this movie be disturb and not because of the subject matter but because of the way it be handle . the extremely overweight mother ( angela ) do not even make it on the cover of the video case when most of the rest of the cast do . this be not fair but be a statement in itself . i also notice her picture be miss from imdb ( maybe her own choice ) and it look like this be her only film ever . the language in this movie be crude beyond necessity . watch with my 10yr old son because it be rat pg in canada and the language come out of their mouth be shameful and disgust . never do appreciate shirley maclain like so many others seem to . love kathy bates and always will . sinese part be annoy . the little boy alex be a great little actor . i will have to see what else he be up to lately .
