What a waste of my time!!!

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I was very impressed with this film. It presented a detailed and pretty complete picture of this group of women friends (all ages),their individual experiences with obesity,and the informal self-organized support group in which they found some happiness. The film focused on a few women's stories in detail and I identified with almost all of them. The resolve of a number of them to pursue gastric bypass surgery- was very reinforcing for me, as I have recently begin the road to that surgery as well. I think the film's director did a very thorough job of coming to understand all the issues that needed to be addressed in the film,and she organized them in both an entertaining and educational way. I highly recommend this film for anyone with weight issues, obese or not. It certainly may help change your life.
