    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Survival of the fattest...

    Definately one of the comedies of 2007 so far !!!, O.K. you might accuse it of possibly not being groundbreakingly unique, but this is a real laugh out loud, fantastically funny, look at winning and losing in love, and the lengths (and humiliations) the male will go to, to claim that certain 'one'.. After a huge false start, Pegg (as Dennis) is on a race against time to turn Chubby into hubby... can it be done, well we can all probably sort of guess from frame one, but how it gets there and the whole mish mash of characters we meet on the journey is well worth the trip. If you are looking for something to guarantee to put a smile on your face you won't fail with this one, an excellent bit of fun, I loved it. Highly Recommended.
