This movie is hard to describe. The characters are rather unlikable. Mini is borderline crazy, if not completely so, and Fatso, for two/thirds of the movie, was rather blandly leaning towards being just mean. The story centers around weight loss, and while it does a good job explaining the hopelessness that being obese entails, it does little to actual connect emotionally to the viewer until the last third of the film in my opinion.
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.

I had been desperately trying to find this movie for a long time and finally watched it. I am a huge fan of horror romantic comedies, but this movie fell short for me. It was much more focused on the life of the main female character who just seemed to randomly have a vampire (or is he?) character around. The brief bits of romantic interaction with him were tantalizingly few in my opinion. The viewer is instead forced to observe family interactions and friend drama over a crappy guy instead. It was like it tried to do too much. It wanted to be a heartfelt family drama, or a personal growth story instead of embracing it's vampire theme.
The acting was generally bad also, except for the main female actress. The mysterious male lead was a cringefest.
I did finished it without too much struggle, and while the ending did give us some answers, it seemed to be starting a whole other story which we will never get to know about. I wouldn't recommend it to someone unless they are a huge vampire fan and I have no desire to rewatch it.
