Reviews
The last third of the film is rather touching, but doesn't really make up for the fact that I wasted 45 minutes watching the first part. I will say it does a good job showing how much hard work it is to lose weight, but it's timeline for that weight loss is completely ridiculous.
The end was satisfying, but completely cliché. I won't be watching this one again.

The story was fun, nothing mind blowing but very good, and the chemistry between the male and female lead is fantastic, I haven't laugh this hard in a long time, also the ending is one of the best endings i've seen, good job on that.
