Fat Kid Rules the World

Jacob Wysocki

Shy fat kid is befriended by a scuzzy hustler dropout who recruits him into a punk band.

Truly terrible. Very broadly played...from the degradations the lead suffers at high school to the shitty music they end up making together. This was like a bad comic book compilation of cliches involving put-upon teens.

The novelty of a fat kid as lead is long past (cf Heavy). To succeed as a film you actually have to come up with something clever...or at least interesting.
