Like many films that attempt to be inspiring, Heavyweights uses the sound track like a rubber hose to beat the audience into submission. The movie is so honest and good-natured that it's hard to stay mad at it for long. [18 Feb 1995, p.E1]
As comedies go, the unfunny Heavyweights sinks like a stone. [17 Feb 1995]
This movie comes from Disney and director Steven Brill, who brought you The Mighty Ducks. But Heavyweights has neither the action nor the emotional wallop of Ducks, though Ben Stiller tries so hard he's scary. [22 Feb 1995, p.5F]
A frighteningly unfunny comedy. [17 Feb 1995, p.05]

Stiller is at his finest here and he elevates what is already a great movie into an even greater movie. Heavyweights is simply hilarious. I've seen it so many times throughout the years and each time I crack up. It's a classic.

Not a bad movie. Not a great movie. Worth watching. Ben Stiller does his thing.
