About
You may like Heavyweights if you enjoy loud, goofy underdog comedies with a summer-camp setting and a big, over-the-top villain; Not for you if you want subtle humor or a more serious take, though fans of The Mighty Ducks may find a familiar charm.
Pros: funny camp chaos; memorable villain; underdog spirit | Cons: one-note jokes; uneven tone; some rough humor
