| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA priceless reminder about the value of being able to accept yourself just the way you are without succumbing to the societal pressure to measure up to an unattainable, ideal body-type. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeA choppy, unfocused, intermittently compelling report on the tortured, fluctuating state of the national backside. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIf you're trying to lose weight, this movie will probably not help you , but it reflects the stories of a lot of our lives. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenDirector Darryl Roberts evokes heartfelt responses about America's obsession with dieting. |
| Los Angeles TimesMindy FarabeeNo doubt, we the people are due for some lifestyle changes, but the film glosses some of the trickier obstacles to better health. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterSelf-serving exaltations underscore Mr. Roberts's, well, slender charisma. (His narration is strikingly wit-, humor- and charm-free.) |
| Rincón de cineLaura Hiros[Director Darryl] Roberts does not take himself very seriously, but there are some interesting facts that will make you think. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallSelf-promoting physicians, shrinks, bureaucrats, and fashion models blather on about eating issues, yet Roberts glosses over the only real solution to weight gain: balanced nutrition combined with exercise. |
| User ReviewChelsea HFANTASTIC INFO!!! Think about only the content. The facts about needing a lifestyle change not just a diet. Eat fruits, veggies, grains and legumes, and eat as much as you want!!!! The recipes are endless. Be smarter than processed food!!! |
| User ReviewEliam MSi tienes, lo que la mayoria identifica como, sobrepeso, gordura, etc... te recomiendo este documental. Acabo de verlo en Netflix y es genial, sobre todo para aquellos que tienen un cuerpo de forma redondeada. El mismo pone en cuestión la relación de la salud con la obesidad y muestra como los intereses comerciales son los primeros causantes del stigma que tiene la sociedad con todo aquel que tiene sobrepeso. Muestra con entrevistas y estadisticas una realidad que siempre ha tratado de tergiversarse. ¡Puedes ser un gordo saludable o un flaco moribundo! |
