Wicked, endearing social satire with a camp and humorous touch.

Ever since childhood, overweight Annie Stamper has been in love with Spencer Noble, the best-looking boy in school. But how could he ever fancy someone like her?

Now both in their thirties, Annie is stunned when he asks her to marry him. Leaving Chesterfield for his smart house in London seems like a dream come true, but the reality is otherwise. Spencer seems distant, preoccupied, sexually unresponsive . . . and who is that handsome airline steward he is so keen to usher out of sight?

Meanwhile, successful lawyer Marla Philips is being hounded by an anonymous stalker who seems to know every detail of her life, and, as this sinister persecution intensifies, Marla begins to wonder if she is going mad. At least for her ex-husband Lester things are looking up. This one-time teenage star and Oscar-winner is about to relive his moments of glory - maybe even giving up his purple pig costume worn in a children's telly show. But that's when his new wife deserts him for a career in porno . . .

As Annie confronts her loneliness, and Spencer his gayness, Marla her insanity and Lester the dole queue, we trace the lives and fortunes of these people riding on the hilarious, bittersweet rollercoaster of Simon Temprell's black comedy.
