Jennie Cragg (Rebel Wilson) is an overweight girl who lives in Boonelg with her morbidly obese mother Berenice, who is now confined to her living-room chair. Her Aunty Cassandra’s gay husband has left her. Nick is the extremely good-looking neighbour, and Jennie's best friends are hypochondriac Nigella and the extremely religious Amy Lee.
