A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Weight Watchers does everything to be able to identify the factors that make people overeat. Weight Watchers tries to think of ways to help people watch their habits and the 'triggers' that make them reach for food when caloric intake for the day is already enough.It would be natural for Weight Watchers to have a presence in Prime Time TV, showing these situations with wit and wisdom, featuring talented actors. Too late! It's already been done. 'Fat Friends' looks at the lives of characters and spins stories that make food not a villain but understandably comforting when stress has reached a certain level. In short, it's what everyone at a WW meeting can relate to. Not by accident, every episode seems to have a 'weigh-in' at a group meeting. Ding! Ding! Ding! This familiar ritual is not the WW meeting and weigh-in of the sensitive sympathetic crowd. The leader is a stern taskmaster - that's the British twist to the dieting weekly check- in.All the actors are good, the writing is funny and insightful. I particularly liked hearing a young James Corden explain that he needs to be 'big.' Well worth watching if you can see it on amazon instant video. It's probably also available on DVD.

I watched the first show of each series just to see and what a waste of time. The girl from Emmerdale she was fat so yeah she should be in fat friend but no one every lost weigh.Like Itv made a big mistake with this.Bad Girls is 100times better.I feel that the whole show was just about large people trying to loose weight but never did then they tried to have love storyline oh my god what a a waste of time and also air time. This show has not been repeated on ITV2/3/4 yeah thats how good it is.I would say do not by th box sets just a waste of money.BEWARE

A comedy about fat people. Trying to lose weight. Well done ITV for commissioning such utter degrading trash.People who have weight problems seriously don't need this kind of ridicule - there are far too many people in the UK and around the world either trying to lose weight when they don't need to (anorexics), or are a bit too big.This programme only perpetuates ignorance and greed at the base level. Yet another ITV programme which makes fun of people with problems.

Great cast make this very funny satire on the obsession to lose weight. The great thing about this series is that it does not present fat people as pathetic trying to mock them but as normal people which one can identify with. If you like good comedies, Don't miss!
