I love those movies that operate entirely on kid logic. The stakes are astronomically small and yet it's treated like a life or death situation. Like the moment when Billy contemplates running away from home because of this worms thing and it's played completely straight.

Guess my name is Nobody 🤷‍♀

I do…because I was randomly a background actor in this. 💀💀 Ultimate jumpscare seeing 9 year old me in the hallway scene at the end lmaooooo

This movie could’ve used an Adam Hicks rap scene

I remember my dad teaching me what they meant by “no animals were harmed in the making of this ____” while watching the credits to the movie when it first came out. And how that could be possible with what I was seeing 😂

This movie walked so diary of a wimpy kid could run

0:44 "It was me, Barry. im the one who put fried worms in your food"

RIP Blake Garrett:(

This will be a core memory locked away forever. My teacher played this movie for us and turned the lesson about it into a multi day project where we would do imitations from the book and on the last day we had a party where we watched it again and ate gummy worms with pudding and a bunch of other snacks, easily a peak point in childhood, being 21 I’d do anything to be back at that point for a moment

I actually vividly remember watching this film back when I was in elementary school.

Things were simpler back in the early 2010s.

15:11 This is TOOOOOO true. I work at Chuck E. Cheese, and it’s so cute and funny to see the kids just becoming friends in like 5 minutes 😭

the actor for Billy actually grew up in the same area as me, so when this movie was coming out there was this huge premiere event at the movie theater my mom used to work at where the actor and his family (apparently his mom was in it too as his character’s mom?) were present to do poster signing and a showing of the movie. my dad helped to create this bait shack thing for the actor to sit and sign things, and my brother hung out with him the whole time since they were the same age and they were supposed to have traded phone numbers to hang out more but that never happened lmao

then later on in high school i did a theater class with Billy’s actor which was wild, i don’t think he recognized me at all since we hardly interacted during that event but it’s interesting to say i have this specific experience with the main guy from How to Eat Fried Worms

Genndy Tartakovsky did the animated sequences, by the way.

I read the book and then my friend invited me over to watch it. Its wild how things have changed since then. It makes me grateful i grew up during that time

in memory of Blake Garrett

My college rock climbing instructor is in this movie. He’s the other red head kid (not Adam Hicks) with the glasses. We would joke in class that Adam ended up being Hollywood’s redhead kid so my instructor moved on to other endeavors 😂

due to the fact I had got the DVD of this movie for Christmas after it came out and watching it repeatedly, I caught on to the fact that he didn't eat all 10 because I counted each one that he did as they named it.

this movie kept me entertained as a kid

“I can eat THIS MANY!”
That’s ten, Billy…

I actually remember this movie VERY WELL, it scarred me for years!! I already had problems with eating a lot of food because of texture, but after being shown this movie IN SCHOOL BEFORE LUNCH? Let's just say I could never forget this movie
