Full Plot Details

11-year-old Gerald "Gerry" Garner lives in Long Island, New York, and he's overweight. Gerry's parents Maury and Mrs. Garner decide to send Gerry to Camp Hope, a camp for overweight boys. The camp is owned by kindly Harvey Bushkin and his equally kind wife Alice Bushkin. When the Bushkins file for bankruptcy the camp has to be sold, it is bought by a wacko named Tony Perkis. Tony plans to force the campers to lose as much weight as they can, and he also intends to document the marathon shedding of weight and use it for an infomercial for his slenderizing program. In the eyes of the campers, Tony has made Camp Hope a living hell. As Gerry and counselor Pat Finley lead the efforts to overthrow Tony, the campers prepare for the Apache Relay against arch rival Camp MVP. The Apache Relay is a kind of race in which Camp Hope has never defeated Camp MVP before.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe lovable losers get one over the pretty people, making incremental improvements to their lives without fundamentally changing what makes them unique—a hallmark of Apatow films to come that’s a decent fit for a family movie.
Blu-ray.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfTime has been kind to the discarded fat camp movie, finding Heavyweights more digestible these days, after years spent processing the askew sense of humor shared by Apatow and Company.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by James PlathA throwback to the early Disney live-action films that coasted on their premises and were content to provide lightweight entertainment and nothing more.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Hal HinsonBy the end, the film deteriorates into a combination sensitivity session and pep rally.
Baltimore Sun - 5/10 by Stephen HunterWatching Heavyweights isn't as bad as either war or fat camp, but its few bits of truly comic dialogue (courtesy of co-writers Brill and Judd Apatow) and inspired acting aren't enough to save the film from its syrupy and predictable theme.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Stephen HoldenHeavyweights is really two movies in one, and they don't mesh.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Michael RechtshaffenThere's never been a remotely significant summer camp film, and Disney's Heavyweights does nothing to advance the genre. Far worse, this yarn about an adolescent fat farm is shameful in its execution and content.
Low IQ Canadian - 4/10 by Martin ScribbsThe first American movie to explore the link between processed cheese and the need for love. A Hamburglar Joint.
User Review - 10/10 by Charlie SFive-star favorite. Why isn't this movie sold in stores anymore? Ben Stiller's all-time best movie. +ACTING: Ben Stiller
User Review - 10/10 by Colby P"attention campers. lunch has been cancelled due to a lack of hustle. deal with it" - tony perkis
