`Fried Worms' has a couple of messages

How to Eat Fried Worms is a great movie because of its message, but boys will like it more than girls do.

It starts out with a cartoon of a boy named Billy (Luke Benward) and his life before he's forced to move because of his father's job. It shows his happy life with friends and family, but it also shows his weak stomach.

It then goes to reality and Billy's little brother, who really knows how to torture him, is eating a messy burrito to make Billy sick. It does, but it reminds Billy that he's going to be facing a new life.

His family gets to their new house and Billy hates it.

Can things get worse? Yes.

On his first day of school, Joe Guire (Adam Hicks) and his friends are already bullying him. But he's made at least one friend and doesn't know it.

Joe's friends put worms in Billy's lunchbox, so he bluffs and says that he eats worms and throws one in Joe's face. The next day people call him wormboy and on the way home, Joe and two friends bother him, so he makes a bet with Joe.

Billy has to eat 10 worms in one day, but each is different. Will he eat all of them?

The cast of kids in How to Eat Fried Worms is brilliant and does a great job at acting.

The message in this movie: Don't be a bully and fight back.

Another message is don't eat worms.
