Plot

An overweight singer is tired of being mocked about her appearance and dreams of love and fame. But will having cosmetic surgery fix her problems – or create new ones?

Sinekatalog’s take

A singer remakes her looks in a bright romantic comedy that mixes humor, music and heart. Its message about appearance is mixed, but the lead is winning. Light, catchy entertainment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
