let start off with the technical stuff . the acting be great with very believable character ( especially ramona ) . very developed storyline with well developed character also . great conflict with small conflict in between . now for the juicy and meaty and chunky part . the issue of obesity be a very real problem . however and the problem be not just health wise and but also a sociological and psychosocial problem . i do not want to spoil anymore for anyone and so i shall just say this represent the movie address the latter two problem effectively . i myself be overweight and but not to the same extent a one of the character be . personality wise and i be a likable person and but just like the heavyset character of the movie and i and too and underwent similar persecution in high school and which be not too long ago . all in all and whether you be fat and skinny and or in between the two and i suggest watch this movie . i be quite sure that you and at the least and know someone or of someone who fall into the same category a ramona .
