May 23, 2012fb100001592288964Insanely nostalgic. Tony Perkis and Lars are two of the greatest cult comedy characters of all-time! If you want to see Ben Stiller at his most over-the-top hilarious level, give this a look. And if you're a 90s kid, I'm sure you remember this film, too. If not, watch it now!

July 12, 2010As an aspiring infomercial fitness-life coach-messiah playing God over a summer camp, Stiller goes out there, without fear of overplaying it, and it might be his best performance -- I think better than the variation in Dodgeball. Maybe the movie needs this hock of ham, since befo... read more

May 9, 2010Great Lines, emphasizes a massive consumption of food, so heck yea.
Update: From the creative genius of Steven Brill (Mighty Ducks) and Judd Apatow? In the 90's, Brill was a stud and Apatow was a dud. Brill peaked here and Apatow must have done some serious Perkis-sizing beca... read more -
March 15, 2010i dont believe in magic, but for some odd reason i cant visit someone in the hospital without this poppin up on their t.v. aside from that its a pretty funny one and i think Judd Apatow wrote this?

January 25, 2010Dumb roommates... why do they force me to watch movies I KNOW I won't like?! A few little chortles, but really... not all that funny and really kind of offensive. Ben Stiller is so young in this! But I can definitely see a standard be set for all his future roles. *eyeroll*

September 14, 2009I've never been able to relate to being fat, and never plan to, but still found this to be a very entertaining film and very much worth my time.

November 21, 2007Did anyone actually think this was a legitimately good movie? Whatever. Childhood memories, etc etc.

June 22, 2006It's not a very good movie. Funny at points, and creepy in others (like with Ben Stiller's character).

August 8, 2010Ben Stiller's best movie ever? Probably pretty close...
Lovable and laughable campy classic about fat kids going to fat camp. Emphasis on the word "camp". Completely unrealistic plot line with semi-realistic dialogue, this movie is a great portrait of mid-90s America in all i... read more
