My Big Fat Not Funny Life

To start off, I loved the movie, but this wasn't funny at all. First of all I don't know why they changed the names of the characters, it would have been fine to leave them the same. I was glad to see the cast again but as for this shows humor value I didn't find anything equally funny as what was in the movie. I was looking forward to this, but it didn't pull off to my expectations. If you liked the movie you could check it out but don't expect much.
