How to Eat Fried Worms

How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) is Bob Dolman's family comedy, ready to watch online on iFILM. Eleven-year-old Billy moves to a new town and, on his very first day at school, runs straight into the class bully.

To save face in front of his new classmates, Billy blunders into a wild dare: eat ten worms in a single day or be branded a coward forever. What follows is gleefully gross kitchen science — worms fried, boiled and disguised as anything that might go down easier. Meanwhile Billy has to manage his own queasy stomach, a little brother who can't keep a secret, and a tormentor waiting for him to crack. The cast includes Luke Benward, Adam Hicks and Hallie Kate Eisenberg.

It's an adaptation of Thomas Rockwell's much-loved 1973 children's book, played with the kind of squirmy schoolyard humor its young audience eats right up. A simple, good-hearted tale about a dumb bet that turns into real friendship. Stream How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) online on iFILM.
