An overweight attorney has tried every sort of diet to shed some pounds but his love of food is so great that he just can't help himself stuffing his mouth at every opportunity. His wife is at her wits end worries that Billy's weight will kill him so she tries her best to encourage him but one night while driving home she tries to take him mind away from the foot by showing her flute playing skills distracted by the tunes she is playing
Billy doesn't see a gypsy woman cross the street until its too late and he hits and kills her. The gypsies father puts a curse on Billy that he will lose rapid weight until he dies after his friend the judge and chief of police rig the inquest in Billys favour in turn both of those men are infliced with different curses but all three will cause death. Billy must now call in as many favours as he can to find the gypsy that put the curse on him as he is the only one that can remove it before it rips him and his family apart.
I really easy and fun watch the whole concept is great yes the fat suit looks pretty lame at times but that never really come into it once you get used to looking at it. Billy himself is a really likeable character he is very friendly and timid and even when the s**t hits the fan he is still the same no fake heroics or suddenly becoming Rambo thats what makes him so believable as a character the lust for revenge does creep in but again a very believable evolution giving the circumstances.
Solid acting great story some great gory moments all round a great film.
