Summary: This Movies Rulz!!! I'am Perkisizing!!
Review: Heavyweights is a great summer movie, and a great movie overall. It really trys to express what kids think about themselves, and have fun no matter how fat you are. I think the Larrs character is a grade A goober, with his screaming at deer. McGowan and Schwatrz had good chemestry together. And how come half of the cast was part of the original Mighty Ducks? I un know.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic 90s movie at its best
Review: Heavyweights is by far my most favorite movie ever. The characters of Tony Perkiss and Gerald Garner are classics. The plot, centering upon the new camp director (Ben Stiller) of "fat camp" and his experiences with the rebellious campers, is fascinating and incredibly entertaining. The campers' continual battle against Tony and their final assault on his dignity and authority provide comedic relief for the touching moments in this movie. This movie definitely stands at the top of my list! It is a classic 1990s movie...Buy it today!

Summary: Looks like my man's packin'
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I can't believe this movie's still funny even now!
Review: I can't remember the first time I ever saw this movie, and after all these years it's still hillarious! It's about a camp for overweight kids that gets taken over by a psycho fitness infomercial guy named Tony Perkins(Ben Stiller). Ben Stiller is one of the funniest guys ever, and you can clearly see that during a scene where he forces the kids to go on a hike up a high mountain. On the way up he says, "Did you ever hear the story of Icarus? He continually rolled the ball up the hill. But when he got too close, the ball melted in the heat of the sun. You're all like Icarus!" Soonafter he ends up ordering the campers to do crazy zen stuff like 'feel the chi', 'Repulse the monkey', and 'part the wild horses mane'.
. Another memorible and funny scene is when Lars(a guy who comes from 'far away') is tied to a tree and is asked if he'll join the kids in their liberation of the camp. He replies with his accent, "I am with you. I LOVE you." And underneath all the comedy and hillarious moments with Stiller and crew, is a message about respecting others and ultimately, respecting yourself. If you're looking for a nice little comedy, then you should at least rent this. You'll at least get ONE laugh or two out of Heavyweights!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is great. I like it.
Review: I like this movie because it's funny. I like how Ben Stiller puts the kids of the camp on unsafe diets. I like how he does it very nicely. I like how this movie carries a message with it about self-respect. Yep, I'm twenty-two years old, and I still like this movie even after five years have passed. Funny, isn't it? I highly recommend this movie to anyone of all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favs of all time!!!
Review: If you haven't seen Heavyweights, GET IT!!!!!!!!!! It is one of the first films that Ben Stiller was in, which i think is the best part of the movie as he plays Tony. Another fav of mine has to be Lars who is one of the camp counselers. He has so many funny lines. I think that the movie is way underated b/c of the plot which is kids going to a "fat camp". it's hilarious, trust me!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Heavyweights a fun and funny movie to watch
Review: If you're looking for a reason to watch this movie, the one on the top of your list should be: Ben Stiller. HE plays the crazy new camp director who's trying to get the campers to slim down. His character is just so zany it holds up the rest of the movie. Memorable lines: "I'm feeling skinny Tony!", "As director of this camp I'm looking forward to interacting with kids for the first time", "Someone help me get these salamies off my back", and, "Congratulations Mr. Simms,...you are the fatest boy in camp". This is the kind of movie where you'll remember the characters for their wackiness and wit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Orgasmic Movie Going Experience
Review: LUNCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED TODAY DUE TO LACK OF HUSTLE. DEAL WITH IT. These were words that changed my life and sent my emotions on the roller coaster ride of a lifetime. Surely the fact that this movie has stood the test of time does cinematic justice to its inherent excellence. Other camp movies, such as the critically and publicly abhored "Camp Nowhere" and the television program "Salute Your SHorts" have come and gone, but "Heavyweights" remains at the pinnacle of the shrine of all camp movies.

Post Script: Ben Stiller has a footlong...................DELI MEAT!!!!????!!!!????!!!????

Rating: 5 stars
