My Thoughts On The Fat Boy Chronicles
Inspired by a true story, The Fat Boy Chronicles reveals the emotionally painful world obese teens experience in the face of a thin-obsessed society. At age fourteen. 5’5 Jimmy weighs 187 pounds. Outside the comfort of his family and church, life for Jimmy is a constant struggle. The cruel taunts of his classmates make going to school or playing sports a humiliating experience. Yet, he still manages to focus on his goals — to lose weight and win over the girl of his dreams
The Fat Boy Chronicles originally started as a book and now this heart touching movie. I watched this movie with a few co workers and we all really enjoyed the story. It was kind of corny in some parts but had a message to individuals of all ages, there are worse things in life … and you’re not the only one struggling. Everybody is fighting their own battle, whether you see it or not. The Fat Boy Chronicles is a movie I am defiantly going to sit down and watch with my two older boys! I count this as a must see.
