Uma Rainha Diferente

Sinopse

Maggie Baker (Blonsky) is an overweight 17-year-old girl in a suburban town in South Carolina who suffers being taunted and ridiculed at school and badgered to lose weight by her overbearing mother (Annie Potts) who is worried she will get Diabetes mellitus like her late father. Maggie and her mother are estranged and do not get along. The movie starts by showing what Maggie goes through every day at school. We discover that her best friend Casey (Lily Holleman) is not as unpopular as Maggie due to her relationship with one of the popular guys. Casey is invited to a party by the boy and accepts the invite on the premise that Maggie is allowed to come as well. The popular boys cringe but don't say anything. At the party Casey is dragged away by her sort of boyfriend, leaving Maggie alone to be laughed at by the preppy clique, including Liz (Liz McGeever), a very hated but feared girl at school. Liz is the mean girl who bullies Maggie in high school.
