Will those who are overweight see this film's message as empowering or demeaning. The food jokes appear to supply most of the 'comedy' alongside the heroine's weight. Titled "Blubberella," this is one movie that may finally put director Uwe Boll in the spotlight, at least temporarily. Although this movie won't be seen on a wide scale (straight to video is its likely fate), it will be interesting to see what even the limited audience captured by this movie ultimately thinks of it. The German director, famous for low budget films mostly based on video games, has made a movie that introduces the world's first female fat superhero. But even a straight to video film begs. The only available footage is the recently released trailer, but based on Boll's previous body of work, this film will likely be decidedly lacking in story or subtlety. The trailer seems to imply that the only plot is one where Blubberella somehow defeats Nazis through endless eating, and the occasional shooting of guns.

That being said, those looking for an obese role model will almost predictably be disappointed as this will probably not be a fat empowerment movie by any measure.
