer at an outdoor cafe, playing frisbee in the grass, being dumb and playing leapfrog. At least that resembles 'fun and off the wall' a bit more than 'we didn't know what to do other than make our talent act stupid'. Also, work on your exposure levels/shooting angles when working with the sun. Several shots in this should never have made air for that reason.
I'm just gonna take a guess and say resources may have been limited up in Rockford. It also appears to have been somewhat of a reactive spot. I.E., as if no time or advance notice was given for planning. I think it looks like it was shot behind their station, between commercial breaks. Still, its fun and way better than many -truly- awful spots that have graced this blog. Lots of room for improving effectiveness, but hey- good work. You'll never be strong if you don't have a weak reference point of your own...

A voice over or text on the screen would help this a long way.
Try introducing the viewer to the brand and message earlier. I didn't understand what I was watching until the splash page.
Looks like an energetic bunch with a lot of personality, maybe try digging into that with something a little deeper than "summer fun."
Try taking the shoot out of the backyard and into iconic, identifiable areas of your market.
vomit.

I hate these people. They must be destroyed.
