Excellent coming-of-age fare about a new kid (Luke Benward) in school who may have bitten off more than he can chew when he bets the school bully (Adam Hicks) that he can swallow 10 creepy crawlies. Written and directed by Bob Dolman, who adapted the 1973 Thomas Rockwell kid-lit best seller, which received an animated TV treatment in 1985. Hallie Kate Eisenberg, Tom Cavanagh, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, James Rebhorn.
