A Big Love Story gets a kind mention in this piece about the Eugene International Film Festival! →
 
 

““A Big Love Story” is probably the most entertaining of all the features. It is a romantic comedy starring an overweight former football star who finds love.

If this were a Hollywood movie, he probably would find love after losing weight or undergoing some other transformation. But with an independent film, you get to see what happens when financial formulas are not informing artistic decisions.

The man does transform, but it’s summed up in illustrations after he finds someone to accept and love him as he is. Anyone who has struggled to change can relate to this lovable character, and it’s refreshing to watch a film with blemishes that mirrors real life a little better.

This film got 8.8 stars out of 10 on the Internet Movie Database, and under its alternate title, “Worth the Weight,” Variety gave it a decent review, although it points out the chances this will get a theatrical release are slim and none.

That is why you should go see it at the festival. Surely, different people will take away different messages, but I am fond of the universal one of self-acceptance.”
