Prairie Miller 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. Dec 19, 2009 Full Review Scott Weinberg Cinematical Admirably matter-of-fact about its antagonist and his ceaseless barrage of emotional road blocks. (Plus it's funny.) Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Hubbel really shines with a very sincere performance!!! Really enjoyed this film!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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!
