Zachary Beaver, a sideshow attraction known as the world's fattest boy, arrives in the sleepy town of Granger, Texas.
I thought this movie was very entertaining, in the spirit of "Stand By Me" but more life-affirming.
The movie was well cast. In particular I thought the characters of Cal and Scarlett were well portrayed.
I also enjoyed the "small town" feel. (It was filmed in Granger, Texas.)
If you read the book, the movie is a little different, (It's a modern setting, and the cafe is not in a bowling alley.) but the spirit of the book is intact.
