Just saw this at a film fest in Seattle WA.




The film was OK. The acting was adequate but the characters the people played weren't that likable. They all lost weight, or went into losing their weight with ulterior motives and intent to deceive which bothered me. NONE wanted to be healthier, physically or mentally. I felt as though people were written into the film to be made fun of.

Try not to gossip about who / what you don't know. Harsh words can be cruelly speculative.

Very true! Their motives behind weight reduction or gain were always connected to sex. Even the ulterior motives were not easy to follow -- quite often they seemed to choose to strenghten or to break up a relationship with an unmotivated randomness.
