I sat with my children as we watched this film. We all found it to be a very entertaining movie.
When Billy goes to a new school, a fifth grade bully starts stuff with him and this is what leads to the eating of worms.
A bet is made and Billy has only so much time to eat 10 worms or else. From this point the bully and his friends try to come up with nasty ways to cook, fry or bake the worms to try and get Billy sick so that he will lose the bet.
Billy stays strong and eats his way into becoming liked more and more by everyone, even the bullies friends.
I wont tell you if he wins the bet or not...you will just need to watch it to find out but I will think that if you like good family movies you will like this one.
P.S. Let me add that this movie is not just for boys, I have all daughters and they really liked it a lot.

I remember first reading the classic book by Thomas Rockwell when I was in elementary school, but this movie is beyond an adaptation of the book. In fact, it is nowhere near as good as the book, despite some of the humor seen. It is one of the lamest examples of how someone can attempt to adapt a movie from page to screen. Some of the scenes in the movie aren't even from the book like the Brown Taod restaurant. Also, in the book, Billy Forrester (the main protagonist) has to eat a worm a day for fifteen days in a row. If you want to see a better version of Rockwell's book brought to the screen, check out the episode from CBS Storybreak on YouTube..
I really liked the movie. I remember reading it several times as a kid and was glad to see a movie had been made about the book.
I was kid-sitting for a boy and a girl, ages 11 and 8 and had to talk the girl in to seeing the movie. But happily, at the end, she was glad she saw it and even said that she wanted to buy it on DVD as soon as it came out.
There were some great laugh-out-loud moments and the movie was not as "gross" as I expected it would be ... tho it did rank pretty high up there on the gross-o-meter ...
The only thing I cannot figure out is why they had to have the "dilly" line in there that was done by Woody in reference to his private part ... that to me was the only shocker moment (and you could hear the adults in the audience audibly gasp at that moment in the movie) ... I have no clue why that was put in the movie; it added nothing to the actual movie except for that shock/gasp factor ... other than that, a pretty good movie. Nice to see the "Pepsi" girl all grown up.

After being forced to sit through some real stinkers (Racing Stripes, Shark Boy and Lava Girl) -- I truly enjoyed watching "Fried Worms". For once, I did not guess the ending! It was funny and entertaining and didn't resort to a ton of gross-out humor, despite the title. My boys (6 and 10) both LOVED it too -- oh and my 45 year old "boy" had a smile on his face the whole time. This is a family movie that is not just tolerable for the parents. The relationship with the little brother is so close to real life. "He is not stopping singing just to annoy me!!" Also, the way the new kid tries to make friends and how those friendships actually form is right-on with the way kids behave. Of course the parents have to act a little goofy -- but my favorite scenes involved the Dad getting used to his new job. Have fun!
it's a weekend i've been watched this funny film. and i really like it. all the kids are cute, who remind me of my own childhood with those stupid thinking. it's a real entertaining movie for a group of families at weekend night, which could make lots of memories and laughters. Kid's humor always work. nice acting as well. simple story but cool shooting. nice job for directer to find the kid's way. when it comes to the kid movie, i think of "12 and holding". another one this year but differed aspect to the kid's world, which is real and cruel. awesome work. H2EFW focuses on the happy side of childhood, which every kid and family need. p.s. Twitch, i think, is the voice of Nemo from "Finding Nemo".
