Liam is a child with weight problems coupled by the sudden loss of his mom. The movie only superficially explores Liam's feelings and personality, his reasons for overeating, while goes over and over on preaching the evil of modern alimentation, the benefits of eating natural and the righteousness of the couple of uncles pushing Liam to get fit. While Liam's father several times bring up the problem of the convenience of price and time in the "wrong food", specially as a single dad with 4 kids, the movie never explores his needs, trying to find a solution and a balance between the needs to eat and live healthy and the actual life. While the message is good and important, it get somehow lost in the preaching smug righteousness of the messenger. Such a pity!
