Blu-ray Review – Heavyweights

HEAVYWEIGHTS Ben Stiller

When "Heavyweights" opened in 1995, it bombed. It was an unsurprising

flaccid trailer, and a February release date, keeping the summer camp
adventure away from more appreciative summer audiences. I caught the
film during its initial theatrical release and was left a tad puzzled by
the effort, watching the production stitch together a traditional
Disney-style family film experience with an edgier comedic aim, keeping
what should've been a forgettable matinee distraction interesting,
dusted with a few sizable laughs. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
