Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Here's mine.
THIS MOVIE IS A GEM! A heartwarming, humorous, realistic view of the ups and downs of a large-bodied man. I say this because I myself was in a relationship with a lovely gentleman who happened to be of ample body contour, and the courtship scenes with Dom and Lydia reminded me of my courtship with my own hefty, handsome boyfriend. Also, gotta love Anne Bancroft as Our Hero's shrewish sister FAVORITE SCENES: Our Hero sneaking a wedge of his nephew's birthday cake, and his sister blowing a gasket! Our Hero crying when the diet doc gives him a list of Foods To Avoid, all of which he loves. The weight-loss intervention turning into a pig-out party. The Chinese food! (The sister having a meltdown! Classic!) Our Hero threatening to cut off his brother's "huevos" after Bro padlocks the fridge and larder. The scenes with Our Hero and his sweetheart. This is a beauty of a film with a beautiful message (love yourself no matter what your bodily dimensions) that deserved more attention than it got.
