You won't be disappointed!

Takes itself way too seriously

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

No great shakes, but a real nice light romantic comedy. Paul Schneider directs this off beat story of an overly plump cosmetician(Ricki Lake) falling in love with a solidly built subway conductor(Craig Sheffer) who happens to already be spoken for. He is more than willing to spend part of the Christmas season with her while his fiancee is out of town. Are his feelings for real or just pity? There is that little something about this movie that makes you take inventory of your own insecurity and doubts.

This movie was actually pretty good. Let's all remember to judge it by the standards in the time period in which the film was made! It was a bit anti-climatic at the end but Craig Sheffer and Ricki Lake were sweet to watch together. It you watch this movie as the light entertainment it is, I think you'll really like it!

I thought this movie was sweet, and one of the few projects Ricki Lake appeared in that she can be proud of. This movie shows how not to judge a book by it's cover, and that you can love someone and be loved back no matter what size you are or what you look like. A sweet, gentle romantic comedy with a fine script and good acting.

I just really loved this movie. It has been a relief that someone is really out there for anybody, regardless of what you look like. I think I like this movie because it pertains to me so much. I feel other people who have put down overweight people and those who are overweight should watch this movie.It has a really good lesson to this story. It is that no matter what you look like, in the end, someone will love you for you. I recommend this movie to everyone who loves tearjerkers.
