Heavyweights

Heavyweights 1995 USA As a former fat kid growing up in the 90s, who needed to keep one foot off the scale to make weight for football, this movie is special to me. Camp Hope is a fun summer camp for fat kids but when a new owner takes over it becomes the kids’ worst nightmare... Exercise and healthy food. “Attention campers, lunch has been canceled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it" Ben Stiller is hilarious as the fitness guru Tony Perkis who preaches the PerkiSystem. White Goodman from dodge ball might just be Tony Perkins reinvented. This movie is non stop fun from start to finish and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. As a comedy goes this is a 10 out of 10. @karpusmaximus who requested this movie said "It really delves into the simple humor for any age" His favorite quote is "Josh: The candy belongs to... Seymour Butts. Tony Perkis: Seymour Butts? Seymour Butts? Who's Seymour Butts, hmm? Who's Seymour Butts? Josh: Nobody's seen more butts than you, Uncle Tony" There are way too many memorable quotes so comment below your favorites.
