Reviews

Large received mixed reviews from critics upon its release in 2001. While some praised the film for its authentic portrayal of self-acceptance and personal growth, others criticized it for its lackluster execution and overly simplistic approach to its themes. Rotten Tomatoes' critics consensus described it as 'a heartwarming tale that falls short of making a lasting impact.' Despite the negative reviews, some viewers appreciated the film's honesty and relatability, with IMDb users praising it for its realistic depiction of the struggles faced by many individuals in society. Metacritic's review highlighted the film's emotional depth but noted that it failed to fully explore its characters' complexities, resulting in a somewhat shallow narrative.
