Camp Hope is a summer retreat for overweight boys run by a kindly couple who make the campers feel comfortable with their extra pounds. But when tyrannical fitness guru Tony buys the camp, he puts the kids on a cruel regimen that goes too far. Sick of the endless weeks of "all work and no play," the kids stage a coup and reclaim their summer of fun.

Every time Allen Covert shows up in a random comedy my dumbass is genuinely so happy. Some truly horrific sites in this one, it’s like if Apocalypse Now met Holes.
