Size 'Em Up

About This Movie

Size 'Em Up is like a strange little time capsule of early 2000s teen angst mixed with body image discussions. The film follows Samantha, a high schooler grappling with her burgeoning figure and the way it affects her life. There’s this light-hearted tone, but it dives deeper into the awkwardness of adolescence, particularly around self-acceptance and societal pressures. The pacing feels quite typical of the era, with some charming yet clumsy humor sprinkled throughout. It’s not particularly flashy in terms of effects, but the performances, especially from the leads, bring a genuine warmth that makes it stand out from other teen flicks of its time.

Size 'Em Up hasn’t seen a wide release, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. It’s available mainly on limited VHS runs, which adds to its scarcity. The film has a niche appeal, particularly among those interested in early 2000s cinema and its approach to youth culture, but most copies are hard to come by. As it hasn’t been remastered or widely distributed, its rarity only amplifies the interest for collectors who appreciate the lesser-known titles from that era.
