The characters are charming, the acting is good for a kid's movie, the movie never gets preachy (unlike Hoot), and it actually features adults who aren't complete morons (again, unlike Hoot). It's very different from the book but still entertaining nonetheless.
shareI enjoyed it. "Fried Worms" was one of my favorite books as a kid and I've waited for years for someone to make it into a movie. This story strayed quite a bit from the book, but it was still a lot of fun.
shareI loved it. I didn't read the book before I saw the movie, but now it makes me want to read it. It does resemble Hoot, but it's really great.
Every girl deserves to be a princess <33
It was OK, I stayed awake and there were a couple of good performances and I loved the closing animation.

Yeah, I am always looking for non-Disney type films to show my nieces when they stay over, so i bought this because one of my nieces is into catching bugs & lizards.
They both loved it & wanted to watch it again as soon as it had finished.
I enjoyed it as well. It wasn't a typical saccharine US preachy type kids film.
They loved correlating the cover pics to the incidents. Pointing them out as they happened.
I'll now get the book for them.
The old style 70s animation type segments were excellent.
The message was subtle, yet imaginatively enforced.
The acting was good as well. Nice to see that dysfunctional kid from Weeds was also featured.
And Mark (Devo) Mothersbaugh did the soundtrack. Nice touch.
