While changes have been made to the book in the interest of compressing the story and emphasizing certain life lessons, the 33-year-old premise is still perfectly in sync with the sensibilities of preteen boys everywhere.
Worms is one of those rare kiddie flicks that successfully adopt a child’s-eye view of the world, where nothing is more important than saving face on the playground and where parents are as distant and clueless as storybook giants.
Nicely directed, the film version proves refreshingly free of the customary blights that affect most modern children's movies, notably adult condescension. But, man, is it mean.
The movie has a pleasing skinned-knee innocence that makes you wish everything else about it wasn't so shoddy.
Good message, mediocre movie.
After the first bit of fish bait is consumed, actually even before, this one-trick movie is a tough slog.
