Watermelon

About This Movie

So, Watermelon is this quirky blend of comedy and romance from 2005 that dives into issues of body image and trust. Chika, the lead, really embodies the struggle of dealing with unwanted attention due to her, well, ample assets. It's interesting how the film balances humor while exploring her insecurities. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but that adds to its charm. You’ve got this sweet atmosphere as she meets a guy who seems genuinely interested in her as a person, not just her figure. The performances are pretty solid, and there's something uniquely relatable about Chika's journey. It's not your typical rom-com, which makes it stand out in a sea of similar titles.
