Wjat I saw on TV today
I was shocked. While flipping channels today I saw a movie I have not seen in years was on. This movie is one of my favorite movies of all tim. Heavyweights was a kids movie made in the 90’s It’s a movie about a bunch of fat kids who go to a summer camp. Bankruptcy forces the camp owners to sell the camp to a businessman who wants to turn the camp into a weight loss center so he can make money off of the kids. The movie is underated. The movie has Ben stiller playing Tony Perkis the new camp owner who wants to make an infomercial. The movie is not an Oscar type movie but it is a funny kids movie. One of my favorite songs is playing in the opening “Closer To Free” by The Bodeans. The movie has most of the kids that were in the mighty ducks movies. Most notably Keenan Thompson who currently now on SNL. If you were a kid growing up in the 90’s you loved this movie. Go to the store and check it out it is an amazing movie and it definitely withstands the test of time. Til tomorrow “Everybody wants to be cl0ser to free”
