The idea is interesting - even if highly American oriented (indeed not many country but the US have to 'deal' with fat people to this extent). What is unusual is to have a movie that talk about this problem in a humorous way. I do not think fat people are perceived in a negative way on the contrary the movie makes them into stars. It may change the perception of fat people on the US. Overall it appears more like a movie that tries to show that we are all human regardless of our physical problems. Whether one is fat, a dwarf, disfigured or else we are still human with emotions and feeling. That is the nice part of the movie. Basically it is about accepting the other even if he/she is not a Hollywood stereotype. It is a difficult topic to address and to present in a movie and I think that presenting it with humour was probably the only way to go. Otherwise it would have been to depressing for all of us. So these are the good points of the movie.
Unfortunately, the movie was badly filmed. Indeed, too often did I see the microphone above the head of the main character. Even a 15 years old kid shooting a home movie wouldn't do such basic mistake. It is a disgrace to Hollywood and to the director. Did they watch the movie before distributing it ?
