Norbit
The movie centers on a meek and lovable milquetoast who is married to an overbearing, overweight tyrant finds his life turned upside down when he meets the woman of his dreams and schemes to find a way to be with her.

Even if you go back decades, body fascism has rarely been so brazen, or so unfunny. Horrifying.
