Customer Reviews

quite the surprise
Well I knew nothing about this movie. Turned on the TV and there it was. Was captivated by Jonathon Lipnicki. What an adorable little boy. Reminded me of a nephew of mine. The movie also had Eric Stolz in it, good as he always is. It's a cute movie about a boy who is billed as the Fattest boy in the world, that's Zachary coming into town. It's a movie with a good message about life and innocence. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.

SOLID ENTERTAINMENT FOR KIDS AND ADULTS! 3 1/2 STARS!
Interesting coming of age film with the story centering around two friends who befriend an obese boy in a makeshift sideshow. The film is a cut above most juvenile fodder with some funny and interesting characters. Amanda Alch is a stand out as a pint sized southern bell! It's clean and short and the story isn't dumb-ed down, so adults can enjoy this film too. I caught this on cable, so I don't know what the DVD quality is.

Great for Familes & for Teachers
Like another reviewer here, I am a teacher who purchased this movie to go along with reading the book "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town".

The film is a great compliment to the book, and a good family movie in it's own right.

There is plenty here to discuss - prejudice, loss, friendship - for either the classroom or a family film night. Keep a little Kleenix handy, though. There are some tear jerking aspects.
