Miles Forman is one of millions of Americans whose dysfunctional upbringing paved the way for a life of inactivity, self-loathing and the burden of being overweight. Stunned by the notion that he could be fat for the rest of his life, Miles Forman exposes himself with gritty resolution and a sense of humor in his last ditch effort to win the battle of the bulge. Inspiration arrives. Action follows. As he peels off the pounds with the help of fitness guru Mike Manno, we discover why the odds are against us, why quick-fix fad diets don’t work and some startling facts and figures about the $40 billion dollar a year diet industry. FATBOY started out as a mission. It became Miles Forman’s salvation.

“This is a clever and funny quest to lose weight, while is also tender in its exploration of the family dynamics that perhaps made Forman all the man he is.” A Priceless gem that Should not be missed.” FITNESS Magazine
“What ends up on screen is a heartfelt yet humorous roller coaster ride along with some hysterical laughs provided by Wrestler Mike Mannos.” MIAMI HERALD
“The goods that make for a great movie including Mike Manno (ex-Wrestler as the personal trainer) is hysterical. Think Richard Simmons meets Gene Simmons.” RAG Magazine
“FATBOY is really funny, entertaining and moving.” Patrick Ricketts, Video Views
“Holy Crap, I laughed my ass off!” Ain’t It Cool News
“A warm, endearing portrait of the human spirit…who am I kidding. Totally funny look at a colorful loser who hires a former Wrestler to turn him into a babe magnet!” Film Threat
