It's understood that an overweight woman would join a group about fat acceptance. But when skinny, recovering anorexic Darcy tries to join, hackles rise. Curvaceous Lydia seems to be the only woman to realize the hypocrisy of excluding a woman who feels fat, even though she appears otherwise. The two develop an odd friendship, which tests the boundaries of friendship and size.

This film will never hit it big, which is sad. The leading actress is fat, but it's not a comedy element. Instead, she is bold, graceful, and damn sexy. A lot of Lydia's experiences rang true for me, since I am also fat. I squirmed at some of the awkward events she and I have shared. Like more traditional minorities, I welcome the realistic portrayal of people of size. It's refreshing.
