Most fun I've had with a movie in a long time. A film doesn't need to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable

This is a movie about a group of fat kids at a fat camp run by a fanatical health freak played brilliantly by the genius that is Ben Stiller. If you thought he was funny in "There's Something About Mary", you'll die when you see "Heavyweights". Although it at first appears to be your everyday, average, cheesy Disney movie, "Heavyweights" is a very funny movie that, although it makes fun of fat kids, is not in any way offensive, because it is far too stupid to actually take offense at. However, the only way I would not recommend this movie to someone is if they have a big plug up their bum, and wouldn't know a good time if it jumped up and bit them. So, if you've got an hour and a half on your hands, and want to have a nice, easy, viewing experience, watch "Heavyweights".

What's not to love about this movie. It's a classic 90's shenanigan comedy with the tubbies from The Mighty Ducks. They work so well together as a cast and their chemistry really shows. Although the movie's funny it doesn't start to get really good until about halfway through. It's rude, crude and childish with a carefree spirit...so moronic but you can't take it too seriously.

I do agree that it's a poor example of glutinous behaviour but even a child can tell that this is a gross over exaggeration and nobody commends this sort of diet and laziness. In saying that it's funny and not necessary about food. It's about losers becoming winners and the clinically insane getting what they deserve. And who doesn't like to watch that.
