Living Large

Život k sežrání

Like most 12-year-olds, Ben’s life is filled with his many passions. At home, he’s a true gourmand, cooking up elaborate meals for himself and his mom. At school, he’s a charmer who’s always ready with a quick one-liner. After school, he fronts a rock band with his friends and video chats with his dad. But when the school nurse sends him home with a note about his weight, being well-rounded takes on new meaning. The bullies at school who tease them only make matters worse—in front of his crush, no less! Ben’s parents encourage his healthier habits, though Grandma has her doubts, and his friends just want him to focus on the upcoming talent show. He’ll need to quiet all the voices but his own in order to find out what truly matters to him. Living Large has all of the hallmarks of a classic teen comedy, right down to a cafeteria food fight and a wardrobe malfunction at the local pool. But this quietly empowering film takes its Freaks and Geeks vibes to new depths with cleverly animated characters and an original soundtrack (hip-hop! moody rock!) that captures the ups and downs of growing up.
