  • It's always ballet!! Damn!

  • omg, this would be such a horror, undressing in front of a doctor. I would never have done this, If I was her.

  • What a nutty family. "You never give us any trouble." No wonder that poor girl starved herself.

  • lol the dad's sarcasm makes me laugh xD

  • "you've never given us any trouble, thats why we love you so much"

    that is the most fucked up thing to say to their daughter

  • that wig on the double looks horrible. You can totally see the difference

  • casey looks like emma watson to me

  • @gnrqueen it takes me forever

  • I like how the video ends with "When was your last menstruation?" and she makes this weird face.

  • I don't like the doctor... :-/

  • her family's a bitch. EDs are usually influenced by family problems. i know mine is. i love my family but my little sister's terribly sick :(

  • i used to get "you better watch what you eat or you'll never get a boyfriend", "you'll never be thin enough" "don't get too fat"....can't believe the similarities...

  • this reminds me of my own extended family. SICK SICK SICK. they r the ones who increased my eating disorder

  • i didnt catch how much she weighed??

  • @sexya863254 it's one of those old, retarded scales that only stops the numbers at 100 pounds and starts over. so she weighed a little more than 100 lbs

  • "It's Thanksgiving, your mother goes to a lot of trouble to cook your favorite meal-" wait.....her favorite meal is Thanksgiving? What.

  • Comment removed

  • I can't watch this movie and not think to myself at one point "But...who would have sex with Gail?"

  • @GEhotpants101 terrible pornstache and a long yucky mullet and possibly rapist aviators? lol, imagine the child that resulted XD

  • @t3hgelar It would have hair to be feared.

  • who stands on the scale with shoes on?!

  • my parents are way more mean ...

  • I was beginning to think that this was going to be yet another stereotyped ed movie: the movie starts w/ her jogging, they focus on her being a perfectionist, the dance, the magazines, but then when the sister runs into her bathroom( like, doesn't she have her own?) & catches her weighing herself well, flashbacks. That happened to me, too! I hated my sis for that and she also screamed "Mom!" but instead of running out she ran toward the scale & took it.I was furious.

    That's a body double, btw.

  • @myprettypeace I don't think it's a body double. I read that she dropped down to 86 pounds to play this role.

  • @EdibleMoose Yeah, she did drop down to that weight, but honestly 86 lbs wouldn't look 8:03 thin. Throughout the film she looks the 86 lbs, but not when they just show "her" putting the nightgown on. If you notice right after when she's leaning on the door 8:24 she doesn't look as thin as when she's on the scale right after she puts the gown on 8:03-the gown looks huge on that body. Idk for sure, though. Minor observation.

  • @myprettypeace Yeah, you could be right. 86 pounds could look that small, depending on her height. I doubt she's taller than 5'6", though.

  • What ****** parents...

  • the way the sister says "look at your bones" was funny sounding

  • Her parents are such caricatures in this movie!

  • I can't even be angry at her. I know it's a mental thing. No matter disgusting her body may look to other people, all that matters to her is what she sees in the mirror and what the scale reads.

  • @gnrqueen, you don't have to drink a shit load of water.. maybe your just not good at it? it took me 30 seconds to get a shit load out..

  • In every ED movie they purge really quick,it takes them like 30seconds when in reality you have to drink shitton of water beforehand and the purging can last up to half an hour or even more.

  • @gnrqueen thats cuz nobody wants to sit there for half an hour watching someone throw up

  • @gnrqueen

    True, true but it is a relatively short film and if they were to accurately represent purging it would take up too much of the film time available. They need to get the point across and still have time for everything else in the story. :)

  • @gnrqueen so true

  • @gnrqueen its cause u cant focus a movie on a girl purging for like a half hour lol

  • @gnrqueen Not true.. Not how I do it.

  • her dad is an ass, really

  • i learned how to become bulimic from watching this film when it aired on tv....i was in high school and struggling to lose weight (since 6th grade). sadly, i was a pure bulimic from 14 to 25....i am now lap-banded and the band still makes me vomit food up at times... hard habit to break. : (

  • I LOVE watching these lifetime movies!!!!..GOD bless all who upload them:D

  • anorexia or bulimia is rarely about the food. it's usually something in the person's life that's making them act out that way

  • omg her parents are so discouraging it quite sad really =[

  • jennifer got down to 86 pounds for this role

  • Comment removed

  • her parents are twats

  • I hate her father, what a jerk !!!

