Preview: A Matter of Size (2010)

Synopsis:

Frustrated over his weight, a man and a group of overweight friends decide to bring Sumo to Isreal in order to learn to accept who they are.

• Poster: C

Review:

Nothing terribly interesting or inventive here, just a single photo and a title. It does tell the audience what they should expect, so I guess that's something.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

The idea is interesting, though it seems a bit familiar. The trailer tries very hard to position this as a independent foreign film hoping to draw the attention of the arthouse folk, which may well succeed. Amusing is at least in the film's vocabulary, which could help as well.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• April 1, 2010
