    Camp Hope is a summer camp for fat kids; it is also the locale of this Disney family comedy. All of the kids at Camp Hope have a weight problem. It is the one place they can go without feeling different. But when the previous owners declare bankruptcy, the camp is purchased by an obnoxious fitness freak who becomes obsessed with changing his chubby charges into budding body builders. He immediately begins serving them low calorie foods and subjecting them to rigorous exercises. Part of his motivation is greed: he is in the process of writing a book, and filming an infomercial on weight loss. The boys at camp rebel and mayhem ensues. Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

    October 27, 2006: I thought this was a very good movie actually. The only differance is when it was released on DVD it didn't have any special features on it. I rented it on VHS and I don't think I'm gonna buy the Disney pan & scan t.v. DVD because , it is simply missing way to much, If Disney ever released a better edition of the DVD , I would definatley buy it. So any of you that have waited long enough to buy this movvie , then go ahead and buy it but I would recommend that you buy the VHS version untill a better edition of the DVD comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    December 19, 2005: Camp Hope ah the great outdoors, but not for these fat kids. They like to stay inside and just get bigger and when they're around each other they don't feel different. When the camp goes bank robbed they turn it over to this new guy (Ben Stiller) who's going to get every kid he can into the best shape of their life. For these kids that's going to be a problem. So as they go through the camp season they take over and with a great ending. FUNNY is what we give it from the New York Times
