Hugely enjoyable Australian comedy about an overweight, unhappy and lonely 22-year-old, fed up with being the butt of many jokes, running off to find love and happiness.
This sleeper hit found a huge audience when it was released in the UK and launched the career of its lead actress, Toni Colette, who appeared in bigger budget Hollywood features not long after.
