  An overweight bullied teen girl finds sympathy from an unexpected source and soon finds herself at the center of a town mystery.

As promised, here is the video intro to the Twister “ride” that used to be in Universal Studios. It’s really just Bill Paxton striking a sexy pose whilst talking about the sexiness of tornados.
