Synopsis:
How to Eat Fried Worms tells the story of Billy (Luke Benward - "We Were Soldiers," "Because of Winn-Dixie"), an 11-year old who, on his first day at a new school, inadvertently challenges the town bully. To save face and earn the respect of his new classmates, Billy agrees to a bet -- whether he can eat 10 worms in 1 day -- that will determine his fate at the school. As the pressure mounts, he must summon heroic strength to keep his 5-year-old brother from blabbing, his weak stomach from betraying him, and his big mouth from getting him into more trouble than he's already in. Starring Golden Globe-nominee Tom Cavanaugh (TV's "Ed," "Bang Bang You're Dead"), Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("Father of the Bride I & II," "We Are Marshall"), James Rebhorn ("Scent of a Woman," "Baby Mama"), and Hallie Kate Eisenberg ("The Insider," "Bicentennial Man").

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Of How to Eat Fried Worms, Michael Wilmington writes in the Chicago Tribune: "If your stomach doesn't churn a bit after hearing the title ... the picture itself may finish the job." Stephen Cole in the Toronto Globe and Mail suggests that the movie may be of special interest to youngsters who were barred from seeing Snakes on a Plane. "There is no getting around it, How to Eat Fried Worms is no more or less than its title promises. What we have here is a 90-minute worm-eating contest, a spectacle that could be of interest only to robins, small-mouth bass and eight-to-11-year-old boys. Girls, don't bother." And Lou Lumenick in the New York Post suggests that the film will probably find a receptive audience among preteens. "Gross-out title notwithstanding," he writes, "How to Eat Fried Worms is a blandly inoffensive 'After School Special'-type comedy based on a perennially popular children's book."
