Fat based movies ..

I liked Shallow Hal (at least the moral of it). Jason Alexander's character was annoying though.
Also, What's Eating Gilbert Grape.0 -
It's not a whole movie based on it, but I thought Jack Black's spoof trailers for "The Fatties", cameoed in "Tropic Thunder" were hilarious.0

someday. . .MAYBE someday, there'll be a movie with a fat central character that doesn't revolve around the fact that they're fat. Until then, I'll keep looking.
My Mad Fat Diaries is decent though (not a movie, a miniseries, you can youtube it!)0 -
Melissa McCarthy is doing really good as far as being over weight/obese and starting in lead/main rolls.
Identity Thief and The Heat.
Now, I haven't seen either one, but want to!0 -
Hairspray.0

An oldie but a goodie was "Fatso" with Dom DeLuise from back in 1980...0

I know it's only TV but when I was younger, Dawn French has been a bit of a trailblazer. In her comedy work, the joke wasn't about her being fat. In Murder Most Horrid, she played a variety of characters, all of whom (if I remember correctly) just happened to be overweight. I think some of those are on youtube.0 -
I believe if someone wrote the right script Melissa Mckarthy would
be a better success. She needs the right role is all. I love her on TV.0 -
