Happy Fatties

About This Movie

So, 'Happy Fatties' is this quirky 2010 comedy that explores the world of youth sports through a rather unique lens. It’s got this light-hearted vibe, but there’s a certain warmth in how it captures Esa's relationship with his dad. The pacing feels a bit off at times, maybe a little slow in parts, but it gives the film a chance to breathe. When Esa bumps into Elvis, it’s like this charming twist that really brings out that theme of idolization, which you don’t often see in sports comedies. The performances are surprisingly genuine, especially Esa’s, which helps ground the more outlandish moments. Practical effects? Not much here, but the real charm lies in its oddball characters and their interactions.

Quirky comedy with a heartfelt father-son dynamic. · Explores themes of idolization and youth sports. · Uneven pacing but charming character interactions.
