Get ready for a dose of 90s comedy nostalgia! Heavyweights (1995) is a cult classic family comedy about a group of kids sent to a “fat camp” that suddenly gets taken over by an unhinged fitness guru with extreme ideas about discipline, health, and fun (spoiler: there is none).

What starts as an ordinary summer turns into a hilarious rebellion as the campers band together to take back their camp, their freedom, and their dignity. Packed with absurd humor, heart, and one of the most over-the-top performances of the decade, Heavyweights is a fun, feel-good movie about friendship, self-acceptance, and standing up to toxic authority — perfect for a relaxed community movie night in New York City.
