    Demonstrating that his PerkiSystem total fitness program builds strong bodies, health nut Tony Perkis (Ben Stiller, supine) proves his point on a bed of nails as the awestruck campers witness Lars (Tom Hodges, center) smashing a block of ice on Tony's brick-hard stomach.

    Brawn is no match for brains when Gerry (Aaron Schwartz, left) and Roy (Kenan Thompson, right) take control of the camp and use their clever wits to retaliate against the bully counselors including Lars (Tom Hodges, center), who have made their summer unbearable.

    To this day...
    ...I don't know how on god's green earth I originally watched this film!

    A stupid feel good film about a bunch of FAT kid's who are sent away to the American tradition of Summer Camp, in these kid's case FAT CAMP!

    A coming of age/lesson learned (that you can achieve and that it's okay to be FAT)

    A few familar faces appear in this here movie including Ben Stiller and the fat one from Keanan & Kel in fact a couple of the kid's were token Disney player's who went from film to film for the Disney production companies (including this one)

    A rubbish film really!
