Gerry (Aaron Schwartz) is not looking forward to his summer vacation, since he'll be spending it at a camp for overweight boys in order to shed pounds. Fortunately, a kindly couple, the Bushkins (Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara), run the camp and make the process fun and relaxed. However, they're soon forced to declare bankruptcy and sell the camp to Tony Perkis (Ben Stiller), a fitness fanatic who turns the camp into a living nightmare of over-the-top training. But the kids plan to fight back.

Alison Macor Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 •  Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn The third act is a hard drop from the hilarious and unhinged first two acts of the film. Ben Stiller is completely insane. Rated: 3/5 •  Aug 21, 2024 Full Review

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro 茅 fraco, as cenas s茫o fracas, o elenco 茅 fraco, e ningu茅m ajuda a melhorar o filme, a hist贸ria 茅 fraca, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Josh G Hands down one of the best movies of my childhood my brother loved this movie. Plus we all know its the start of the Dwight Goodman trilogy. Starting as a fat camp owner.. stumbling to angry nursing home guy. Rising to Dwight Goodman. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review
