Preview: Lbs. (2010)

Synopsis:

Sick of his food addiction, an 315-lb man moves out of his parent's house and into the woods to hopefully get himself away from that which taunts him and perhaps lose a little weight in the process.

• Poster: D+

Review:

The quickest way to turn a potential viewer off is to show them this poster. Without knowing what the film's about, most people will take one look and turn away and never look back.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

The first few frames of the trailer give the impression that we're looking at a documentary, but very quickly we realize this is a dramatic interpretation of the struggle of so many overweight people trying to come to terms with their bodies and that which causes them to over eat.

Oscar Prospects:

None
