Plot: Billy Halleck, a 300-pound lawyer, kills a gypsy due to his negligent driving. But thanks to some false evidence, the judge lets Halleck go. However, the deceased's father, a 109-year-old gypsy king, takes justice into his own hands by putting a horrible, ironic curse on the obese man. Soon, through no effort of his own, Billy becomes thinner. And thinner. And thinner. While this seems like a godsend at first, the hex put on Billy quickly becomes a living nightmare -- with no end in sight...

 ...steady viewing with good make-up effects by Greg Cannom, okay acting and a downbeat tone; but what makes this a somewhat disappointing time is that despite a handful of decent moments this can't rise above its flaws of having a lead character who's mostly a jerk and the fact the movie has a really big mean-streak running through it.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
