Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fatso is a 1980 Black Comedy movie, written, produced, and directed by Anne Bancroft. It was the first film to be produced through her husband Mel Brooks' production company Brooksfilms.Dominick DiNapoli (Dom De Luise) is a middle-aged bachelor from a large Italo-American family who's favorite cousin has just died from obesity at the young age of 39. Both Dom and his family fear that his own love of food could soon send him down the same path and he vows to go on a diet... which proves easier said than done, thanks to both his own addictions and his extended immediate family's own hearty eating habits. Despite his best efforts and help from his relatives, he continues to fall off the wagon, to which his sister Antoinette (Bancroft) gripes "The more you try to help him, the worse he gets!" Things take a turn for the better when Dom meets and falls in love with a woman named Lydia (Candice Azzara), though his own insecurities continue to hold him back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ambiguously Jewish: Even though most of the characters are depicted as Roman Catholic, a number of them are played by Jewish actors... and it really shows. | |

Big Eater | |
| Fatso / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Not only does Dom personify this trope, it's his problem, and basically the whole plot point of the movie. And the support group "Chubby Checkers" aren't much help, either. | |
