Let me start off by saying that this was not a great movie however, this movie made me very happy. It was a step in what I believe is in the right direction. This movie’s primary cast members consisted all body sizes but focused more on the morbidly obese. I say that with happiness in my heart due to the fact that I am 340 lbs. myself and is considered morbidly obese which I am working on. However, this shows that big people can also be recognize in Hollywood and other parts of the movie industry. It gives me some hope. Haha. So let us begin.
The movie is a basic slasher film. It takes place at a camp where people get well massacred. A host wants to have a reality series based on getting morbidly obese (This is a medical term), people into shape. The contestants are all men with extreme weight issues. However, they wanted money and took to the show. The show takes place on a campground in which a somewhat overweight killer is on the lose hacking, slashing, and murdering the contestants because they are overweight. This is the basic premise of the movie, but this is greatly combined with comedy and well mental abuse mainly fat shaming. So, if that offends you do not watch, but understand this the actors within the film are well aware of there size and chose to do this movie and took pride in it by showing off there bodies throughout. The murders are ridiculous and the props are cheap but who cares it is funny especially Daniel Emery Taylor who plays the comedic fat guy. There is also a mobster, a pimp, a nerd, a goth, a homosexual, and lets face it all facets of the human race are pretty much displayed here just as obese persons. There is crudeness to the movie but hell any these movies are like that especially in this genre.
Now what made me enjoy this movie is that the actors were not ashamed of what they looked like but took a bit of pride and showed that they can be funny and not offended by what they have. I especially appreciate Ami Taylor and Megan Hunt because they were not afraid to show there nude bodies off even though they were not a size 1 or whatever Hollywood deems sexy now. This made me happy not because, “OOOOh! Boobies.” but because they represented the everyday woman and did it also with pride because they were not afraid of what they looked like or who they are and smiled.
