To Be Fat Like Me

How many times have you heard the saying "It's what's on the inside that counts"? Well, 17-year-old Aly figures everyone buys into that expression like she did - till she goes from skinny to fat overnight!

Pretty, popular and athletic Aly has been banking on a softball scholarship as her ticket to college. But when a sports injury blows out her knee, the teen enters a documentary film contest in hopes of using the prize money for her education. Convinced that her overweight younger brother and mother use their struggles with weight as an excuse for everything wrong in their lives, Aly decides to go undercover wearing a fat suit and hidden camera to prove personality can outshine physical appearance. But this high schooler has no idea how harsh the world can be through a "fat" girl's eyes. Kaley Cuoco of "8 Simple Rules" and Caroline Rhea of "The Biggest Loser" star in this shocking exposé inspired by actual events.
