Editorial Review:
From the creator of THE MIGHTY DUCKS comes HEAVYWEIGHTS, a comedy of enormous proportions! It's the hilarious story of a group of underdog kids who discover their beloved summer camp has been sold to a crazy fitness fanatic who's determined to make their lives miserable! The new owner plans to keep the boys huffing and puffing, but these hungry kids have a plan of their own. They unite to turn the tables, take back their woodsy hideaway, and challenge the rival camp to the most outrageous summer games of all! You'll laugh out loud with these HEAVYWEIGHTS -- they're big, loud, and proud, and ready to win their way into your heart!
Heavyweights Reviews:
Super funny! 
2009-10-06 - ALL of my kids love this show (ages 16-5), boys and girls. It is a classic with a great moral and is 'edgy' enough for my teenagers to still like it. If you haven't seen it, please do. We have watched this show over and over and never grown tired of it.
Heavyweights DVD
2009-09-21 - I received my dvd in a timely manner, and everything was according to the details provided by the seller. I LOVE this movie and everything about my purchase was 5-star rating.
Excellence...with salamis on their backs, and twinkies on their pizza...
2009-07-15 - This movie has been in my collection for about 14 years. I always found it relentlessly funny, good natured, and full of wonderful comic acting and timing. Ben Stiller before he was a big star. And, it's a Judd Apatow movie for kids. Can't get any better to me. The movie centers on Gerry Garner, a chubby kid from Long Island with a mean dad, who himself in retrospect can't get away from work, or his own personal stuff to spend time with his overweight son. The other kids, namely Keenan Thompson, and Goldberg from Mighty Ducks all shine, full of one liners and great physical comedy. There are some seriously funny can't miss sequences here, some involving a strenuous hike, a hilarious food discovery, weigh in/photo session montage, and quite a few others. The line I can't ever forget in this movie is "You've Broken My Camera!". When you see it, you'll know why I laugh. Seriously. All things aside, I think this movie is excellent for the 8 and up crowd, and at 22, I still find myself cracking up at it. Yes, I was and am a fat kid, but I never had a problem finding something about myself to laugh at. This movie is excellent...and was also a sign of things to come...look at Apatow now! ENJOY!
CLASSIC MOVIE !!
2008-12-19 - this is one of those movies that you will like no matter how many times you watch it. and there are so many funny lines that are just quote-worthy at all times. i love this movie and if someone tells me they haven't seen it i beg them to....it's seriously a classic and i love it !
cheese movie heaven!!!!
2008-11-28 - when i was growing up i used to watch a lot of the dumbest children's shows ever. the disney channel was responsible for a lot of the then goofy humor that everyone now doesn't appreciate that much. in the mid 90's i remember watching the mighty ducks, honey i shrunk the kids, honey i blew up the kid, blank check etc.., then along came a movie called heavyweights. when i first saw this movie i couldn't stop laughing at the stupid humor these kids could come up with, but what i thought made the movie was ben stiller as "uncle" tony perkis. his whole attitude and mannerisms in this movie are his best work i think he has ever and will ever do. some of the funniest moments in this movie seem like they could happen at any camp. the quotes from this movie will stay burned in my brain forever. when tony perkis finds the campers candy and meat stash, he finds a huge salami in one of the bunk bed's boards. without missing a beat he says "ooh look, a deli meat!!!" as he bends it in half and sends it flying behind his head as it rolls off a table. for some reason this type of filming with a lot of just down right dumb one liners will never get too old for me. i guess it is what you grow up on that makes you prejudice towards any new shows or movies that come out in the future. but for me this will always be one of my favorite comedies of all time.
