The fat suit Ryan Reynolds wears in Just Friends is just one of many things wrong with that movie

Regarding fat suits in movies, I've been thinking about the subgenre of the sneaky fat suit. I'm talking about times when a fat suit is on a tertiary character or only used to lazily convey, well, laziness or evil or whatever other negative character trait they want to ascribe to us. It's one thing for me to avoid a movie like The Whale or Shallow Hal, but sometimes I feel like fat suits are flying at me any old time! The recent Renee Zellweger movie The Thing About Pam is a good example. From pictures I've seen online of the real Pam and the movie's stylized version of her, the only thing I can think they were trying to convey was "being a midwesterner." I can assure everyone in Hollywood that we have all sizes of people in the midwest, and a Mizzou sweatshirt would have telegraphed plenty for the audience.

i have been listening to the four buttcasts on repeat - i will continue to do so until my phone melts and try to restrain my need for more butt content.

this is not a fat suit movie (i don't think) but i'd love your review of heavyweights

Fat Suit Follies feels right, though I'm more drawn to Fart Attack on a cerebral level. Also if you're wanting to do a stop in Cleveland I have good places to book you and a cool guest room and a pool and you can feel free to just consider it done. I know all the fats and will bring all the fats.

I am so excited that a tour is even a remote possibility- if you come to Chicago I am there with bells on! Fat Suit Follies gets my vote, or maybe Fat Suit Suite.

I could connect you with the University of Alaska Fairbanks if you wanted to do the tour in Alaska!
