Seemed to be alittle long winded. I guess I just dont get the artsy films that use silent expression for everything they are trying to convey. I think straight forward films are better. Instead of showing me a kid sitting by the lake with clouds, show me what the parent if doing to make him or help him lose the weight. This film leaves me more questions then answers as I still dont understand how he got up to 250 pounds. I guess it doesnt matter what happen but I go back to what why it happen.Also why do they have to make the father Joel so inept and then they made everyone around him way smarter in contrast. If this was filmed in a reverse lense i.e the father Joel being black and the doctor being white. We as the public would only hear the cries of racism, yet there is a role reversal so it's ok that this is happening.
