Amazing movie, so happy to have this physically. We know Disney will take it off Disney plus eventually. The deleted scenes are hilarious.

This was one of my favorites growing up. When Gerald Gardner comes home the last day of school, he is shocked to hear that his parents have set him up at a Summer Camp - A FAT CAMP! Reluctantly he goes but finds out that the kids and camp counselors are really cool and fun is the focal point of Camp Hope. However, when the Camp owners reveal that they recently sold their haven to Health Nut, Tony Perkis (played by an over-the-top Ben Stiller), all heck breaks lose as he intends to sell a weight lose infomercial and get everyone in shape by Labor Day! Even if it kills them! All the kids are great and the camp counselors (including a young Paul Feig before his directing days) do an excellent job of supporting the campers through their plight. Ben Stiller is the main star though as he brings this Fitness Maniac to life. His visual comedy and articulation really sets the tone and he steals every scene. The Blu Ray is of great quality and there were no visual or audible issues that I could notice. Subtitles were clear and there is also a "Where are they now" special that interviews some of the kids as adults about their experiences with the movie. There is a great audio commentary as well. Will Tony Perkis turn Camp Hope's campers into athletic gods? Will they be ready to beat Camp MVP for the annual Apache relay? (that they embarrassingly lose every year!) Will Gerald Gardner become the leader he is destined to be? Overall, if you love Family Films, especially ones in the vein of Mighty Ducks, you will love this one. Great story, great characters and morals of sticking up for yourself, taking personal responsibility and flying high despite the odds. Highly recommended!

Excellent movie. Super funny and great lessons for everybody.

I love this movie and have only ever seen it on vhs. Saw it in the store and jumped at the chance of owning the Blu-ray. Very happy with the viewing.

The movie is awesome. The blue ray dvd selection is top notch at the hickory location. I would recommend shopping at this location

I loved this movie growing up! My 6yr old son and I watched it the other night after I purchased it and he loved it too!

This was my fav childhood movie when I was a kid and when I found out it was out on dvd and blu Ray I just had to buy it

Great Family movie, this has been one of my favorite since childhood. My niece's and kids really enjoy

Very funny movie! loved this movie when it first came out, and love it again after all these years:)

Heavyweights is one of those movies that you have to have because it was from your generation as a 90s kid.

Lots of child movie stars before their stardom. Classic comedy and it's pretty crude humor at times lol

Loved this movie as a kid. It was inspiring to see the bigger kids finally be the hero's of a movie.

My family laughed so hard during the movie. The characters in this movie take on a life of their own.

Such an inspiration. After watching this movie I now eat success for breakfast... with skim milk.

This movie is a classic if you want to laugh! A must own in any collectors collection!

Ben Stiller is at his best when playing an over the top, semi psychotic bad guy

Such a wonderful movie. Great storyline. Fat camp as never been more fun.

We love this movie and are very pleased with this purchase and the price!

Had to get this movie on blue ray always liked this move. Great extras.

This movie was just to add to the collection but a great movie at that.
