Description
All Bernie Fishbine wants in life is to meet the perfect mate. Ordinarily one wouldn’t think this would be a problem because he’s the ideal boy-friend for any girl, he’s loveable, sweet and considerate, but he’s also a little chubby. Everyday he wakes up in the Philadelphia apartment he shares with his neurotic mother Sarah Fishbine and his belligerent grandfather “Gramps”. One particular night he meets Tress Garabaldi at the bus stop. She’s a beautiful Italian-American graduate student. Soon they are getting to know each other and Tress even offers to help Bernie get into shape. Bernies feelings for Tress grow, but while she finds Bernie nice, her real intention is to use him as a research subject of her graduate thesis paper, “The Psychological Study of an Obese Male”. But, her plan is foiled after she starts to fall for Bernie’s humour, sweetness and depth
