Some Freaks

Some Freaks is a 2016 American film written and directed by Ian MacAllister-McDonald and starring Thomas Mann, Marin Ireland, and Lily Mae Harrington.

[1] A romantic drama, it follows the romance between Matt, a one-eyed high school teenager falling in love with an overweight classmate, Jill.

Jill is punk and overweight at 250 pounds, Matt comes from a poor background and only has one eye, wearing a skin-colored eyepatch, and Elmo, who is short and unattractive, is gay.

When Matt and Jill begin to date and explore their teen sexuality, Elmo feels even more isolated.

Elmo is still in the closet and secretly admires Justin, a basketball player from high school that he had a crush on, who goes to his college.

This culminates in Matt attempting to trick Jill into eating carb-loaded and fatty foods and then trying to force-feed her when she refuses.

Back in Rhode Island, Matt and Elmo attend a "Boys Will Be Girls" themed costume party.
