what i expect represent a pretty jock who judge her mother harshly for be overweight and walk in a fat girl shoe and realize the internal and external pain of be fat . what i get represent a movie that go in too many direction and end up no where . on the one hand she be angry with her mom because she have a heart attack ( due to be overweight ) and the hospital bill take all of her parent saving and leave no money for her to go to college . i honestly do not think she would have care about her mom be fat if there be still money for her to get an education . so her anger have more to do with what she couldn not get and than concern for her mother . on the other hand she have a fat young brother whom she adore and protects and but doesn not understand why he let himself get bully and he tell her what choice do he have be so big and she say it all in the attitude and how you let people treat you . to win money for school she enter a documentary contest and the subject be that she pretend to be fat and use it a a sociology experiment to see if she would be treat any differently . well no big surprise that despite be nice to people she get treat like crap and then befriend a fat girl and a self proclaim loser . in the end she still doesn not understand why people overeat and or the emotional pain of actually be fat and overeating and she still continue to judge fat people harshly for eat bad food . so what do she learn about be fat . imo nothing . a few other side line and her loser friend and a guy she like who joke about a girl mom pass the fat test and i. e. if the mom be fat and dump the girl because she will look just like her mother soon . a father who be passive and it seem like he want to say something important but never do and her not be smart and but be in the fat suit she start to study and do well in summer school than ever before and the emphasis jock place on look and be in good physical condition and but the poor guy get a headache when she try to explain what she go through and that it good to exist on chemical shake and veggie and than a balanced diet and etc and etc . i be wait and hop for her and her mom to have a real heart to heart and for her to really get it but they just sum up their bad relationship in a two minute chat that barely scratch the surface . this could have be so much more .
