BECAUSE SHE GETS US. This is a really good movie. You do not understand what it is like to be in our bodies. An extremely small, tiny number of fat people are able to lose weight and keep it off. Imagine being an alcoholic, but you must drink at least once drink a day in order to live, or you are addicted to meth or some other hard drug and again must have some of it every day to live. That's what we face. Anyway, Butter is just a very nice, heartfelt, yet fairly realistic movie in a lot of ways, that is a great reminder to normies that we fats may be gross but that we are still humans and we have feelings and dreams and should be treated with some small amount of respect and dignity. The difference between us and you is that our major defect is visible to everyone and can't be hidden. The actor who plays Butter is great. Mira Sorvino, I thought at first was not at her best, but as this seems like a teenage/young adult film, she is portraying awkwardness on purpose, because many kids see their parents as out of touch, and can only deal with their kids in an awkward way. The Prof character is very cool and is the adult who most understands Butter. I think this should be part of health class required viewing for 8th or 9th graders.
