    I know it was fake but watching that kid eat worms made my stomach turn! Otherwise, this was a cute movie for pre-adolescent boys.

Worms has its share of kid-friendly gross-outs but is actually a sweet-natured look at standing up to bullies. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine

I hope life doesn't imitate art in the other fun movie opening this week, an adaptation of Thomas Rockwell's gross-out 1972 kids' classic How to Eat Fried Worms. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

If it grows more genial as it pokes along, it still feels like a lesser Nickelodeon special, with adults who are shrill cartoons and kids who are one-note character tics. full review

    yeah it is based on a book, it has the same name as the book too. i remember reading it in primary school, it was kinda gross. but this movie looks like they scaled down the gore factor seeing as its PG.
