Heavy Weights

Just now, I came back from my friend's dorm where a bunch of us watch the classic kids movie, "Heavy Weights". For a PG movie aimed toward kids, it's actually a very well made film and has genuine laughs throughout the movie. Part of the reason why it might be as good as it is might be due to the fact the half the writing credits go to Judd Apatow, which if you don't know who he is, he's most famous for being the brain child of hits like, "Knocked Up," "40 Year Old Virgin," "Freaks and Geeks," "Undeclared," "Step Brothers," "Pineapple Express," "Superbad," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and tons of other works. Though it has its moments of "cheese" here and there, it's definitely not dissapointing. Ben Stiller plays the part of an over-pumped jerk perfect like he does in most of his movies, which makes you love to hate how ridiculous his character acts. Also, no one can deny the hilarity that is Lars, the counselor from unknown origins. Here and there, you'll also see some very familiar faces, like "Goldberg" from the Mighty Ducks series, Allan Covert, who's known mostly for his work in Adam Sandler productions with Grandma's Boy being his most prominent role as the lead, as well as Ben Stiller's father, Jerry Stiller. It's definitely your money's worth if you rent/buy it. One of Disney's great 90's era movie. It's definitely one of my all time favorites.
