"How to Eat Fried Worms" (2006), a delightful family comedy produced by New Line Cinema and Walden Media, brings Thomas Rockwell's beloved children's book to life with a mix of humor and heart. Set in a typical American suburban neighborhood, the film follows young Billy, who moves into a new town and quickly finds himself embroiled in a bet with his new friends. The challenge?
