Food truck festival!!
Burp!! (I'm in love)

I loved all the references, they were all talking to me (ninja turtles, star wars, karate kid)
I loved the way classism, fatphobia and racism were handled

It's really sweet. The only thing that keeps me from the 5 stars is that halfway through it felt a bit dragging, at 63% I couldn't imagine what compelling stuff would happen to keep me going. Something did happen a bit later on, but that slow feeling stuck for a while.
