You had to know when comedic juggernaut, Judd Apatow and Mighty Ducks writer, Steven Brill got together they’d strike gold. The result was a fat camp comedy with a ton of heart. Heavyweights turns 30 this year, and there’s no doubt that it has stood the test of time.
Released on February 17, 1995, the film grossed $17.7 Million worldwide on a budget of $10 million.
Although it didn’t crush at the box office, Heavyweights remains a go-to for ’90s kids and nostalgia-seekers. Raising a glass to 30 years of Camp Hope.
