A classic that delivers laughs as big as the kids stomachs!
Heavyweights is the story of a group of kids who with the help of their counselor go on a mission to take back their fat camp from a crazy man who has never interacted with kids before (played by Ben Stiller) who is intend on making it into a money making informercial.

I first saw this as a child, and absolutely loved it. I must have watched it again on at least 5 other occassions. Recently I was in the video store and came across a copy of it for sale. After convincing my friend to buy it , we went back to his house and popped it into the VCR. I wondered if the film would hold up after all these years. Did it? Absolutely! In fact I may have gotten bigger laughs this time around.

I do not understand why this film has a 5.1 rating, after reminding this movie to my friends they all recalled loving it, and everyone I recently watched it with loved it. Ben Stiller’s character is hillarious, and the rest of the cast is great. Besides Ben, Kenan Thompson is the only other actor in this who went on to become somewhat of a star, which is suprising because all the kids give great performances. Tom Mcgowan, the man who plays Pat, seemed to be chosen for the role because Chris Farley passed on it, and John Candy died, but he gives a great performance.

I know it sounds cliche, but Heavyweights is truly one of the few movies that people of all ages will love.

9/10

Like “Dodgeball,” just stupid and silly enough to be entertaining
This is not a great comedy nor is it even as funny or even as “Dodgeball.” But Ben Stiller’s character here is very similar to his character in “Dodgeball” and I view it as a continuation of the same general person — an obsessive, delusional, insane fitness instructor.

In “Heavy Weights” Stiller is the new instructor at a “fat kid camp” who at first appears to be quite normal and nice but, once the parents turn their backs, transforms into a vicious fitness guru bent on turning the fat kids into a bunch of slim, well-adjusted teenagers.

This movie lacks the most basic intellectual intelligence and common sense — Stiller’s motivation is slight and what will he do to silence the children once they leave camp? Nevertheless it’s quite a funny little film that doesn’t attempt to be anything other than a simple family story.

For a PG Disney movie this is entertaining enough to please older audiences and adult enough in its material in certain places to raise an eyebrow or two. The ending is way over-the-top, but then again so is Stiller — and he’s really the reason to watch this in the first place.
