Watched this ay the Crystal Palace film festival, and to say it was bad is an understatement. This was so over the top in every want, that it was hard to care about any of the characters. It mocked these characters rather than make audiences relate or feel empathy. The story structure didn't work. Characters had no clear wants. It was also very triggering. Binge-eating (like bulimia and anorexia), is a real mental/eating disorder that affects many people, and sadly the way in which the film made light of binge eating was offensive and distasteful (pun intended). It also didn't help that the characters were so over the top, as this made them caricatures and not real-flushed out characters. When I first saw these actresses as leading ladies I was excited about the potential of this film only to be quickly disappointed. It was trying so hard to be funny but failed by not grounding any of its characters in believable humanity. I don't believe it was the fault of the actors since all three actors were over the top, the hair and make up was over the top and the entire film was very heavy handed and lacked subtlety.
