A Matter of Size is the hit Israeli comedy that has been playing to packed houses and rapturous laughter at film festivals around the world. Nominated for 13 Israeli Academy Awards including Best Picture, the film is "ludicrously funny" (Variety) and "hilarious" (MTV). With echoes of The Full Monty in both its blue-collar setting and its themes, A Matter of Size is a tender and funny look at an overweight chef and his three friends from the small Israeli city of Ramle as they abandon their weight-loss group and decide instead to pursue sumo wrestling. The result is a simultaneously sweet, funny, touching and relatable story of self-acceptance and determination. A feel-good favorite of the festival circuit, A Matter of Size has already been picked up for a Hollywood remake by the Weinstein brothers.
