Great job doing it all yourself :) very nice story and all, hilarious costumes :), not sure exactly what the FAD was, losing weight? But well done and good luck getting any prizes :)

great characters, stereotypes are always funny and you seem to have a gift for them. great use of cliché love scenes! and I didn't actually expect you to have a "5.7 metre grand piano"!! so that was funny too. the fad didn't tie in very well with the story which made the ending feel unsatisfying. would have suited rom-com better. your camera work was surprisingly good though so well done on ridin' solo!

An honest, overweight man joins a weight-loss programme so that he can win the affections of the receptionist where he works. After achieving this he finds love with another - a concert pianist and they look to take their relationship to new heights. All the parts (Cast and crew) were performed by one guy who did a terrific job. Eye lines were good for the split screen/double up shots and although sound was a bit variable at times, it all came out pretty well. Used a plane, found a 7.5 metre grand piano, spoke at a Sth Canterbury Sports function - awesome. The connection to the fad was a bit weak but the story in general engaged the audience. Nice work!

Very very very funny film. Loved the fact that it was all done by one man. Great one-liners in a very strong script. I would have rated this film higher but didn't like the rapid change in plots. From losing weight, to getting the girl, then swapping girl again made the film drag slightly, but still backed up with good one-liners. Thumbs Up!

Really liked this film, found the one man idea great & had lots of funny parts, loved the 2 running toward each other was classic, agree Genre FAD got lost, not sure swapping girlfriend then flying off for 10 min to see large piano to then have to rush back for weigh-in.

This one got a massive reaction from the audience and it was well deserved. A number of different locations, costumes and characters - all from the one guy, including a plane trip. Must have been a hell of a weekend! Had a well thought out plot and was technically pretty good as well. Very enjoyable.
