Full Plot Details

The Forrester family - father Mitch Forrester, mother Helen Forrester, their pre-teen son Billy Forrester and their pre-school son Woody Forrester - have just moved to a new town where Mitch is starting a new job. Both Mitch and Billy are worried about fitting into their new environment. It's worse for Billy as Woody, who is not worried about the move, is at that stage in his life where everything is simple and easy. Billy's first day in the fifth grade at his new school does not go well when he gets into an altercation with the class bullies, led by Joe Guire. The altercation involves worms and Billy stating that he eats worms all the time, which leads to all the bullies calling him "Wormboy". As such, Joe bets Billy that he can't eat ten worms (without vomiting), the bet to take place this upcoming Saturday, with the last worm to be consumed by 7pm. Despite having a notoriously weak stomach, Billy takes him up on the bet. As the bet starts, the only classmate on Billy's side is Erika Tansy, a girl with a mind of her own. All the other boys follow Joe if only out of fear, especially as legend has it that the ring that Joe wears contains poison which will lead to a slow death if injected. The boys get into one misadventure after another as they try to find different places and increasingly disgusting ways to cook the worms before Billy consumes them. But by the end of the day, they all learn that there is strength in numbers in dealing with fear.

Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Gregory KirschlingHappily, after a cartoon opening-credits sequence that overdoes it on the barf, Worms goes light (but not too light) on the gore and the goo.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekA considerably more digestible serving of children's entertainment than you might expect.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanHere's hoping its old-fashioned sensibility appeals to contemporary kids, because we could certainly use more movies as smart and sweet as this one.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Kirk HoneycuttBoys will be happy at the mild grossness; parents will tolerate anything that entertains their hyperkinetic boys; and sisters will agree with the film's lone girl.
Newsday - 8/10 by Rafer GuzmanIt's nice to spend time in a mostly sunny world where everyone ends up happy. Except, that is, for the worms.
Movie Mom - 8/10 by Nell MinowThis is a delightfully snips and snails and puppy-dog tails-style movie, based on the book that has happily grossed out kids since 1973.
FilmJerk.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfHey, kids love the gross-out material, and Worms delivers on that guarantee with vast amounts of charm and upbeat execution. I just wouldn't recommend getting popcorn at the concession stand beforehand.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Bill ZweckerIssues like family harmony, justice, righting wrongs and telling the truth never go out of fashion and that comes across strong and clear in this less-than-perfect, but still solid, feel-good film.
Reel.com - 8/10 by Timothy KnightHow to Eat Fried Worms is an innocuous, coming-of-age, 'gross-out' comedy that quickly fades from memory, almost before the final credits roll.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Angel CohnWhile changes have been made to the book in the interest of compressing the story and emphasizing certain life lessons, the 33-year-old premise is still perfectly in sync with the sensibilities of preteen boys everywhere.
