How to Eat Fried Worms tells the story of Billy (Luke Benward - "We Were Soldiers," "Because of Winn-Dixie"), an 11-year old who, on his first day at a new school, inadvertently challenges the town bully. To save face and earn the respect of his new classmates, Billy agrees to a bet-- whether he can eat 10 worms in 1 day -- that will determine his fate at the school. As the pressure mounts, he must summon heroic strength to keep his 5-year-old brother from blabbing, his weak stomach from betraying him, and his big mouth from getting him into more trouble than he's already in. Starring Golden Globe-nominee Tom Cavanaugh (TV's "Ed," "Bang Bang You're Dead"), Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("Father of the Bride I & II," "We Are Marshall"), James Rebhorn ("Scent of a Woman,""Baby Mama"), and Hallie Kate Eisenberg ("The Insider," "Bicentennial Man").

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie is gross, which is probably why it will appeal to fourth-graders everywhere. There's also some crude potty humor and mild profanity, as well as name-calling and bullying. But the message is straightforward and simple: It's okay to stand up for yourself, and sometimes, you have to eat worms (or in grown-up terms, do something you don't want to do) in order to gain the courage needed to get by in this crazy world.
