在这部爱你的心剧情/爱情片中,故事发生在美国的一家小镇餐厅，那里的生活暮气沉沉，无论是女店东桃莉，她的胖儿子维多，还是在那里干了十五年女侍应的狄洛丝，看起来都有如行尸走肉。直至桃莉增加了年轻漂亮的大学生柯莉当侍应生，整个餐厅才活了起来。维多暗恋上柯莉，但不敢有所表示，直至一名餐厅常客里奥在那儿买醉出了事情，维多的生命才有所改变。
Victor is a cook who works in a greasy bar/restaurant owned by his mother, Dolly. It's just the two of them, a waitress named Delores, and a heavy drinking regular, Leo. But things change when Callie, a beautiful college drop-out, shows up as a new waitress and steals Victor's heart. But Victor is too shy to do anything about it, and too self-consciously overweight to dream of winning Callie away from her demanding boyfriend, Jeff. Victor's terrible loneliness overwhelms him when he has to face losing what he loves the most.
