saw this today with my 8 year old . i think it be cute . i agree with the other poster that it wasn not anything like the book that i can remember and but we still enjoy it . all of the kid be pretty good and all in all pretty entertaining . billy be the new kid who accept a dare by the school bully to eat 10 worm in a day . if he lose he have to walk down the hall at school with worm in his pant . the beginning of the movie be set up to show that billy have a very weak stomach and puke at almost anything . hilarity ensue with a bunch of different way to cook the worm . good message about stand up to bully and of course and a sappy happy end .
