  • Fatso is a 1980 American comedy film written and directed by Anne Bancroft and starring Dom DeLuise, Ron Carey and Candice Azzara.
    As the DiNapoli siblings -- Antoinette (Bancroft), Dominic (DeLuise), and Frank Jr. (Carey) - are growing up, whenever young Dom became upset by something, the one thing his mother did to comfort him was to feed him. This included giving him a cannoli after being urinated on by his baby brother as he's being changed. Because of this, Dom grew up with a love of food, a trait shared by his equally obese cousin, Salvatore (Sal).
    When Sal suddenly dies at age 39, the family grieves. This prompts Antoinette to urge Dom to visit a diet doctor to avoid his cousin's unhealthy eating habits and not drive himself into an early grave as well. Dom agrees to do so once he recognizes signs that obesity is ruining his health. Dom is heartbroken when given his new diet plan, seeing the long list of things he can no longer eat. When the diet fails, Dom's eating habits drive his sister crazy, so she enlists him in the "Chubby Checkers" support group.
    Meanwhile, Dom meets Lydia (Azzarra), who owns the town antique shop, and finds they have a lot in common. But being self-conscious about his weight, he fears rejection, and can't bring himself to ask her out.
    Now further depressed, Dom seeks comfort from his Chubby Checkers -- Sonny and Oscar (Richard Karron and Paul Zegler) -- who turn out to be of little help, as their reminiscing about favorite desserts and dishes drives them to having a pig-out party in the kitchen. To help their brother, Antoinette and Frankie bring together Dom and Lydia. While dating, Dom doesn't realize that he has been eating less and less, and is shocked to discover at how loosely his clothes fit in a matter of weeks.
    The film critic Peter Wu described the film as "A very humorous and yet serious movie about obesity," going on to write: "Maybe being overweight isn't the best thing for a person's health, but being one's self and being happy is all that really matters in life ... With a delightful blend of New York Italian culture and the human problem of overeating, Fatso makes for an entertaining movie experience. Loaded with some of the funniest comedy gags I have ever seen, Fatso is a very humorous and yet serious movie about a very touchy subject, Dom DeLuise!"
    This film was also reviewed in the psychiatric monograph "The Eating Disorders", which concluded that the film "... veers between comedy and pathos as a man discovers ... fat is the ... only sin in America." They approvingly note that, "The motivation for overeating and binge dieting are lampooned ... [and] medical consequences ... are elaborated in ... comedic fashion."
    The film marked a turning point in the lives of actors Richard Karon and Paul Zegler who played DeLuise's obese "Chubby Checker" support group members. Both actors lost large amounts of weight in the years subsequent to the making of the film.
    This film is a must see for anyone who loves very funny movies and /or has a weight problem!

    My dad took me to see this in the theater when I was four years old in 1980. I still remember it. Time is such a thief. I miss those days so much. So much has changed, I have lost a lot of people and I am only getting older. It’s crazy how a movie can bring back so many memories that were so long ago. 🥲😢

    This movie chronicles the struggle of a middle aged man to lose weight. I can so totally relate (especially when he is lying in bed bombarded by food commercials.) Good food is a primal pleasure that is hard-wired into our brains. The makers of cheap delicious eats are well aware of this, and use every trick in the book to make us crave their products. Anyway Dom Delouse gives a memorable performance, and some "food for thought" as we look at this common problem.

    This is a family favorite, particularly because we are of Italian descent. When I show this movie to non Italians, they do not see the humor we do. I have uncles that laugh uproariously over this movie and they are overweight! Anne Bancroft swearing at the corpse and ripping up the cake was great. So was when the Chubby Checkers all fell off the wagon and started binge eating.

      And with Dom Deluise as the star, it isn't hard. His parents were both first generation Italian immigrants and his love of food in real life is quite well established (check out the Eat This videos that he made during the 80s. They are on RUclips). He really made this movie work. The sad reality is that he did struggle with weight in real life and it did ultimately cause his death. At least he made it to 75 years old and didn't die super young.

    Dom DeLuise‘s performance was incredible. The only problem with this film was the tone. It kind of left you wondering whether it was a comedy or drama. The ironic thing is DeIuise was able to switch effortlessly regardless. I saw it when I was 9 and still love it’s charm.

    Wow. Binge Eating Disorder personified. This movie is SOOOO triggering for anyone like myself recovering from that. The close ups of all the food, was really tempting. Couldn't get over how you could buy 2 heaping bags of food for 40 bucks. These days at a Chinese restaurant, you order two or three small boxes it's at least 20!

      This movie has been a part of my Italian -American family for what seems like forever. A family get together is just not the same without us quoting this movie and of course eating. "You ate the "ony" and "I'm not eatin' it. I'm just smelling it!" "Fancul' you forgot!" and of course after the food binge with the Chubby Checkers..."Is there any of Antonette's pineapple peach preserves left? The pectin will settle my stomach"..I could go on and on, but this movie really is an underrated classic that so few people seem to even know exists...and 40 dollars of Chinese food isnt even a half a bag in 2018 money LOL.

    Thanks for the the upload Joe! I missed this in the theatre when it was first released and only saw a butchered version on broadcast TV a few years after, but seeing the entire uncut version made my day! It's a funny, bittersweet movie with a clear message; Dominick's weight problem was alleviated somewhat and kept in-check once he was in love and stopped worrying about it! There was a sitcom with Nell Carter in the 80's that ripped-off the "Chubby Checker" rescue/ food orgy scene. I have yet to try the jelly doughnut with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in the oven recipe but someday I'll get around to it!

It's one of my very favorite breakfasts. I make it all the time and think of this movie when I do. Lol, so weird. I loved Anne Bancroft in whatever she did. She was so underrated as an actor etc., except for the Miracle Worker (In my top 5 favorite movies). Miss her kind of genius still!

    Darn Anne Bancroft(born Anna Maria Italiano) really captures what being an Italian American in NYC is like. She definitley deserved better reviews for this her only directional effort. The part where she screams at Dom for eating part of the birthday cake is so real. Very very Italian. This movie is a beautiful touching combination of comedy and drama that should have been a big hit. Thankful people years later are discovering it.
