Got this film on ebay i payed about £32 for it. Mainly got it for JJL but when i saw the film. It handled the subject of eating disorders brillantly. The film started with Jennifer doing alot of running, even at the begining she was skinny so you knew fronm the begining their was going to be alot of pain and heartache. What could i say about Jennifer acting on her charactor it was brillant. If someone just saw this film they most would say "she good, who is her ". The best part with JJL acting is when the doctor and the rest of the family are doing therphy and JJL is being ignored everyone is shouting at each other, ignoreing her. The doctor askes her to join. Then that little part when she tells her family and doctor how she fells. Very Very acting Remember this was her 3Rd film. Try and find kevin

i agree. i liked the fact that there was no happy side to the eating disorder. even when she made friends the seriousness of the problem took over. my favorite part is the phone call between casey and her dad. its done so well.

I PROMISE I'LL BE GOOD. I'LL EAT AND I'LL GAIN WEIGHT.

I was pleasantly surprised how good it actually was, the scene at the end when she told her parents how she really felt almost made me cry. I'm a male and I have not suffered from anorexia but this film made me think about my own life and relationship with my family.

The world is your lobster.
