The life of an overweight, unhappy cook is changed after a kind, beautiful college drop-out comes to work as a waitress at his and his mother's road-side restaurant.
[SPOILERS] As the synopsis mentions, an overweight, unhappy cook gets some joy in his life when a beautiful young lady named Callie (Liv Tyler) starts working at his mother's restaurant.
This kept me interested, but I didn't feel like it went anywhere. His mother died, and he didn't tell anyone... That didn't really matter. The fact that she was gone leading to him having more responsibility with the business didn't really come into play. His weight concerns didn't end up mattering. Then there is the ending with him meeting someone. What happened previously that made that happen? Was there character development that allowed him to meet a woman? I didn't see it.
I don't know if this was the intention, but at times when he was with Callie, the music was intense and the mood created made it seem like something wild was about to happen, only for it never to happen. I also found Victor, the main character, mute like qualities annoying. Speak, Man!!! 2.5-3/5.