  • Isn't that the dance teacher from "Fame"?? :O

  • Her parents are so twisted. If they werent so freaking tough on her she wouldn't have to resort to the self destructive behaviors. Oh and now all of a sudden Gail wants to step in and actually help someone else. God.

  • Your mother goes through a lot of trouble to cook your favorite food and you just sit and stare at the food.

    Yeah, yeah, right, right. It's all about the poor failure of a mom. How many of us have to put up with this type of mothers? So sick of em.

    And for once, Gail is actually doing the right thing. If she wasn't so self-centered (I bet that's because of the retarded parents too) she'd be a great sister.

  • "There are more important things in life...like being a good mother." What is this, the 1950's?

  • Wonder how they made this movie, with the effects on her if it was real or not.

  • @MsCittycat19 The actress, Jennifer Jason Leigh, dropped the weight to play the character, although some make up effects or body doubles were used in some scenes for age reasons. She has a petite body type so the weight she lost quickly gave her an emaciated frame- or a frame that could look thin. This film was actually used on eating disorder units in the 80's up to the mid 90's to try and dissuade girls from anorexia, this was before it was banned for inspiring them!!!

  • why are her parents such assholes?

  • why the hell is she purging with the door open

  • Her dad's a total dick.

  • her dad just screams the whole time! can someone please gag him so i dont have to listen to his shit! if i was that girl i'd be suicidal not anorexic

  • The main girl is so pretty.

  • He's such a bitch!

  • The parents are unrelentingly clueless. I guess you get bogged down in routine, but they're a product of bad parenting themselves. My parents were a lot like that, too. Dad always grousing, Mom just going through the motions, and when they did speak to me, it was little gems like "it wouldn't hurt for you to lose a couple of pounds" and "you're a good kid, keep being good so we'll love you" kind of stuff. I didn't go the ED route. I went the severe depression/OCD route.

  • As someone said on the first part, the main girl does kind of look like Emma Watson.

  • I hate the father!!!

  • That's got to be like an 8 year old with a wig cuz her face is way too full to have that skinny of a body.

  • that father's an asshole !

  • I love this movie, but who stands on the scale with shoes on?

  • Yeah I know they cant have her taking the full 20 mins or longer that it really takes a person, I used to be bulimic, I remember watching this the 1st time and thinking wow I wish it was that easy

  • Yeah I know they cant have her taking the full 20 mins or longer that it really takes a person, I used to be bulimic, I remember watching this the 1st time and thinking "wow I wish it was that easy"

  • Man she wears baggy clothes!

  • Who weighs themselves with their clothes on?

  • Her sister was right to tell their parents. Casey clearly needed help.

  • Her parents are so mean, they don't believe she can be a dancer...

    If your parents don't believe in you then who do you have?...

    That makes me sad...

  • @sofiamore Her mother obviously failed in being what she wanted to be so badly--a dancer. She resorted to being a mother (and a crappy one at that) so she could convince herself that she's not a failure; that motherhood is the only thing a woman is meant to accomplish and any other dream is just impossible for everyone. She can't let her daughter succeed because that would mean being a successful dancer IS possible, it just so happened that she's not good enough for it. And she can't take that.

  • @sofiamore agreed!

  • @sofiamore Yourself...my parents don't believe in me either and it is sad 

  • I think thats an anorexic double actress

  • @The80sTube According to her biography, that wasn't a double. She was medically supervised to lose weight for the movie

  • @ilovesoremuscles I've read that too, however, you can clearly tell when it shows her from behind on the doctor's table that the person is wearing a wig, or at least has different hair texture than the real main actress. I'm pretty sure it was a double.

  • @The80sTube I really hope it was a double....omgosh

  • I only eat breakfast and a piece of toast for dinner. Then before I go to bed I listen to "Waltz Moore" and Exercise and go to bed still exercising :/

  • I like how casual they made the scene with her purging it it is. Its not dramatic, or life changing, it just seems so normal.

