Shy, obese teen Angus Bethune (Charlie Talbert) lives with his 18-wheeler-driving mom (Kathy Bates) and oddball grandfather (George C. Scott).

Audience Reviews for Angus

  • Nov 08, 2011
    Summary: A fat, socially awkward, good-at-science kid and his story of getting the girl of his dreams to at the very least, notice him. Sounds typical, right? Well this one is good. The Good: The characters, Angus in particular, is actually interesting and someone you can actually care about. I also liked how the pushed the idea that no one is normal, and I love some of the things that Angus says. Very witty. Good soundtrack too. The Bad: It kind of follows the same formula for these type of movies but I feel that this one is different in a way. Ratings: Acting: 9/10 Story: 6/10 Originality: 6/10 Soundtrack: 9/10 Characters: 9/10 Overall: 8/10
