SKINOPSIS

Slim-bodied Karen Colston gives a quick look at her bush and a better look at her tits as she gets into bed with her man, but the real highlight is this nutso fatty who hangs out in a treehouse completely naked and covered in dirt, shooting piss and throwing debris at everybody who wants her to come down. Of course, the treehouse can't support her numerous jelly rolls and the whole thing crashes down leaving her bloody and giving us a glimpse of her dirty bush. A chubby chasers dream come true!
REVIEW
First-time director Campion's spellbinding drama follows the story of Kay (Colsten), a highly superstitious and emotionally repressed cafeteria worker whose once-blissful but slowly disintegrating relationship with a handsome coworker is further rattled when her unpredictable sister Sweetie shows up on her doorstep. Mentally unstable and possibly schizophrenic, the ill-tempered Sweetie destroys Kay's routine; and when their parents show up, it's a virtual free-for-all. As Sweetie, Lemon gives a devastating performance.
