CGiii Comment

Fat people whining about being fat.

Fat jokes.

Skinny vile kid insulting fat people.

More fat jokes.

Fat gay man resorts to prostitutes. Skinny vile kid films fat parents having sex. More whining about being fat.

And where's the comedy? There is none - just too much fat whining.

The director overuses every gimmick in the book and loses sight of the film - a comedy, it is not. A preachy debacle is what it turns out to be - not pleasant whatsoever.

The(ir) Blurb...

Abel is a therapist who regularly meets with a handful of clients struggling to deal with the physical and emotional problems of being overweight. Enrique is an actor best known as the spokesman for weight loss product who loses his job now that he is fat again; he is also wrestling with his sexuality when he begins dating Pilar, the wife of his business partner, after identifying as gay most of his life. Sofia is engaged to Alex, a committed Christian who ignores her sexual needs. While Sofia is able to reawaken her fiancée's libido, when she begins losing weight she finds he's most attracted to heavy women. Leonor has turned to food for comfort while her boyfriend is in the States. And Andres is a scientist married to Beatriz; they and their daughter are overweight, while their son is not. And as slender Abel tries to guide his clients to healthier and happier lives, he's forced to confront his own issues with fat people when his wife Paula balloons out during pregnancy.
