Hopefully never. This movie does not need to be remade, you can't improve on this.

1st- No

2nd- Do you really want to see what Disney would do to this in 2022?

One of the GOAT “kid movies.”

And it’s actually still pretty hilarious as an adult.

I still like to think White Goodman is just Tony Perkis after he legally changed his name following his Fat Camp bankruptcy.

It’s only in jest. I mean do you really think they’d make a movie today about fat kids needing to lose weight?

If coming from Disney it’d be godawful. Some PC non-fat shaming, gay, humorless shite.

I agree that it does not need to be remade. This was one of my childhood movies, and I feel like, as others have said, a woke 2022 remake of Heavyweights would not be something the fans of the original would like, at least a good majority of them.

TD loses its shite whenever an overweight person is celebrated. I can’t imagine the shitstorm in the OT and here if they put out a movie telling kids that it’s okay to be fat.

What's funny is that none of the main characters in movie poster would be considered fat enough in today's society to be sent to fat camp.

The reboot was cancelled due to lack of hustle.


Deal with it.

Hopefully never. It would include at least two gay fat kids. Potentially one trans fat kid. The comedy wouldn’t hit the same because it would be all about empowering the kids instead of chastising them. Just please don’t ever reboot this. This is one of the movies I can’t wait to show to my kids when they get older.
