Wonderful character development!
Clarissa Mora
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Stephanie
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Cheryl
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Lately I've been feeling like I may just be too old to enjoy teen drama shows. But after watching all 10 episodes of Huge in a week, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is not my age but simply the mediocre nature of most shows aimed at teenagers.Like most ABC Family series, Huge never got on my radar, but when I learned recently that "My So-Called Life" creator Winnie Holzman had made another series a few years ago I had to check it out.It's a wonderful show, characters are complex, and the show reflects the emotional turmoil and poor decisions of teenagers without being soapy. While many series tend to create teen stereotypes, I believe in this group of people. And I found it fascinating to see the way people who were, in normal life, all outsiders, create cliques and ultimately do to others what was normally done to them. Nikki Blonsky was excellent as the rebellious Will, Gina Torres did a terrific job of creating a complex character uncomfortable in her own skin, and really, everyone in the cast was very good.It's a shame this show was canceled. It was exactly the sort of intelligent, nuanced TV that there is not enough of in this world.

This show is one of the first from ABC Family that I have truly enjoyed and related to! I think everyone can relate to this show in someway, everyone has felt like an outcast at some point in their lifetime and this show has a way of making you feel better about yourself. I was very disappointed today when I found out it was canceled, I was REALLY looking forward to seeing it again. I cannot believe that a show with this much honestly and substance was canceled, when a ridiculous show like "Secret Life" which gives girls and teens unrealistic expectations about EVERYTHING is still running. I really had high hopes for this show, hopes that it would help all teens and people realize that size is not what is important, it's what inside that matters. Not to mention Ian's song in the talent show episode, which was absolutely amazing and inspiring. ABC family, you really dropped the ball letting this wonderful show go.

This show has a wonderful cast of young, talented actors that portray their characters in some of the best ways possible. I have enjoyed every episode of Huge so far. I love how real all aspects of this show are, I can identify and relate to the characters really well. "Huge" deserves a chance to show its viewers great entertainment for seasons to come. I can't wait to see what's in store for these characters!! Each one has a diverse story that keeps me coming back week after week. This is one of the freshest shows I have seen on television for awhile, there is nothing else like it on TV. I am really surprised this show is the first role for some of these young actors. They are great at what they do, and really make you feel for the things they are experiencing on the show. If you've not checked "Huge" out yet, you can watch episodes on ABCFamily.com. You will not be disappointed.

I have to say the reason I like this show is because it's a lot more real than half the stuff on TV today and not nearly as annoying. Secret Life, for example, just makes me fume. It's a totally unrealistic portrayal of teenagers. Hannah Montana, Sonny with a Chance and Jonas are all shows about famous people trying to lead normal lives? How many of us can actually relate to that? But Huge is a real show about real kids with real problems. Weight is a rising issue in the United States and also something of concern among teens and their peers especially when we live in a society so obsessed with a certain image. Huge brings to light what those with weight issues may be feelings. And even those who are at a healthy weight probably have other image issues that they're not happy with that would make this a show they would enjoy. But the show also goes out of its way to highlight that these are also normal teenagers who get crushes, hook-up, LARP and everything else in between. It's just an all around enjoyable show.It's has a bit of drama. It's funny, it has its romantic bits. It also has lots of different characters. Everyone can have their favorite and it's an enjoyable show that makes Monday nights good again. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely worth checking out.
