How to Eat Fried Worms Ratings & Reviews
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's actually kind of disgusting and gross, and I'm sure that's the point, but I don't see the entertainment value in watching a kid eat one worm after another, after another, after another.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Worms has its share of kid-friendly gross-outs but is actually a sweet-natured look at standing up to bullies.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Take the kids to see How to Eat Fried Worms, but hold off on forking over the usual princely sum at the concession stand.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
It's a pleasant and well-intentioned end of summer diversion that doesn't possess the imagination-stoking qualities of a premier children's movie.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A blandly inoffensive 'After School Special'-type comedy based on a perennially popular children's book.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
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.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Here's hoping its old-fashioned sensibility appeals to contemporary kids, because we could certainly use more movies as smart and sweet as this one.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
When it comes time for the movie to impart its lessons, it does so in such a way that kids won't feel like they're being forced to eat their broccoli -- or live worms -- for that matter.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Somewhere in How to Eat Fried Worms is a message about keeping your word and the pitfalls of peer pressure.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Zwecker
Issues like family harmony, justice, righting wrongs and telling the truth never go out of fashion and that comes across strong and clear in this less-than-perfect, but still solid, feel-good film.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
An appealing juvenile cast distinguishes this otherwise uneven live-action adaptation of Thomas Rockwell's 1973 young adult book.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
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.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
By now we're all sick of snakes on a plane, so how about some worms on a plate?
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
Anarchic but charmingly authentic.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Jettisons nearly everything about the book except a few character names and the gross-out subject matter Didn't anyone involved stop and say, 'Wait a minute — this isn't overcoming bullying, this is bullying'?
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This is a delightfully snips and snails and puppy-dog tails-style movie, based on the book that has happily grossed out kids since 1973.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's nice to spend time in a mostly sunny world where everyone ends up happy. Except, that is, for the worms.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The film version of Thomas Rockwell's 1973 book proves refreshingly free of the customary blights that affect most modern childrens movies, notably adult condescension.
Austin Chronicle
Toddy Burton
Though Fried Worms is not a kids' movie that adults should run out and see, it is a kids' movie that adults should run out and take their kids to.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Kids won't get hit over the head with the messages, but they're not buried so deeply as to be indecipherable.
