Movie Reviews of Heavyweights
Movie Review: Mmmmm, can you smell it?
Summary: 5 Stars
My brothers and I rented this movie a long time ago. We watched it whenever it was on the Disney Channel and finally got the DVD. I have since realized that it is among the best comedies made in the 90's, despite a rather didactic message about self-esteem, obesity, and other fat-person cliches.
There are so many classic parts of this movie. Give most of the credit to Ben Stiller, because he steals the show. This movie wouldn't be a tenth as good as it is now without Stiller. But some of the fat kids are pretty funny too. Of course, you have to deal with all the cheese that comes with almost every Disney movie, but it's worth putting up with. I never get tired of watching it. I can't say enough about Ben Stiller. It's probably his best performance ever, and he even resurrects his character for the movie Dodgeball. There are a lot of lines in the movie that are so strange you can't help but laugh. The ending is pretty bad, with the fatties winning the competition, but that's to be expected, right? Get this DVD and only watch the funny parts.
Movie Review: ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is hilarious!! Someone reviewed this movie on cd now and said that the messege to the movie is that fat kids are better then everyone else and all the healthy kids are stupid, and that it's full of stereotypical stuff. Well, if you happen to pay attention to the movie a little then you'd see that the messege to the movie was that over weight kids can do just as much as skinny kids and it also says that you shouldn't make fun of someone just because they are bigger and more heavy. It also says to be happy for who you are, even if you are a big kid. Anyway, I love this movie, I watch it whenever it is on and I end up telling my self, "I gotta buy this movie". So I'll have to buy it sometime. Ben Stiller is hilarious in "Heavyweights". Ben Stiller Plays the new owner of Camp Hope, and he puts all the kids on really unsafe diets. Like 20 mile hikes, food deprevation, and more. All the kids at the camp decide to rebel against him! I'd give this movie more stars if I could. Really great movie!!Movie Review: ABSOLUTELY GENIUS

Best moive ever written. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never throw the dodgeball at the fat kid again. Fear the blob, enjoy the go-karts, then head back home to the chipmunk bunk where you may eat all the candy you want... you may even get a taste of england. Just be sure you can drive stick and keep it under 60 due to the weird local cops. But fear the switch from the friendly owners to team jerkis. Now the blob is dead, go-karts in pieces, and the candy stash gone. I'd give this 6 out of 5, it's that good. Plus, if you like this move as much as I, you can head on over to ..., the heavyweights movie media club, and download yourself some nice sound bytes from the movie. Currently the largest, and only, archive on the net!Movie Review: Looks like my man's packin'

Hi, Hi, Hiya! Uncle Tony would want you to see this movie if you never have. If you're looking for laugh-out-loud humor and scores of awesome oneliners, get a group of friends together, get your fast food from the hollow stump in the forest and have a blast. The sappy, love your-self message is great and all, but the comedy involved here far outstraps the boring seconds you have to wait while the kids learn to love themselves. And if you get bored during those touching moments, pull a lars as he woes nurse Joooolie... "BODY!" For the love of deli meat and pez, see this movie. love it, live it. You'll never regret the time you spend perkisizing. Just ask little Tony. I gotta go - I gotta thing. I'm toast.Movie Review: Heavyweights(1995)*****BEN STILLER IS THE MAN
