( slight spoilers ! )
I don’t have specific time stamps but
near the mid beginning, Charlie ( Brendan Fraser ) is given a meatball sandwich by Liz and he starts to retch & choke. It can be triggering.
Second, near the end of the movie after Charlie has a fight with his wife, he binges and then V during it. It was triggering and somewhat graphic

It is talked about a few times but not shown onscreen. However another death can be construed as a suicide as well.

Without seeing to much of the movie it seems like there is portrayal of a obese person who eats to much and lazy/ mostly negative things about this person, which kinda mocks and blames people who Are both obese and overweight

There is a character who talks about running away from his home and not knowing where to go. It is not clearly said that they're homeless but we can guess it.
