Diane S As a yo-yo dieter throughout most my life, I could relate to Ricki Lake’s character, “Grace”. Craig Schaffer (Rob) was a wonderful love interest, and the fickle best friend (Keri) played by Nada Despotovich was hilarious but maddening. The mortuary make-up scenes and the subway conductor scenes made for an interesting and unusual background. Loved this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Audience Member It was ok but Ricki Lake was cringey, her acting was ehhhh. Her character is insulting to large sized women. They also stereotyped thinner women & good looking people in general. It had potential to be good, if they hadn't put down overweight people so much. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member As a plus size girl, I love this love story for the not so typical woman. I NEED A COPY OF THIS MOVIE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
