NewsBlaze

Emotional eating meets minimum wage blues, miraculously pulling off being outrageously hilarious while always remaining respectful of its persecuted portly protagonist, as it burrows into the heart and soul of small town dreams and big appetites.

Admirably matter-of-fact about its antagonist and his ceaseless barrage of emotional road blocks. (Plus it's funny.)

Rated: 3.5/5

Such a good movie. I loved the plot, the characters and they way they made the movie. It's sad, emotional and at the same time ironically funny. Very lovable main character.

I thought this was a great great movie. The plot was simple, and much more real life than movie, and I loved that about it. I don't really have a whole lot to say about it though. Haha. And... I had NO idea there was another Baldwin brother. Throughout the movie, I was thinking "Wow! That guy looks so much like Alec Baldwin!" ... William Baldwin? Surprise surprise!
