Fatboy and Twintub

2000 • Directed by

Clair Breton

Winsome and stylish love story charting the ups and downs of a young couple in love.

Irish writer-director Clair Breton's winsome and stylish little love story is the very model of a women's webfilm - a kind of click-chick-flick. Fatboy and Twintub celebrates one of those love-hate relationship where the girl is either screaming "Don't TOUCH me!" or "Do you KNOW how much I love you." Naturally, since this is film, her boyfriend sticks around, rather than bolting for the pub at the first pout. Fiona Glascott, an actress with illegal amounts of charm, manages to make our heroine look fascinatingly mercurial rather than a bunny-boiler. Teamed with a tub of Chunky Monkey and the regulation Chardonnay, it'll ease the pain of broken-hearted female viewers everywhere. (Kate Stables - the Guardian)
