Watch Overfed & Undernourished For Free

Awesome Movie

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I don't understand the 2 low rated reviews here. This is a great little documentary giving us a peek into the lives of one family trying to support a young man suffering from obesity. Liam weighs 80kg and he himself is aware that if he doesn't make changes he will die at a young age. His uncle - a health professional, and his aunt, agree to take Liam into their home and guide him through a very tough period. Educating him on healthy eating and regular exercise. The movie also shows that your emotional wellbeing very much plays a part in your overall health. Liam works his arse off.... there are hiccups along the way which anyone trying to change their way of life can relate to. The review claiming his Uncle and Aunt are cruel must have been watching a different movie! They told him he IS awesome and that he just needed to believe in himself... this was at a time when he was tired and hating himself, his Aunt knew he had more to give. Hello?? Anyone done a PT session? Some people need a push! I think they are amazing people to care so much about him that they turned their own lives upside down to help Liam. I can't imagine how incredibly grateful Liam must be. I think he's incredibly brave and should be so proud of himself. Eye opening and moving.

"Overfed & Undernourished" is an Australian documentary about the negative impact of bad eating habits on our lives and our health. It centers around Liam, a young obese boy, who tries to lose weight and become healthier by changing his diet and his lifestyle in general. On his way, he is supported by his aunt and uncke and several people who try to make people more sensitive for this topic.I absolutely believe that there's a lot of truth in this film. A lot of the things we wat today is crap and with some easy changes we could all make a step towards a more healthy and appropriate life. Unlike some of he other reviewers, I do believe that Liam needed help on his way and it is naive to think that such a change of habits could take place without any conflicts. However, at several points people in this documentary exeggerate their quest to a point that is simply no longer based on scientific facts. Not every health issue is linked to nutrition, that's just nonsense and you really don't have to be perfect to lead a more or less healthy life. If you eat a burger or drink a can of soda it won't kill you, if you regularly base your diet on those things is where the problem starts. At the end of the day a part of health is also satisfaction and while some people find it in a very healthy lifestyle that doesn't include any processed food, others might not and as long as they take care of themselves that should be their choice as well.All in all the documentary raises some very important questions and reflects on how careless we risk our health through obesity and bad food. Unfortunately, many people included seem to be more on a mission than interested in a neutral look on the topic and at some points that can be quite disturbing.

...under the guise of making Liam "healthy" were absolutely brutal to this kid. The "Aunt & Uncle" in this documentary are absolutely horrible human beings. They told him if he ran fast he could be "awesome". What does that tell him? You aren't awesome.I CANNOT BELIEVE these self-righteous people would treat ANYONE that way, let alone treating a family member that way. I'm absolutely speechless the mental/emotional damage that Liam's family did during this documentary. I'm sure that we didn't see the worst of it. Why don't these people tell stories about people like Bob Harper. Bob is/was the "trainer" on the NBC show The Biggest Loser who recently had a heart attack. Stop telling these kids that without eating "perfectly" and without "working out/exercising" you are worthless. When asked if he wanted to adhere to the rules on what he called "Veggie Island" that he could go home. His Aunt and Uncle want him to be what he isn't or they don't want him.Pieces of s* * t!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. You aren't "role models", you are self righteous tyrants.Good luck Liam. I'm afraid these "adults" in your life, who are supposed to be doing good things for you have done irreversible damage to you. I hope you don't end up in prison or a mental institution, but I'm afraid the die has been cast for your life. When you are old enough to decide where you go or who you associate with, realize that the two adults that were in this documentary DO NOT have your best interest in mind. They have a ridiculous mental image of the perfect little robot and you don't want that and don't deserve that.Again Liam, best of luck!
