Heavyweights was a quite a disappointment, considering the presence of Ben Stiller.
The movie sheds light on a popular summer camp for fat children that unexpectedly finds itself under different management. The new administration will make it clear very soon that some major changes are to take place…
The plot and the acting are surprisingly (!) average, while the humor and the dialogues are below average.
Ben Stiller’s character, a cross between Zoolander and Dodgeball (both being AMAZING movies), was unexpectedly plain and bland.
As for the rest of the cast, this film does not seem to be their thing.
Though the potential for a great movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really… No masterpiece here.

This is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. Not only is it unintelligent and unfunny(except for some of Ben Stiller’s scenes) it’s unrealistic and immoral. The message of the movie seems to be that overweight people are better than everyone else. The camp full of kids who are healthy are portrayed as idiots. They lose the final challenge at the end based on the fact that the healthy kids don’t know history or math. What does being overweight have to do with intelligence? Are fat kids smarter because they don’t go outside much and are forced to study? The movie is perpetuating stereotypes like “fat kids love eating”. They have a veritable orgy of excess when they take over the camp, covering themselves in chocolate syrup and honey. It’s supposed to be funny but it’s just stupid. Trust me, stay away from this movie. It’s a cliched horrible mess.

The only remotely good thing in this movie is Ben Stiller, whose parody of an infomercial health nut is very funny and fresh and well-done. The rest of the movie is absurd. The message seems to be that fat kids may be different and ostracized, but they should learn to accept their lot in life, and it’s ultimately okay because they are better and smarter than “normal” people anyway. Someone who is not fat is not intelligent and is invariably a jerk. At least among men; women are never truly explored. The movie also teaches that if someone is a mean jerk it is acceptable to injure and capture them and hold them in an electrified cell for weeks. Because he is exposed as a mean jerk at the end, there are no legal repurcussions. Also absurd is the fat kids’ complete obsession with food, a desire that goes beyond sexual … man, what a goofy movie.

“repulse the monkey – part the wild horses mane” “im doggin it, lets go T” “i see a future chairman of a fortune 500 company, there i see a future rap artist…” “i like comedians, maybe i should book you on a tour sometime” “get off the scale!” “you’re a negativity spreader” “there are alot of myths about the abdominal muscles, this is one i am glad to put to rest… you disgust me!”

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.