  • She's beautiful,, ^.^...

  • "she is eating for two, and she - for NOBODY"! ..haha :)

  • I am reading the book again, and in the book the girls name is Kessa, well the new name is Kessa and the old name was Francekassa(sp). and she was a Ballarina and not a Cheerleader and her sister susanna was in a hippie somewhere=) but hey this is a movie so they dont have to be totaly true to the book

  • OH MY POO SHES SO THIN!

  • Unbelievable, that she really lost so much weight for a movie!

    and that the reggiseur supported this ._.

  • Did she starve herself to play the role in this movie?

  • the ass holes!

  • what i can't believe is that this actress was forced to starve herself and get to a dangerously low weight in order to play this role. Well actually, I guess it was kind of her choice. No one forced her to do anything. But why would you put yourself at risk for cardiac arrest, osteopoenia, and other debilitating diseases just for a part in a movie? She probably did permanent damage to her body!

  • @alyson32590 She did it under doctors' supervision.

  • Right that's who I was referring to, her friend.

  • I loved reading the book, and I'm glad I'm finally getting to watch the movie. thanks for the upload.

  • "well, it wouldn't hurt!"

    Smart words, mama.

  • Gail should of just moved out instead of living

  • Gail stop throwing you god damn napkin...jesus

    Can someone stop her from taking the spotlight everythime?

  • She barely purges. Does not take one second to purge. You purge a lot more than just two times of heaving. Unrealistic.

  • Parents are hilariously ignorant!LOL!

    also love the way she kicks away the scales - i've done that and ended up breaking them - next time i weighed myself i was 1 stone (14 pounds) t'was great!

  • Parents are hilariously ignorant!LOL!

  • Her parents suck cock! I love her hair.

  • Nice Parents

  • anyone know what happened in part 2?

    :)

  • omg dey changed the girl 9:22.... check out the fuzzy hair and diff hair color...but i get their point i guess

  • @bibiling yeah ur right you know, i saw that now you mention it.

  • I've gotten looks from the instructor about my weight. I could careless! I like dancing but its not what I live for. these rigid people are just control freaks who are miserable and know nothing about what it takes to be a great dancer-passion. Honestly I hope people laugh at these jerks!

  • @musictheatrelover.. Count me in..

    Peoples way of thinking about weight and your appearance to the world.. will never change..so sad when it affects our young children.. when instead of enjoying their childhood.. their obsessed about their weight.

  • Her parents are total assholes! No wonder she's mixed up and messed up..

  • i hate how they portray purgeing in movies, i've been bulimic for 4 years and it takes alot longer that the whole 2 1/2 mins that it took her

  • @cpotts339 Yeah, movie purges are so unrealistic, but they can't take 30 minutes of a movie for one purge, you know?

  • qualitiy´s so bad :(

  • @TheWinterHeat -- It's an old movie. I have an original copy of it - and it looks and sounds the same. This was made back in the early 80's if I believe... film just wasn't as advanced back then.

  • in the beginning of the movie she said her mom wanted her to lose five pounds. The girl was 108 lbs... No wonder her body image was so distorted.

  • @MsClassyChic09 it wasn't her mom, her friend's mom wanted her daughter to lose 5 lbs.

  • her parents are bitches

  • What happened in part 2? The audio had been taken off by you tube, so I dont know what happened :(

  • @4321xXtwilightXx1234 It got muted because it had a song by the Eagles. The Eagles vids usually always get muted.

  • her parents are f-ing crackheads!!

  • "You've never given us any trouble. That's why we love you so much" What the...

  • " she eats for two, and she eats for no one"! Doesn't he know his kids names? That dad is a prick! And her sister snitched. That went against the sister code.

  • You know those commercials where they tell you to sit down and eat dinner with your family more? Well, I don't think this family should do that.

  • @MsDisheveled IKR. Everytime they eat togather it's another soap opera.

