This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

My Big Love tells the story of an obese man's struggle to get back into shape in order to bring back his estranged girlfriend. In the process he falls for his trainer and the latter develops feelings for him too.The movie is a total train wreck, just by the movie concept alone. What is this, Million Dollar Baby plus Nothing Hill? Honestly, they have the nerve to actually say this is an original screenplay. This is nothing but a movie with a copycat concept.Acting was poor. Poor is still a meiosis. Toni Gonzaga did have some improvement after her stupid performance in You Got Me, but it still looks like she's just blurting out lines. Sam Milby here acts like Toni's fat gay friend who's giggly all over her like he just spotted some cute guy instead of acting as the guy. Kristine Hermosa is definitely the better actress here.Makeup is also poor. I know they want to make Sam Milby look fat, but honestly, it doesn't convince me. The prosthetics were used wrongly and instead of making him look fat he looked more like the white robot from a Japanese TV series. You know, the one made of circles and takes the form of the villains.The movie is just so stupid. Honestly, I would have appreciated if Krstine Hermosa's character here was the ultimate b-character but no, she lets Sam go and hook up with Toni. So stupid.The movie may have been a good movie to some, but pardon my mouth. Those who find this beautiful have extremely bad taste. Acting is poor, the story's just like Million Dollar Baby and Nothing Hill combined, and the prosthetics are wrongly applied. Yet, they have the nerve to call this movie the blockbuster of the year? Movies like this mark the climax of the decay of Filipino cinema. Luckily independent films come to save the day.Final say? It's stupid, corny, and boring. Over hyping is the only thing that keeps this movie alive. Movies like this should be burned and shoved down the throats of bad-tasted fans who find this worthwhile.

First of all, I like to commend Star Cinema for having an alternative protagonist. But the premise of the film puts down that "alternative". The film basically shows the greed in people's lives on wanting to be thinner to be loved. Much of the film is completer rip-off to films such as Just Friends and the-oh-so praised 200 Pounds of Beauty.The story tells a guy wanting to be "fit" to be liked by the girl he likes, who is disgusted at him. He hires a female trainer, who unwittingly falls in love with him. Trainer leaves, and returns to see the then-fat guy with the girl of his dreams. The story itself has become pointless, forced and far-fetched after the first 45 to 50 minutes.Kristine Hermosa has shown more acting in her supporting role here than any other roles she's done, I commend her. I still don't get it why Star Cinema loves the Toni Gonzaga-Sam Milby tandem, please...I just feel sorry for Jade Castro, who made the heartbreaking Endo, because of this film. Why? She had the top-executives of Star Cinema breathing down her back to match up to GMA Films' B.F.G.F.
