ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Dallas Wagenecht In the spirit of other masterpieces such as "Cool Cat Saves the Kids" and "The Room." Heavyweights fires on all cylinders and delivers the laughs while still providing beautiful cinematography. The way you can see the cameramen's reflections throughout the movie really makes the experience that much more personal and deep. I actually cried when Lars popped The Blob. The Blob, in my opinion, is probably the greatest character in all of cinema. He's the most selfless and heroic character I may have ever seen in film. He's there to provide not take, and the way Lars destroys him is a great metaphor for how mankind is destroying the world around us for no good reason. The message of acceptance is also very inspiring. How these oppressed, ridiculed, and exploited children rise against the norm is truly astounding. Gerry reminds a lot of Harriet Tubman, in how he secretly let's the other healthy, in-shape, and intelligent live their lives to the fullest. Allowing them to have the most high quality nutrition that was once thought to not even be possible to man.All in all, Heavyweights is an amazing film for the whole family. I give this a 9 out of 11.

wes-connors Overweight high school student Aaron Schwartz (as Gerald "Gerry" Garner) thinks summer camp might be fun, but doesn't want to attend when he learns "Camp Hope" caters to portly adolescents. His parents make young Schwartz go anyway, hoping the experience will make him thinner. Initially, Schwartz finds it a fun place where fat kids smuggle in tons of candy. But quickly, the owners go bankrupt and oily fitness guru Ben Stiller (as Tony Perkis) takes over management. He immediately makes the boys camp a living hell...Flatulence, a four-letter-word, and Ben Stiller are used for laughs in this Disney production. There are ample overweight people in the cast, with whom weighty audience members can identity. The students are portrayed as fairly active, although it doesn't seem to benefit their health. Actual weight loss is not celebrated by these "Heavy Weights". The comedy team Stiller and Meara have a cameo as the camp's original owners; perhaps not coincidently, they are Ben Stiller's parents. Ben shows off nice hair and has a lot of exercise scenes.**** Heavy Weights (2/17/95) Steven Brill ~ Aaron Schwartz, Ben Stiller, Tom McGowan, Shaun Weiss

emmegirl827 The movie Heavy Weights was probably one of the cutest movies I've seen as a child. I did indeed go to summer camp, but I unfortunately was one of the only 'fat' kids there. This movie made me dream of going to a camp where EVERYONE was the fat kid.This is just a cute movie that does a great job of showing team work, self esteem, and believing in yourself.It also shows how often 'fat' kids are their own worse enemies...which I've lived first hand. And Toni Perkis JR is portrayed by one of my favorite actors Ben Stiller....is the perfect example of people who try to undersand what it's like for 'fat' kids, but have NO idea.

Lee Eisenberg Although we can all agree that Ben Stiller is one of the greatest stars of our time, I didn't get a good impression of him early on, due to this movie and "Flirting with Disaster". "Heavy Weights" is worthless another story of cool kids taking on an evil adult (well, what else could it be, seeing as to how it comes from Disney?). To add insult to injury, this movie seems to be promoting obesity. They stack the whole thing with flatulence when there's nothing else to do and play everything so that we know exactly what's going to happen. Absolutely dreadful. There's no need to watch something as stupid as this when there are so many good movies out there.