  • hansome doctor~

  • man gale should of moved out instead of living there I mean what would poses to live their. An the aprents arent really supportive of her

  • gale needs to grow up big time

  • her parents are idiots

  • Her parents are horrible.

  • why does everyone always comment saying "purging is NOT that easy it takes WAY longer then 2 seconds"

    NO SHITT!

    its a movie, would YOU watch a movie that had like 20 minutes of someone attempting to throw up. they aren't going to spend half the film budget on an hour long scene showing someone gagging and sticking their finger down their throat for a long ass time.

    they are just trying to get the point across, she purged. i dont think the directors expected everyone to get all technical about it

  • you could tell that this movie is really old because of the graphics but it's still a good movie XD

  • Can anyone say what happened in the 2nd part?

    Silly thing wouldn't work

  • I only wish throwing up was that easy. Seriously, you could harldy throw up a popsicle in that amount of time. I have no idea why "popsicle" popped into my head... Lol.

  • Isn't it kind of weird that their Thanksgiving dinner is...only THEM? No extended family? Maybe that's symbolic? Shouldn't they be at Grandma's? Or SOMEWHERE? With OTHER PEOPLE??

  • throwing up takes a lot longer then 2 seconds

  • @Sonnylove92 I think she says Oh My god! What have you done? You're bones. :)

  • what dose her sister say when she is putting on her night gown ??

  • purging ain't at all like that. you don't just walk over to a toilet and say, "oh i think i'll just throw up now."

  • In these films he always see that the actress did not lose much weight, and make-up effects like few shadows painted do not help. Her face don't look like he had lost 24 punds. The scene in doctor's ofice we see they used other perosn, to how her from back very slim.

  • @jerryaltman No, she really lost the weight. They took off a few weeks for filming, and she went on medial-supervised liquid diet and got down to 86/87 pounds.

  • Look this table, look all this food...

    That's why Charles Durning got so fat latter.

    Ok... Talking seriouly, the father can be dumb today, bossy, but at least he cares to his daughters, not like many parents of today that don't give a damn to their families.

  • Her father is an asshole --.--

  • I have noticed in these type of movies the girls always have their own bathroom.

  • I have noticed in these type of movies the girls always have their own bathroom.

  • puke then sit right down and do homework.......i doubt it works that way.......

  • @bonesmccoy1 Sadly, it is.... for a lot of anoretics and bulimics. I've worked with many.

  • @turnoffthetv It's such a scary thing to see...its as if it is perfectly normal for them....and they don't see how much damage is being done...its a frightening condition with dire and sometimes fatal consequences......

  • God the dad's such a dick. There's no fucking way i would let anyone tell me what to eat. My whole fucking life's spiriling out of control. my food is the only thing i can control.

  • Her parents are to blame. they're such assholes.

  • man these kids are so f.ing spoilt.

  • Her radio looks like a microwave..

  • vicwau87 ... You wrote: "the main characters parents always seem to talk about them as if they're not there.." - Yes, but isn't that how it always is? I thought that was the way it usually is, except for a very select lucky few people?... Hmm.

  • Anni3cat ... I'm kind'a glad it turned out to be not that easy! Going bulimic is the last thing I wanna do!!

  • Does this family ever have a normal meal?

  • What´s wrong with these parents? They´re total a-holes about everything.

  • would have been nice to listen to part 2.

  • @AbercrombieGirl2011 yeah, I feel like I'm probably missing something really important now.

  • @AbercrombieGirl2011 Blame The Eagles.

  • @cutiegirl942: You want to puke? It feels like death, and not only you throw up your food, but also your stomach acids. I

  • she looked like emma watson during the dance scene

  • @TheSxcbiatch She said "Casey...you're bones!" because she was nothing but skin and bones :(

  • what did the sister say when she saw her putting her knight gown on. ??

  • the scale wouldn't have then pointer sideways, she's at about 100 lbs

  • What's with the bipolar dad?

  • I can guess she's even skinier than those models :DD

  • "kasey, you'll never be a professional dancer."

    "My teacher thinks I'm really good..."

    "Don't contradict your mother...you've never given us any trouble that's why we love you so much."

    Assholes for parents no wonder both kids are screwed up.
